The Official Harry Potter Discussion Thread!!!

Finished it yesterday. Decent book some parts seemed redundent like
the forest camping, too long
. I was hoping she would kill off
Ron, he's annoying and I don't really think he's much use.
Anyone see that episode of Robot Chicken that poked fun at
Ron, what a pussy!
.
Neville suprised me with his actions in the end of the book way to kill the snake
. What character would you have liked to see get killed?

I really noticed a big difference in the last few books, she went to a darker more mature tone and abandoned the real "kiddie" feeling to the first 2 books.

I was thinking you could skip the first 2 books and dive right in at the 3rd. Also what do you think of the Harry Potter series as a fantasy series. She's a great writer, but how does J.K. Rowling's style compare to other Fantasy books such as Lord of the Ringswritten by J.R.R Tolkien?

I expect to get ripped apart for this post.
 
^^ The story really does get going from the 3rd book on, I agree with you there. I'm about halfway through Sorceror's Stone, and now that I'm reading it again, I'm seeing little things here and there that I never would've paid attention to. I probably wouldn't agree to skipping the first two books though. The initial meetings of characters, Harry entering the Wizarding world, and so on, all contribute to the overall story.

I didn't really want any of the 3 to die. I do tend to like authors who aren't afraid to kill off main characters (like George R R Martin, for example), but with HP, I wanted them all to have a happy ending. It sounds sappy I guess, but after the crappy childhood Harry had, then fighting Voldermort for 7 years, he deserved a good life.

And I wonder if Rowling kept the main 3 alive because, at the heart of it, HP is a "children's story", and she wanted to give that happy ending. I put that in quotes because really, people of ALL ages read it.

Also to Magus, yeah I was wondering what happened to Mad-Eye. I thought they'd find him later actually alive and under the Imperius curse or something, but he was kind of forgotten about. And Lupin and Tonks' deaths, I agree also. It was kind of glossed over. Especially where Lupin and Tonks just had a kid, I thought Harry would exhibit more grief that they would never see their son grow up, nor would that son have parents (just like Harry).

Which brings me to her writing style. What makes Rowling's style so wonderful is that it is accessible to all ages. Though I know there is vocabulary in there that children won't understand, at the same time it'll help them build vocabulary, and they can understand what's going on in the story plenty well. And because her books aren't written at a child's reading level, adults find them immersing as well.

I remember when I used to take the train to work. It was just before HPB was being released, and several people were reading (or re-reading) the previous books. Women AND men, young and old. I remember being surprised, because I guess I didn't realize how popular it was among adults.

Anyway, I don't know how I would compare her with the other greats of fantasy writing, but I believe Rowling holds her own. Her writing style is descriptive without being overly so, she created a believable world with believable characters, and her books are enjoyed by people of all ages.
 
Another article about after Book 7. Source link below.

Spoiler alert: This story reveals some key plot points in the final Harry Potter book. So if you've haven't finished the book, J.K. Rowling asks that you not read this story.

If you found the epilogue of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” rather vague, then J.K. Rowling achieved her goal.

The author was shooting for “nebulous,” something “poetic.” She wanted the readers to feel as if they were looking at Platform 9¾ through the mist, unable to make out exactly who was there and who was not.

“I do, of course, have that information for you, should you require it,” she told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira rather coyly in her first interview since fans got their hands on the final book.

Ummm … yes, please!

Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.)

“But it didn’t work very well as a piece of writing,” Rowling said. “It felt very much that I had crowbarred in every bit of information I could … In a novel you have to resist the urge to tell everything.”

But now that the seventh and final novel is in the hands of her adoring public, Rowling no longer has to hold back any information about Harry Potter from her fans. And when 14 fans crowded around her in Edinburgh Castle in Scotland earlier this week as part of TODAY’s interview, Rowling was more than willing to share her thoughts about what Harry and his friends are up to now.

Harry, Ron and Hermione
We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child.
As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head.

“Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department,” Rowling said. “They are now the experts. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what else they’ve done.”

Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron’s wife, is “pretty high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in “Deathly Hallows.”

“I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding,” Rowling said.

Harry, Ron and Hermione don’t join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years; they revolutionize it and the ministry evolves into a “really good place to be.”

“They made a new world,” Rowling said.

The wizarding naturalist
Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum.

“I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.”

Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don’t exist.

