Wow...
Midget- What do you think I got this ring for?
Guy- I don't know. Cause your a hobbit?
{EDIT}
Did Voldemort go to Godric's Hollow alone the night he tried to kill Harry? If so, how do people know the events of that night?
On her website, JKR stated that "there IS a significant - even crucial - answer" to the following question: How and why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak? What is the significance of this?
How did Dumbledore know the details of Lord Voldemort's murder of Lily - how Lily offered to spare her life and how the charm that protects Harry was formed - if no one else was there to witness it? Was Dumbledore actually there to witness it?
Yeah... think about that.

Wikipedia has a nice article on the book. As for the cloak, James and Lily knew they were in danger, so it's easy to say that they could have set up the bank account for Harry and handed off the cloak just in case they did die. James loved getting into trouble as a student, and Lupin said that James would have wanted Harry to have the Marauder's Map. As for how Dumbledore knew how they died, he could have simply theorized that is what happened and since there was evidence pointing to it, (especially how Dumbledore only explained it to Harry AFTER he retrieved the Sorcerer's Stone) it became the only likely explanation. (Keep in mind, Dumbledore didn't know how it happened at the beginning of the 1st book. I believe McGonagall asked him and he said that he didn't know.)

But Dumbledore never told Harry about till the 5th book. Who's to say he did lie to McGonagall to protector...
It is so hard waiting on this book...
What makes it really hard is that there is a copy in the back. Just setting there on the table waiting to be catologed.... It's taunting me...

Bulbs what would happen if you stole a book and read it then posted the spoilers on random boards...

In the first book Dumbledore explained that Lily died to protect Harry and left her protection in him. Page 299 if you got the paperback copy. If you're talking about more specific details than that, I'll get back to you after I re-read book 5.

But how does he know that she died to protect him if nobody was there.
In answer to Oce I give you this-
Four years ago, Donald Parfitt, a fork-lift driver from Suffolk, was ordered to do 180 hours community service after he admitted stealing pages from Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix from the printing plant where he worked. Last year, one Aaron Lambert was jailed for 4 1/2 years for stealing copies of Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince and trying to sell them.
And more recently -
The LA Times is reporting that the US Harry Potter publisher obtained a subpoena to learn the identity of a user who allegedly posted copies of Deathly Hallows on a California website.
Scholastic said in a court filing Monday that "materials hosted on Photobucket.com's system" contain materials that infringe copyrights owned by Scholastic and J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. Photobucket.com, a News Corp. unit, is a website for sharing photos and videos on social networks such as MySpace.
The subpoena was sent to Gaia Interactive Inc. in San Jose seeking the identity of a user on gaiaonline.com, a social network, according to the filing in San Francisco federal court.
Gaia complied with the subpoena, removed the material and temporarily banned the user from the site, said Gaia spokesman Bill Danon.

I go to Gaia. Anyway, the body positions coulda given it away. Like if she were slumped over in front of where Harry was found and she had her arms out to shield him or something or something. Or maybe he simply deduced that is what had happened based on the magical effect that it gave Harry.

Snape is still a good guy. I use to be sure that harry was gonna die... now I'm not so sure.

I saw this really good argument on Facebook about Snape's not-badness, about how when Dumbledore died, his eyes were closed, when true Avada Kadavra blast the target, leaving their eyes opened in a state of shock. And for one of the three unforgivable curses to work, one has to really mean what they're doing. So Snape either had reservations and didn't do the spell properly, or he said Adava Kadavra and used a different curse, but I'd be really mad if it turned out that Dumbledore was really alive and book 6 was actually more of a complete waste of time, so I want the former option.

Rowling has said on her site that Dumbledore is definitely dead.

No Snape did kill him. Because if he didn't the Unbreakable Vow would have killed himself and Dumbledore didn't want that, he knew once he was dead and gone he'd need Snape in with the Death Eaters to 'protect' Harry....
Though I am positive Snape is a Good guy.... after what he did... I'm saying he dies... Infact -
I'll bet anyone on the board that Snape turns out to be a good guy and that he dies.
What am I betting? 50 Karma/Cookies. My 50. If you have less than 50 and want to take my bet you have to bet all of your karma. People over 50 just bet 50.
Any takers?

Oh, what the hell, karma doesn't mean anything anyway. I'll take you up on it, Bulbs. I still think JKR knows that would be a hackneyed plot choice.

Not taking, since I do believe that Snape's good. Also that he won't die. And Harry will. Because he has to. >>" I get the feeling Bulbs goes on Mugglenet.

I won't spoil anything for you guys, but I want to say I think it ended beautifully.
I do wish that some of the characters could have been spared, but they were in a war.

I do have to spoil something, so read on with caution. Of course, if you're planning on reading the book but haven't finished yet, on your own head be it for visiting this thread in the first place.
I guess Snape was good after all, even though JKR didn't handle it in the cliche way I was expecting (for starters, she revealed he was truly good only after he had died). So I'm content. I hereby relinquish 50 of my favorite karma to Bulbs. Whichever admin next reads this may feel free to carry out the transaction.

Two deaths shocked me. The book ended well, like Kuro said. I've read the whole thing twice now, a good book in all. We need a decent discussion on this when everyone has finished.

Im not happy with how it ended really... I would have much rather seen certain characters die... And I'd like to have had a bit more info between the ending and the epilogue...

Post by Kuroboom on Jul 23, 2007 5:44:02 GMT -5
I did notice a flaw with the ending, unless I misread it.
SPOILERISH BIT AHEAD?
Teddy was born the year of the Battle of Hogwarts (1998) and the epilogue happened 19 years later (2017). Why was he "snogging" someone on the Hogwarts Express when he should have been through with it the year prior? (Or possibly the year before that)

If Victoire (Fleur and Bill's daughter) was still enrolled at Hogwarts, it would make sense for him to come see her off. Especially if there was something goin' on there.
