Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

So were you shocked at the ending? What did you think of the book?

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

i'm not completely shocked, but I am really sad.

I still can't decide if snape is really a death eater, or if dumbledore asked him to kill him and knew of this plan the whole time.

Overall I thought the book was really good - thought I feel it started off kind of slow.

I can't wait to finds out in book 7, although, I don't want it to end!

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

It was sad, but I thought the book was great!! I am curious to see abotu Snape as well, and can't wait to read the last story!!

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

Like Deb, I was not shocked but still so saddened. I have to admit I cried when reading it.
I am SOO intrigued to see about Snape.
Some days I think hes good and some days I think he is evil.
Is there any word on when the next one should be expected?

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

Next one probably wouldn't be for 2 years


I have a feeling that DD isn't really dead and Snape was helping him the whole time

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

When the actor who had played Dumbledore died, I always thought he would be the one to die (I know they replaced him, but I still had a feeling).

It was sad...I think the next book is going to be very interesting...she has a lot of things to tie up before it ends.

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

i agree, not so shocked, but saddened....i cant wait for the next one!!

i watched the trailer for the 4th movie yesterday (through itunes) cant wait for it to come out in novemeber

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

I also feel that DD isnt really dead.. that it was all part of the plan?? maybe i dont want to believe it. I cant foresee Hogwarts going on without him.. I dont know I have so many questions and ideas!!!

It is so easy to believe that Snape is on evil side but there has to be more to it. Dumbledore was an extremely intelligent man.. He knew about Malfoy the whole time.

I just dont feel like he was duped by Snape.. I think there is much more to it..

I loved the book. I was not shocked that Dumbledore "died" however...Sad but I didnt cry like I thought I would. Maybe because I believe he is still around...

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

Interesting about some plan with Snape and DD that may be explained. I thought that maybe Snape was a triple agent but who knows. I definitely am looking forward to exploring this and other ideas in the 7th book. I enjoyed HBP but it was very sad with DD dying.

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

So the next book won't have Harry in schgool? Just hunting down Voldemort....what do you think?

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

I hope she still get hagrid involved somehow.

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

I enjoyed the book...definately sad that DD died (or did he...I'm still trying to convince myself on that one)...not sure about the whole Snape situation...afterall DD trusted him and I can't beleive that he would be wrong on his assumption of him...I seem to be leaning in the direction that DD told Snape to kill him knowing full well what Malfoy was up to...two years is going to be a long time....

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

I wonder if she is going to do a book for each Horcrux?

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

she's said in interviews that she'll do book seven and then be done with the series. she could change her mind, but i doubt it...

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

She said she was 99% sure she wouldn't ever write another HP novel after Book 7, but she will probablt write more reference books (like the quidditch and magical creatures ones) that will give proceeds to charity

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

I still think Snape may be good- I can't believe that Dumbledore would be so wrong.

Also, I think if he was really bad then he would have hurt them all during the fight (like Harry, Hermione).

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

I think at some point, DD realized that he would be more powerful in the fight if he were dead than alive.

Harry now has more determination and no "fall-back" and Dumbledore can still advise him (through the picture in the headmaster's office).

I think, while they won't be at Hogwarts, there will be scenes there, as the Sword and Ring are still in the office. That will still work in all the other Characters. Plus there is still another Horcrux we don't know about that could still be there too.

And I agree that Snape HAD to kill DD.

Any theories about RAB? I think it was Sirius' brother that died a while ago.

I know they would sigh and make noise and stuff, but I think they are just pictures.

Like when he saw pics of his parents waving, but he didn't talk to them.

Also, at the end when he went up to DD's office Harry saw the protrait of him, wouldn't he have talked to him then?

Re: Those who finished reading Harry Potter come on in.....

The old headmaster talked to DD adn harry with the horcrux...called harry insolent and said how that wouldn't happen in his day. These are portraits...just liike the fatlady who talks to them when the enter their dormatory.
I think the DD portrait will talk to harry when he some how ends up alone in that room.