“But I do think that she’s so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one’s ever seen before,” Rowling said.

Luna and Neville Longbottom?
It’s possible Luna has also found love with another member of the D.A.

When she was first asked about the possibility of Luna hooking up with Neville Longbottom several years ago, Rowling’s response was “Definitely not.” But as time passed and she watched her characters mature, Rowling started to “feel a bit of a pull” between the unlikely pair.

Ultimately, Rowling left the question of their relationship open at the end of the book because doing otherwise “felt too neat.”

Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom: “The damage is done.”

There is no chance, however, that Neville’s parents, who were tortured into madness by Bellatrix Lestrange, ever left St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies.

“I know people really wanted some hope for that, and I can quite see why because, in a way, what happens to Neville’s parents is even worse than what happened to Harry’s parents,” Rowling said. “The damage that is done, in some cases with very dark magic, is done permanently.”

Rowling said Neville finds happiness in his grandmother’s acceptance of him as a gifted wizard and as the new herbology professor at Hogwarts.

The fate of Hogwarts
Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the school for witchcraft and wizardry is led by an entirely new headmaster (“McGonagall was really getting on a bit”) as well as a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That position is now as safe as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort’s death broke the jinx that kept a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year.

While Rowling didn’t clarify whether Harry, Ron and Hermione ever return to school to finish their seventh year, she did say she could see Harry popping up every now and again to give the “odd talk” on Defense Against the Dark Arts.

More details to come?
Rowling said she may eventually reveal more details in a Harry Potter encyclopedia, but even then, it will never be enough to satisfy the most ardent of her fans.

“I’m dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry’s great-great-grandparents,” she said. Not that she’s discouraging the Potter devotion!

“I love it,” she said. “I’m all for that.”

People keep dismissing problems in the wizzarding world following book 7 because it says
That Harrys scar hasnt hurt for 19 years
all that means is that
voldemort hasnt ressurected
it doesnt mean that
another or a handful of evil/ superevil wizards hasnt come about
I feel it left a huge gap in that regard. Plus another
evil wizard from the continent would be badass
 
I have a two part question:
In the epilogue was Ted Lupin on the back of the Hogwarts Express? And if he was isn't he suppose to be 19? I thought people graduated at 17?

I didnt notice that. Well, since they state that he's not living with Harry, as he comes around for dinner, and since Harry was his godfather, I think we can assume that he is of age already and possibly living on his own. As mentioned, it isnt mentioned that he's there to board the train to ride, so I agree that he's just there to....snog....

Well, they did make an effort in pointing out the fact that Harry was going to leave the resurrection stone where it was. Maybe JK wanted people to know there was a chance a death eater could find it and try to bring Voldermort back. Though after a pussy death like he had, i think he'd be ashamed to be brought back to "life" (the book mentioned something about the resurectees not really being alive, but i'm sure a death eater would find a way to make him 'whole' again).

Well, I think it was stated that no one knew he dropped the stone, where he dropped it, nor that he even had it (Besides Hermione / Ron). Its in the forbidden forest, so no one would even go in, let alone think of it as an area to search for it. Ok, Hagrid might find it, but the odds of finding a ring on the floor of a dark forrest, which probably spans a good amount, is, well, very unlikely.

He wasn't on the back of the bus, he was "snogging" Fluer and Bill's daughter, who was 17, a "senior" or whatever at Hogwarts. He had undoubtedly graduated two years earlier.


Anyways, I wrote up my feelings about the whole series here:

http://www.xanga.com/ethanmccarthy/606427875/thank-you-joanne-rowling.html

[quote name='me']I still remember writing my name out on that slip of paper, and placing it in that fated little jar. When the time came to draw a winner, what luck or magic put my name in those clutching fingers I know not, but, like the conscious mutterings of the sorting hat, it would bring me on a fantastic journey through a vivid world I had never dreamed of. I would soon be clutching my newly-won copy of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", reading in pitch black, by flashlight, of a mysterious abandoned house, a slithering snake, a shrowded creature within. From the first page I was captivated, drawn in to this wonderful world from the moment I lifted the cover of this beautifuly illustrated, hard-bounded, hefty volume.

Perhaps this entry should be titled "thank you South Lansing Capital Area District Library", for if it weren't for you, I'd have never discovered this fantasy world, that up until that moment I had only heard of from sadly close-minded and ignorant individuals decrying it's "occult evils."

