A Very Harry Ending

February 18, 2007 -- HARRY Potter is not going to die.

But Professor Snape will.

Harry Potter will not hook up with Hermione. But his best friend will.

And Harry Potter will never see Dumbledore alive again. But Dumbledore will still manage to help him.

How do I know these things about the recently completed seventh and final book in the beloved Harry Potter series?

I don’t.

Like millions of other Potter-loving muggles, I’m just guessing. That’s half the fun.

[Tax-chick]

Whack a blodger at Rowling!

It's very tempting! I'll have to Bless her Heart, at least.

[CholeraJoe]

One of my biggest questions is, "Did Emma Watson do her own screaming for the movies, or did they use a stunt screamer?" She had some major league screams in "Sorcerer's Stone" and "Prisoner of Azkaban."

[Tax-chick]

That's a good question. I hadn't really envisioned Hermione as a shrieker, actually.

[Tanniker Smith]

Just give it a few years, and we'll read all about it on "Page Six".

Actually, I really hope she doesn't end up going the Lindsay Lohan route.

[Constantine XIII]

Oh, LOL!

You win 1,238,993 internets, Tax-chick. ^_^

[Tax-chick]

Thank you, thank you, please tip your server ...

I hope we don't find Volume 7 to be full of dangling modifiers, Comma Chaos, and Homophone Howlers ... I noticed three errors in "Half-Blood Prince," and I've only read it twice. The first couple of volumes were exquisite.

[Tax-chick]

I really hope she doesn't end up going the Lindsay Lohan route.

I agree. She's a pretty and talented young lady, in spite of her rather irritating enunciation. I hope she has a long and dignified career.

[CholeraJoe]

Dan Radcliff's the one that's getting nekkid in public these days.

[CholeraJoe]

She split an infinitive in Goblet of Fire.

[Tax-chick]

And from there, it's just a short step to interracial dating ...

[Tanniker Smith]

She split an infinitive in Goblet of Fire.

LOL!
Let's hope that's the worst of her troubles!

[CholeraJoe]

Tonks:

[Tijeras_Slim]

Lupin's a lucky wolf!

[CholeraJoe]

The young marauders. (L-R Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail)

[CholeraJoe]

Young Snape. RK you might want to re-ping the list for photos from the "Order of the Phoenix" movie.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Snivelus!

[retrokitten]

Sure!

Potter Ping! Some still shots from the Order of the Phoenix movie. Young Marauders, young Snape, etc.

[retrokitten]

Where are young Snapes eyebrows?

[r9etb]

Nope, didn't...I think some other Freepers were puzzled, too.

Only those FReepers are puzzled, who have not achieved Sarcasm Nirvana. I think it sets in for sign-on dates prior to 2004.

[r9etb]

Harry's already saved the lives of Ginny, Arthur, and Ron Weasley. If a Weasley dies, it'll be Percy, the prat.

It will be one of Fred or George, but not both.

[r9etb]

Where are young Snapes eyebrows?

Maybe he started out as a worse apparator than Ron Weasley....?

[andyssister]

I saw these pics this morning (yes I check Mugglenet first thing every morning!!)

Everybody looks great. I can't imagine this movie being under four hours. Oh, and I read that Dan and Rupert have signed on for the last two movies, but Emma is undecided.

[glaseatr]

Oh harry mole, I really need to get the eyes checked..or the mond out of the gutter.

[CholeraJoe]

Burned off in a cauldron explosion?

[Sloth]

I hope we don't find Volume 7 to be full of dangling modifiers, Comma Chaos, and Homophone Howlers

More iniquity in the Potter books -- blatant Homophone activity!

[glaseatr]

mond = mind

[Tax-chick]

Very interesting.

As I'm a woman, the actress playing Tonks doesn't do anything for me, hormone-wise, but she doesn't look too far off from the descriptions of the character.

[Tax-chick]

The Potter books so far have been blessedly free of Homophonia ... I hope this continues. How can you trust a person's plotting if she doesn't know there from they're from their?

[Sloth]

How can you trust a person's plotting if she doesn't know there from they're from their?

Your just two picky. :)

[Tax-chick]

True.

[CholeraJoe]

Until Lavender Brown hooked up with Ron, I had my concerns about her and Parvati Patil.

Wormtail might have been gay if he hadn't spent 12 years as a rat.

[Tax-chick]

Wormtail might have been gay if he hadn't spent 12 years as a rat.

That's a big if.

[CholeraJoe]

This is a picture of Susie Shinner, who plays young Lily Potter in "Order of the Phoenix."

[Tax-chick]

Yeah, looks like her.

[Tanniker Smith]

Nice choice. No complaints here.
(Oh, well, there is that acting thing. But from a looks perspective, I'm happy so far.)

[Tanniker Smith]

It will be one of Fred or George, but not both.

As I posted, one will avenge the other. The two are comic relief for the series, but with their knack for trouble, one of them is likely to buy it. The only hope that either has is if JKR thinks that the killing of one twin is too cliche.

[Tijeras_Slim]

but she doesn't look too far off from the descriptions of the character.

Not tough for a metamorphmagus.

[Tanniker Smith]

but Emma is undecided.

Oh, dear. That's the start of the trouble . . .

[Tanniker Smith]

There are also some still at the Internet Movie Database http://www.imdb.com

One of them has a young girl with long, blonde hair, but isn't credited as to who it is.

[Tax-chick]

LOL! Excellent point!

[EmilyGeiger]

Wow, perfect young snape!

[EmilyGeiger]

More iniquity in the Potter books -- blatant Homophone activity LOL!!! Very clever. ;)

[EmilyGeiger]

Could it be Loony Luna?

[WV Mountain Mama]

Oy, could you imagine the ghost one of the Weasley twins would make?!?! They would put Peeves (I think) to shame...

[WV Mountain Mama]

Probably Luna. I saw an interview with her for OotP and she was blonde and pretty cute, not like I would have imagined her.

[saveliberty]

LOL

Thanks for the ping, rK. I was so disappointed in the Prisoner of A., I am hesitant with this next movie.

[Irish Eyes]

Thanks for the ping. Looking forward to the next book.

[MacDorcha]

Look at his second post. Under his tagline. Thats part of the prophecy in HP. He's a Potterhead, making fun.

Cheers!

[CholeraJoe]

It is Evanna Lynch playing Luna Lovegood. A Potter fan since she could read, she was chosen over 13,000 other girls. She's from Ireland.

[CholeraJoe]

Here a shot of Dumbledore's Army. You can recognize most of them. Of the two young men to the left of the picture, the blond one is Zacharias Smith. No idea about the other.
