Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - FOR FINISHED READERS, Time to discuss forrealz *SPOILERS SPOILERS* Options

[Rachel]

No, it said he was "snogging" Victorie, thats why I wanted to know how old she was.

[*SayBloodyMary*]

So wait, if Teddy's 19, wtf's he doing at Hogwarts Express?

Hanging out with Victoire, it would seem.

Anyway, just for interest's sake, this was the poem that appeared in the British versions (both adult and child; the only difference is the covers), and there was this extract as well:

The Libation Bearers
Aeschylus

Oh, the torment bred in the race,
the grinding scream of death
and the stroke that hits the vein,
The haemorrhage none can staunch, the grief,
the curse no man can bear.

But there is a cure in the house
and not outside it, no,
not from others but from them,
their bloody strife. We sing to you,
dark gods beneath the earth.

Now hear, you blissful powers underground-
answer the call, send help.
Bless the children, give them triumph now.

More Fruits Of Solitude
William Penn

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.

I finishedreading it at 1am. When I should have been doing for the class that i am currently in.
Anyways, I LOVED IT!! I knew J.K. Rowling couldn't kill off Harry! But so many people died in this book! Wow. It was amazing. I finished it in two days
I kind of wish there were more to it though. So many questions left unanswered.
I read, I think here at CB opinions on this book when the last one was out...and I remember reading someone though Harry was the last Horcux, and whoever they were, they were right! Also how Dumbledore wanted to Snape to kill him. *nods*

prob 17, her last year at hogwarts

[Flaunted]

trying to remember who's kid was who was .. hard
except.. why does his name have to be Albus Severus Potter..
I laughed so hard when Harry called him. omgomg.

I loved this book so mucch!
I'm gonna start rereading the whole series again <3

Mrs. Weasley <3 omg loove her in that last scene.
oh yeah what are secret-keepers again?

[clarissa]

omg. scorpius... albus severus... hugo... LOL. poor kids.

i thought the epilogue was disappointing and the book could've been better without it. reminded me of bad fanfiction, in my opinion.

overall, though, it was awesome.

[*Michelle*]

James - that was the same in our book as well. :]

i think the best part was when mrs. weasley said

"NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH" i was laughing, i hope they say that in the movie.

i have no questions right now but i am trying to think of it. but yea.

[pandamonium]

oh okay answered one of my questions ^^^

but here are my questions...

when did voldemort take harry's blood? was that in the sixth book, lol which i didnt read....

what happened to bellatrix?? she was just arrested and sent to azkaban?

oh yea and why was draco supposed to get the elder wand? how was he a descendant... i probably skipped over that.

sidenotes -------------------------------------

-and i would of loved to kill goyle if i was ron. during the battle.
- i was hoping harry would kill atleast someone.
- ginny was funny when she insisted luna go with harry to the ravenclaw common room instead of cho.
- i was expecting a little more from the ending, not the epilogue.
- i cant wait to see how the kids look like in the movie
- its kind of tacky how harry named his son albus severus. come on now. seriously.

[*Michelle*]

I SHALL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS!


when did voldemort take harry's blood? was that in the sixth book, lol which i didnt read....
...In the FOURTH BOOK. Remember when Wormtail took some of Harry's blood?

what happened to bellatrix?? she was just arrested and sent to azkaban? Killed by Mrs. Weasley

oh yea and why was draco supposed to get the elder wand? how was he a descendant... i probably skipped over that. He got it b/c he won it from Dumbledore.

I suggest you re-read the series and the book slowly and carefully. =_=

[Rachel]

^Well maybe he meant what happened to Bellatrix before the fight went down?....

[*Michelle*]

^Well maybe he meant what happened to Bellatrix before the fight went down?....

Remember? She was like moaning Voldy's name when Voldy collapsed. They thought Harry died, so they had a victory march into Hogwarts, where Mrs. Weasley killed her. ^_^

[pandamonium]

no i did mean after the fight. i forgot what happened to her. but i re-read it. lol haha sorry. i already forgot that witch died. lol

I suggest you re-read the series and the book slowly and carefully. =_=

thanks

[marzipan]

i just finished the book....
=.=
.....

so...sad...

i was so sad when dobby died.
after all he did for harry and his friends...

[pandamonium]

yea i was so suprised how many freaking people died. i was really hoping that none of the weasley's would have died either.

and i would of been pissed off if neville did especially.
he came a long way in the story.

"Stop your sobbing! More Potter to come"

[HakunaMatata]

WAIT OMG I JUST READ THE TITLE BUT NOT YET THE ARTICLE AND OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Edit:// Ah, blissful confirmation.

And she was supposed to kill MISTER WEASLEY?

[*davinci*]

I can't believe she was thinking about killing off Mr. Weasly. He's one of my favs and I thought 'wow, she's killing off so many of my favorite characters, thank God she didn't kill off Mr. Weasly too'.

Remember all the horrible things that have happened to the Weasly family over the years. Ick.

Yes, they are pretty unlucky T_T

The only one who had nothing happen to them was Mrs. Weasley, basically... but I suppose she got the worse considering she is the mother.

[*ersatz*]

Wow. I didn't cry at all, but if she had killed Mr. Weasley...wow. That would be over.

[heyyfrankie]

i'm really upset that hedwig dies.
i mean, i know she just delivers mail but still. :[

[pandamonium]

i heard about her writing another book also on NBC, they talked about it for like 2 seconds but that was it. In the book whenever she writes it, i hope that she writes what happens with everyone in the future. like instead of neville being a teacher, we should know what everybody does for a living.

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

there are a lot of open questions that are still popping up in other sites.

like could they have used the sword of gryffindor to kill more than one horcrux... ?

and i really want to know what happened with dudley and his parents. i thought it was a great part when dudley defended harry in the beginning, when he said he didnt think harry was a waste of space. IM guessing thats what he saw when the dementors came to him, all the times that he had put down harry. and petunia definitely wanted to say more stuff to harry. i just felt that needed to be closed off. especially where did they live during all of this.

what happened to umbridge. i was hoping for her to die. lol hahha. but yea especially after everything, she would find out that voldy was controlling the ministry.

and also, why in king's cross... if it even was voldemort, why was he in the form of a baby? why wasnt he something else? Or atleast a ghost, was this the doing of him splitting himself up?

Also, what happened to george after his twin died? did he run the shop or what, i feel so bad for him..

after everything that was happening, was dumbledore really dead? lol. or was his plan just going exactly as he hoped.

and how did neville attain the sword before killing nagini? it was said that maybe the sword was enchanted and appeared in the sorting hat because thats where the sword wanted it to be. but thats the only theory i have heard so far.

i know there are a lot more questions but i think its good that JKR left these un answered. its good to speculate and think up theories.
