Ooooo -- creepy.

 

[DOG LIPS]

DAMMIT!! They turned down my idea for "Harry Potter and the Puberty Monster".

 

[StorminNorman]

I dont care what it is called as long as it is better than HBP .

 

[The Lizard]

I thought Half-Blood Prince was OK, although not as good as Order of the Phoenix.

The one thing about the Potter books that always annoys me is the end part where all this expositionary dialogue goes on and on to explain what's actually been happening previously in the story. This sort of thing is neccessary in a novel of course, but it just sort of bogs down the endings of the books for me.

 

[Erzengel]

I thought it was Harry Potter and the Bearded Clam

i think everyone has worked out [BLACKOUT]snape is the hero[/BLACKOUT]
and my big theory is that [BLACKOUT]harry is one of the horcruxes mentioned in book 6- remember the book in CofS was one and they said a snake was one. so that means he will have to kill himself in the end to kill voldemort. voldemort put a piece of himself in harry that's why he can speak to snakes and has the same wand[/BLACKOUT]
so what did you think of my idea?t:

 

[SapphirePrima]

OKay now when is the release date?

 

[OverMyHead]

So what did you think of my idea?

I've heard the Harry is a horcrux theory before, and it doesn't make sense to me. Voldemort tried to use Avada Kadavra on Harry, this is canon, Moody confirmed it in Book 4, Rowling confirmed it. Why would Voldemort create a horcrux then try to Avada Kadavra it?

Second the prophecy, which Voldemort clearly puts a lot of stock into as Dumbledore stresses during books 5 and 6, "Neither can live while the other survives". Why would Voldemort put a horcrux into something that he knows will constantly try to kill him and vice versa?

Third, I hear people make the argument that Voldemort did it following the reflection of Avada Kadavra...but we have seen Avada Kadavra in action several times. It kills instantly. There is no chance to do a complicated spell like making a horcrux.

Fourth and finally, it seems Voldemort had been working on creating 7 Horcruxes since his fifth year in school, he entered school in the 1940s, the books take place in the 1990s. I really doubt he waited 50 some odd years to make his 7th horcrux.

The theory just doesn't add up.

[blackout] Hallows = Bleach[/blackout]

Spoiler

Hallows = Godric's Hallows, where Harry's parents lived?

 

[Matt]

OKay now when is the release date?

Summer 2007 is the tentative release and this seems to confirm it as she released Half-Blood Prince and Order of the Phoenix about six months prior to release.

The books are usually released on a saturday so, 07/07/07 which is a saturday is a possibility as Rowling has stressed the magical importance of the number 7 in book 6, and it is the 7th book.

Another possibility is Harry's birthday, July 31st...although this is a tuesday.

[blackout] Guess what?[/blackout]

I never read the book and that's what the title reminds me of.

 

[Fanticon]

its not a bad title...it'll do.

Good point.


And as far as titles go, this is a lot better than "The Phantom Menace" or "Attack of the Clones" - that's for damn sure.

i always thought the reason he was 'defeated' by harry was because he split his soul into so many pieces before long he could not take any more and lost physical form. i'd could be said he waited so long because splitting yourself is a lot to recover from.
as for the prophecy i'd ask when it was created?
maybe he thought destroying the horcrux would release part of his being- but that is easy to argue against. you make a lot of good points- but this is a magical world and like science fiction everything can be talked out of it.
i don't think harry will survive this book
i don't think there is anything special about him
you still don't explain why harry has voldemorts traits and i think the horcrux idea works for that.
he's marked for a reason- maybe the snake is marked too, because how many snakes in the world are there to look through to find voldemorts horcrux.

Hallows = Godric's Hallows, where Harry's parents lived?

I have always wondered if the Godric in Godric's Hallows was Gryffindor. It would explain the sword.

 

[*xmenfan*]

I personally do not like the title.

When would Voldemort of had time to make Harry a horcrux though? Right before he tried to kill Harry, or after when the spell backfired and near killed him? Why would he of made Harry a horcrux just to kill him shortly after?

That being said, Harry probably won't make it through Book 7 alive, since he has had no training whatsoever and should be entirely outmatched by a Dark Lord. Perhaps the only way for Harry to defeat himself is to sacrifice himself.

You could really use a re-read of the series.

Everyone from Voldemort to Dumbledore to Rowling has acknowledged the reason Avada Kadavra was deflected was because Lily Potter sacrificed herself to put a protection on Harry. Not because he split his soul too many times or anything like that.

as for the prophecy i'd ask when it was created?

About a year before James and Lily died, so, 1978?

maybe he thought destroying the horcrux would release part of his being- but that is easy to argue against. you make a lot of good points- but this is a magical world and like science fiction everything can be talked out of it.

Dumbledore explains it in book 2. I'm too lazy to dig out book 2 and explain it to you.

he's marked for a reason- maybe the snake is marked too, because how many snakes in the world are there to look through to find voldemorts horcrux.

The Snake is Voldemort's pet, Nagini. That is why he is a horcrux.

I think Harry has a 50/50 chance.

If Harry dies, I theorize it is because of the "glimmer of triumph" in Dumbledore's eyes when Harry reveals Voldemort used Harry's blood to recreate his body. I think if Harry dies, so does Voldemort.

Although, to say Harry is not remarkable is wrong. His field experience more than makes up for his lack of booksmarts.

However, if he is too survive, it will be because Snape betrays Voldemort and sacrifices himself.

I agree with everything you said, though I do think that his experience alone is not good enough without some actual training from Moody or Kingsley or something. Harry is experienced, and has a knack for surviving, but to actually defeat Voldemort, he doesn't have the spells right now.