I had never read a Harry Potter book, but from that moment on, the vivid fantasy of the Twiwizard Tournament, the adventurous escapades through the halls of Hogwarts, the captivating characters and emotional relationships I hope to never forget (or, if to forget, then to rediscover later with as much fascination as when I was a ten year old under the covers with a flashlight in hand) -- they became an amazing fantasy world that I so cherished my every page within.

I would soon rent the previous three volumes, and when the fifth finally released three years later, beg my mother to buy it. I have read these books with such fervor and excitement no other book has ever been able to acheive, indeed, no other movie or television series or videogame or word-of-mouth tale has ever acheived. These are works of such unrelenting beauty. Books that I know, in my heart, will never be matched by any others in their vivid role in my life, as the fantasy universe I have grown up in.

I feel so immensly blessed to have been able to experience these books. To grow up reading them.

Thank you Joanne Rowling. You've done something truly great.[/quote]
 
Okay, I have another question (kinda long):
So, in the end Voldemort's Avada Kedavra was rebounded to him because Harry is the true master of the Elder Wand, BUT what about the previous Avada Kedavra? The one in the woods, Voldemort used that spell right? Either way, why didn't that spell rebound back to him? And if it did why didn't the Death Eaters notice it?

Harry allowed himself to get hit. It wasn't clean though: Voldemort was either knocked flat on his ass or knocked out. The spell didn't fully rebound on him though.

This is about where that leap of faith needs to be made. If you try to work it out logically, it's hopelessly convoluted and doesn't make sense. Just sorta have to accept it.

[/QUOTE]

I had made the assumption that the Avada Kedavra rebounded because Harry was now in physical possession of the Elder Wand so it forced it to be rebound. Could also be because now that it killed the part of Voldemort that was within Harry, it had no reason to effect Harry at all and thus rebounded.

edit: Spoiler Tags added.

my feeling is that harry was the master of the wand, so if he wanted the wand to kill him since he was the master, it would have. Hence him getting hit by the first killing curse. The only reason i think Vold went down was because it wasnt a clean break of his soul when harry got a piece. It was an accidental fragment, so I think he might have felt it being destroyed since there was no hocrux creation spell.

Harry cast a spell the second time, which rebounded the Avada Kedavra. Harry just sat there the first time, so it hit him (but it actually hit the part of Voldemort's soul inside Harry, hence him not dying

I have a question or two of my own.

I thought JKR said something was going to happen with Petunia? The only interesting thing I saw from her was wanting to join Hogwarts as a kid. Was that it? It also said Harry's eyes would play a big part, but I didn't catch that either, unless Snape protecting Harry since he reminded him of Lily was that deal, which is rather underwhelming if true.

she said someone at a late age was going to use magic, people just assumed it was Petunia because of Lily and she would be least likely to get magic, but it never happened, but she might fill that in, in the eventual encyclopedia. Harry's eyes were important because it was the reason that Snape spent all those years as a double agent. Every time he saw harry it was a reminder of his mistake, his loss, and his commitment to keeping the progeny of his love alive. So even though it seems simple it was a cornerstone to the series

But I swear she also mentioned that Petunia would have a twist to her, but it wouldn't be performing magic or being a Squib. :whistle2:k The eye part makes sense though. I really enjoyed the book, but I'm upset Snape and Lupin died. Those two are probably number 2 and 3 of deaths I'm most upset over, with Dumbledore being at 1. Still can't believe it's over.

In other news, I'll be getting my Deluxe Edition in the mail tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Think back to Book 5. If memory serves correctly, Harry's scar hurt when Umbridge touched him or got close to him.

Besides, I'm convinced that Rowling won't be revisiting that time period if she continues the Potter universe in some form. It wouldn't make sense for another powerful dark wizard to appear, given the direction the epilogue seemed to point in, and if she did do that, it'd just be a pale imitation of the original series.

Well, back in Snapes flashback, it turns out Petunia wanted to become a witch, but she was denied. Maybe that was it?

How much was the deluxe? I saw that my Borders had a few copies left, but it was already late enough and I just wanted to buy my book and get home and get some Zzz's

I actually preordered it way back in March from Amazon for $39. I didn't realize that I would be away for the release, which is why I'm just getting to discussing it now, I just returned. So I bought the normal book at Walmart at midnight, and my mail that accumulated while I was gone will be delivered tomorrow, and the book will be with it. Can't wait to check it out.
 
