I still haven't read the books or seen a movie, but the trailer of the 3rd movie was really cool!

How can you say that? We haven't even been shown a whole dementor. Just a hand and the sleeve of a robe opening a window in one of the trailors.

I mean, I've heard some people who've seen it (early editor cuts) think there is some resemblance, but they said that it was obvious they tried to stay away from the Ring Wraith design as much as possible.

yeah. that's what i mean. in the early cuts, yea.

As much as I am obsessed with Harry Potter, I to hope that the books end with his graduation, or possibly one other... maybe a history or companion sorta like the other Tolkein books.

I hope she continunes writing, just, not these.

oh yeah, Fictionalley.org is a Harry Potter site which has a TON of fanfics, many of which are REAllY good!

i think that it would be neat to have more books because i Love Harry Potter, but the point that many people have made about it taking away from the legend of the books makes a lot of sense... so I guess i just would like for her to keep writing, maybe not necessarily adding on to the HP adventures, but could follow something else

the thing with what happens in the 7th book: no, Harry and Hermione don't get together, it hasn't been set up that way..it is obvious that it is Ron and Hermione that hook up, I have a feeling that Harry might end up with a muggle but that has no fact behind it (just would be an interesting twist)

don't know about the dementors, i think they would try to keep it original

And the final showdown between Harry and voldemort definately depends on whether or not Rowling plans on keeping the HP books going...because if she does Voldemort will have to be a part of them or they just wouldn;t be as exciting

I think what you said about her following with something not part of the HP universe is a brilliant idea. She is an awesome and very creative writer, and I would like to see what else she can pull out for us.

But I hold with my statement before....as much as I love HP, it should end where she originally planned it too.

I think Harry will eventually get with Cho, because book #5 talks about how Lily didn't like Harry's dad too much until he got older and more mature, and I think Harry will mature and realize he shouldn't be a dick to her.

Hermione and Ron better hook up.

And Dumbledore will die...

Vampyr · 03-09-2004, 06:26 PM

I think dumbledore will turn out to be evil.

If Rowling does put out an eighth book to the series, it better not add an eighth year to Hogwarts. It's not like it has to be marked "Book 8" on the spine either. I too, would like an "eighth book" to focus on some part of Harry's future AFTER he has left Hogwarts. Mind you, that's ONLY if an eighth book really does come out. I personally don't care for an eighth book and would just rather have Rowling stick to her word and just end it at book 7.

Now if there's an eighth book that will come out, there just better not be a book 9. Voldemort just needs to DIE at some point. Enough of this madness.
