This kind of thing is why I love Rowling's writing. Her attention to detail is exquisite, and she's got to plan all this stuff first, because it can't just come up randomly.

It wouldn't seem like Dumbledore would be an animagus, otherwise Hermione would have mentioned it after she went to look up McGonagal. But then I can't think of any other reason why JKR would name him Dumbledore.

Ni!

Because "Dumbledore" sounds COOL, that's why! [Razz]

Dude, Dumbledore is totally Godric Gryffindor on the Philosopher's Stone elixir of life. That's why he's got an immortal familiar.

I can't imagine Dumbledore being that selfish. And doesn't it say in the book that when Harry sees him in Riddle's diary that he looks younger? It seems like the elixir of life wouldn't let him age.

Yeah, for a while in book 2 I thought he was Gryffindor, but later, meh...

I don't think Harry will die. She's said before that "it's not impossible- I can never rule it out" that she would write more harry potter books after book 7. Sounds like he lives, to me.

Anybody seen The Dark Crystal? Harry and Voldemort will merge in the end, and the world will be right once more. Hermione will end up with Ron (that's fairly obvious), but she might have a fling with Harry.

I think Harry really is quite selfish, and I like that. He is not a good guy by nature. He has the potential for evil within him - even the Sorting Hat saw that. Perhaps Slytherin House would have been better for him. I'm really intrigued to see how this all works out.

You never know, Book. Sometimes a story takes you somewhere you don't want to go.

I'd also LIKE to see the books end at book seven. Harry's story needs an end.

Ni!

Operaetta asked me for a red marker earlier today. I gave it to her, assuming that she was going to color with it. Since then she has been walking around with a HP scar drawn on her forehead with aforementioned red marker.

My husband's best friend is totally anti-HP, even though his girlfriend loves it. (That's fine.) He tells us he will never read it and refuses to see the movie. (Also his prerogative.) So when his girlfriend, my husband, our mutual friend, and I made plans to see the movie, what did this guy do? He went WITH us to the theater, complained about HP while we were driving there, insisted on sitting outside of the theater doing nothing while we were watching it, and convinced our mutual friend to sit out there with him so he wouldn't be alone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This makes me angry just reading it. If he didn't want to see it, why did he come along? I don't understand.

why? because he's obviously fifteen years old and Too Cool To Live.

Seems like Rowling's books are far more planned out than others. I mean, Sirius was named "Sirius," right from the start, so that meant she had been thinking of him as an Animagus right from the start, too, right? I know that originally it was a muggle who ratted out the Potters, and eventually it turned into Pettigrew, but still..

Dumbledore could be an unregistered Animagus.

Somewhat OT, but does anyone else hear the voice of the portrait of Sirius Black's mother as the voice of Principal Skinner's mother?

Maybe Dumbledore is a metamorphagus or whatever-the-heck that thing is. That would explain how he could look younger in the old memories. OH! I know! Tonks is Dumbledore! [Razz]
