Hmmm... Well, you know, the best theory I know about is the Regulous one, though it somehow seems too obvious and well, at the same time I can't see anyone else being RAB... Can you?

I checked wikipedia for the Black family tree,

Black Family Tree

They say A. could be either Alphard or Arcturus. What do you think? Is it something you've been thinking of?

You know what? You're quite evil! Why on Earth would a HP fan want him dead? I mean, it's alarming, lol, you're nuts, aren't you?

Laughing Laughing Laughing I've already told you I'd prefer her to kill HP since I hate it when others try to continue the story of another author. I mean, get your own idea, for crying out loud. If she killed him, her story would be forever live and can't be continued. And it'd be one of the best of the bunch. Cool You see, killing him is the only solution. Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

But anyway, I really want to see how Harry destroys the Horcruxes... I think the seventh book will be the best one, we'll see the resolution to all the mysteries and I reckon I'll cry like mad when I finish that book, just imagine: no more Harry, no more Hermione or Ron, no more Luna, no more Quidditch, no more Hagrid, no more McGonagall or even Snape!! Crying or Very sad

Same here. I can't wait!!!! I can't believe 2006 is almost over. We have two more months to go and then 6 more months in 2007, then bam, the 7th HP book. However, it also means the end of the journey. Crying or Very sad

I've read the whole series over and over. Last time I read her interview, she said something about the 1st book contains all the important information of what we need to know about HP's life. I've re-read that book; unfortunately, I couldn't find anything new beside what I've already known Crying or Very sad . Have you given it a try?

By the way, Simpyblessedwithlove, in what house would you fit the best? Have you ever thought about that? And what character are you more close to, I mean which one is more like you?

I must go now. Have a nice day everybody!!!!

Cristi Wink

Razz I have never thought of this. I think I'm quite old for it. I mean, I'm already done with college, and this series is about little kids' lives. Nevertheless, I think I would like to be Tonks if I had to choose. I feel related to her more than other characters. I love her character. I was so sad when she was sad and lost. I knew she was in love with someone, but I didn't know that person would be Lupin.

What about you? Wink

Because they did read the books!!! For who-ever's sake, don't you see that you can't have an opinion of something if you actually don't know anything about it???

Anyway, sorry Simplyblessedwithlove for not answering to you... I'm really glad you read the books, so we can talk about them nicely.

See you!

Cristi

Hi!!!! Very Happy

Yeah, Jo said it!!! Woooo hooo! But I must say that the title just makes us have more doubts, doesn't it? lol It's quite confusing, I really don't get where does Deathy Hallows come from... Hmmm...

By the way, check out this pages
www.mugglenet.com, www.veritaserum.com, www.jkrowling.co.uk

Umm...By the way, in french it's going to be something like "Harry Potter et les saints mortuaires/mortels" (http://www.mugglenet.com/app/category/show/Cool But I bet it's still confusing... Confused

So, have a nice day you guys!! Wink

Thanks, Cristi. I was about to say I didn't know the title of the 7th Harry Potter in French. How did you find it out if I may ask?

hi Lennye nice to see you here. I also read some of Harry Potter books (is it called the goblet of fire?) but I don't like it. It's to childish in my opinion.

Have you done any Harry Potter pictures with photoshop, Cristi? I'm thinking of doing one when the 7th book comes out. I'll combine seven covers to make it as a poster for my lil nephew.
