QUOTE | With all her 'no books beyond book seven' speech (which I love!) it does make you wonder if Harry will manage to kill Voldemort, or if he'll die. |
Right, Yoda, but won't Harry dying mean that everyone is doomed for all eternity? (unless the prophecy means something else, of course.)
As for my least favorite characters, it's gotta be (in order):
Voldemort Umbridge Wormtail B. Lestrange Fudge

QUOTE | 'But neither can live while the others survives |
Now, while Voldemort was 'dead' to the world (excepting wizards who thought along Hagrid's lines i.e. Dumbledore & his crowd) did Harry have a life of his own?
PS/SS - his first year as a wizard - thwarted Voldemort - against his will? maybe...
CoS - his second year - thwarted Tom Riddle/Voldemort - again, he was drawn into it
PoA - Harry's third year - tackles Voldemort's servant(s) - Sirius (probably without intent) drew Harry into the search for the truth/Pettigrew
GoF - the fourth year - Hello! Voldemort returns!
OotP - the fifth year - Harry, through dreams, is manipulated by Voldemort
So all in all, consider this, in the wizarding world, has Harry ever had a life to call his own? Voldemort has survived all this time - and Harry has always stopped him. So, if Harry had died, Voldemort would have lived his life, but it would have ended. So ends the misery, unless his followers carry through the reign of terror...
It's all such a complex mystery that it's brilliant, and that's why we can only wait to see what happens to our least favourite characters.
Yoda, providing thought bubbles (hopefully)

Interesting... I've rarely looked at it that way I guess you're right; we'll just have to wait for the books to arrive

Hmm. Good thoughts there, Yoda. I'm really not liking Percy very much lately. He was never a favorite of mine, but ever since OotP, he has really dropped down. I do hope to find out that he's a spy or something, but I keep thinking that with his quest for power, he'll wind up as a DE.

I get days like that, but I trying to get used to the whole I'm living on the East Coast and haven't done that since I was six years old and I want to move back to San Fransisco and be with my dad and Grandmother, but instead I'm stuck with my Mom, stepdad, stepsiblings (Only one of which I can half tolerate) and annoying halfsister. But i'm trying to appreciate the things Philadelphia has that San fransisco doesn't, like snow. But that's the only thing I can think of.
And to the question I have been asked many times before on other boards: yes my name REALLY is Ginny, only it's not short for Ginevra or Virginia, it's short for Genevieve (pronounced Gin-eh-veev, not Gen-uh-veev or John-vee-ev, as I'm constantly correcting people, like my stepfather for example)

Ron: He's a jealous prat who doesn't take time to think things through. He doesn't realize that he's richer than Harry in some ways. Hermione: I had a lab partner like her in Biology. Annoying little.....grr. Crabbe and Goyle: They just stand there. They annoy me. Fudge: He's an idiot. Dumbledore: The twinkling, cheerfulness.....it gets to me.

Hmm, well i'm a hp fan, and there are definitaly some people who i dislike. besides the bad guys. and voldemort. sure, he's mean, he's killed tons of people-so what? just kidding. but, to tell the truth, the person who i hate most is Harry. why harry? why our fearless hero? becasue, honestly, i don't think that he's THE hero-i think that it is neville. yes, neville, the almost-squib. but look at him in OotP-he's gaining powers, rapidly. also (i've heard this a dozen times from my friends that it can't be neville, the propehcy, what dumbledore said, yada yada yada-but as i was re-re-re-reading the 5th book, i came across something) in the prophecy, it never says when this will happen. the only words that allude to a date is when the one with the power to vanquish voldemort will be born. it nevers says when. it COULD have been when harry got the scar, but maybe not. maybe it will happen in the last book, when neville (beucase i seriousily think that it is neville) will kill voldemort, or die trying. so, that is why i hate harry. he's stole all the limelight from neville, who deserves it. and, judging from the last books, how much do you bet that the fact that harry THINKS he's 'the one with the power' will make him really, really, really egotistical? sooo, any comments on my theory?