Got the deluxe edition today, and I'm very disappointed. It has a different jacket, a color picture in the front, and a black and white picture from each chapter in the back. That's shitty.
 
Just finished the book yesterday. I was in the middle of OOTP when it came out, so I had to wait.

My random thoughts:
- Overall, it was very well done and was a great conclusion to the series. It wrapped everything up nicely and I was always surprised at the twists and turns it made.

- All the action scenes will look fantastic on film.

- The chapter about Snape's past: HOLY fuckING SHIT!! I did not see that coming at all! That one chapter pretty muched brought everything from the entire series together.

- The camping part of the book was a little long and boring. My sister said it reminded her of Crime and Punishment, cause it was mostly waiting and contemplating. It also seemed kinda random when they would be like, "Let's go to this place!" out of nowhere. The movie will likely cut this out, though.

- DOBBY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

- I like the little house-elf rebellion at the end.

- There was a lot of talking during the final battle. It kinda sucked in book form, but Ralph Fiennes is so good as Voldemort that it could actually work.

- It was overall better than Half-Blood Prince
 
Will post thoughts later (while at work, when I will be getting paid to do so, incidentally).

I will say this:

I finished a little over 22 hours ago - at 2:38 AM on 7/29/07.

The fact that I can recite the exact minute should tell you something. In fact, I'm firmly sure I will always be tethered back to that specific minute, and will be able to recall the exact amount of time that has progressed since then as I shuffle forward upon this mortal'd coil.

So yeah. Something to think about.
 
Not sure, but it is still going on now. I haven't thought of a question to ask, so right now I'm just reading what others are asking.
 
I've asked 5 questions, none of them have gotten through yet.

This woman is immensely charming though.

Tina: Do the muggles notice that there arent any weird things going on now that voldemorts gone

J.K. Rowling: Yes, the world seems a much sunnier place (literally - with the Dementors gone the weather gets better!)
J.K. Rowling: We are having a heavily Dementor-influenced summer here in the UK.
 
J.K. Rowling: We seem to have over-run. We've had over 120,000 questions, I've been told!

Looks like it's about over... Neat though!
 
well my three questions went unanswered

Did Mrs Weasley use a killing curse on Bellatrix?
What does snape see in the mirror of erised?
What would have happened to Voldemort if he repented?
 
[quote name='Ikohn4ever']

I imagine he saw himself with Lily.

Just a guess though.

I think the answer to the first question is "yes," but I'm not sure.
 
Mine went unanswered as well:

Will you have any involvement in the final two movies now that you no longer have to meet writing deadlines?

Why couldn’t the Death Eaters Taboo a word like Harry/Ron/etc?

Do you think Harry – after the end of 7 – went and shared the truth with the public about things like Dumbledore’s past, the search for the Horcruxes, Snape’s true nature, etc?

How do you pronounce “Horcrux?” Does it have the hard “ecks” sound or is it “roo?”

What happened to Mundungus after Harry interrogated him? He is no longer mentioned after this.
 
She mentioned that she was going to try to answer a lot of the questions on her website eventually. Plus there's always that encyclopedia to look forward to... :)

yeah i think harry
told ron and heromione everything including his meeting with dumbledore while dead. its something dumbledore has pushed harry to do from the beginning which is to confide in his friends in everything going on with him something that were shown dumbledore didnt do in his youth.
as far as mungdus
i think he went on to being who he really was which is a crook of sorts especially after the enchantment wore off. he was just a tool and nothing more.
i think horcrux is pronounced in my mind like whore croos but i could be wrong.

but all in all my biggest problem with the series is the pensive
. why the hell wasnt it used to prove sirius's innocence once they all saw wormtail all they needed was to show their memories in it and sirius would have been freed.

As far as the Taboo word, Ron said when he came back that only people who were in the Order and Supporters of Dumbledore would dare say his name. Also think of how many Harry's and Ron's are out there and no one would think twice before saying Harry.

"Horcux" is Hor-CRUX http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/books/pronunciation.htm

She said something in the chat about harry clearing Snape's name and letting people know who side he was on.

Also, makes sense re:
Taboo words. There'd be too many instances to go after, which would create a boy-who-cried-sheep situation. The Death Eaters wouldn't know where to go.
