Of course, if he does not survive he can join Nearly Headless Nick as a

One would hope that Ms. Rowling will keep the deaths to no more
than one or two.

Here's what just struck me; there was such a big hoopla about
someone dying in Book 4, that people neglected to remember that in
book 1, Prof. Quirrell died, Book 2 it was Tom Riddle. Book
3...Hmmm...that was an 'in-between' book I think; no deaths that I can
recall (please correct). Then in Book 4 we had Cedric Diggory (just
introduced; we got to know him but it wasn't quite as upsetting) and
then in Book 5, Sirius. Gad, I don't think I could take it if Ron
and/or Hermione died.

Well, I sincerely doubt it will be Hermione or Cho Chang. Hermione
is part of the 'triangle' and Cho is still grieving for Cedric. If it
were up to me, I'd guess either ("Naked Quidditch" aside) Ginny or
Luna. Either would balance Harry out nicely, Ginny with her
down-to-earth attitude that's developing or Luna with her relaxed
attitude on life.

Harry wants to be an Auror, and I woudn't be surprised if he became
their head at some point, with Ron at his side.

It will be interesting to see how well the partnership of Harry,
Ron and Hermione survive after Book 7.

Well... We really have no proof of that. For all we know, Quirrell

Not really. Remember, Riddle was really just a "memory" of Voldemort's
16-year-old self, implanted into that diary.

Not only that, but I have a strong suspicion that Hermione and Ron will
end up being a couple.

Erm, no it doesn't specifically state it but for all intents and
purposes, he might as well be...unless....<gets a nasty thought>...
Quirrell's 'consciousness' has been kept in the background (like
Ande'sha in the Valdemar books) and in book 7, he regains control of
his body, realizes how 'bad' he was and destroys Voldemort by
committing suicide in some horrible fashion.

Though book 5 pretty much points to Harry as being the one, we know
nothing of Quirrell. Was he born towards the end of the 7th month?
He's certainly been 'marked' by Voldemort.

And it would possibly explain why Harry couldn't see the Thestrals
until his 5th year. Now there's a thought...

Nope, I think Neville will become her boyfriend, they seem to be

My bet is on Ginny.

No, Dumbledore said as much to Harry at the end of book one
that Quirrell died after Voldemort left him.

I had the impression that Voldemort created a new body for
himself at the end of book 4? Or am I mistaken here?

But Harry did not see Quirrell die. He was already unconscious
by the time Dumbledore arrived to rescue him and I had the im-
pression that you actually had to see somebody die to see the
Thestrals, not simply having somebody you know die near you.

   > >>But of course!

I suppose we will never see that happen, if it does. Presuma-
bly Harry will meet Voldemort by the end of book seven for the
last time. Assuming that he makes the grades to be accepted as
Auror trainee, he still has three more years of study to do,
before he can even start working as one, and they will not ma-
ke him chief Auror right away

Personally, I think that Hermione is going to end up Minister
of Magic at some point in time. She has the mind, and the dri-
ve to survive in politics. She will come to realise that the
only way to help the house elves is not by setting them free,
but by forcing their masters to treat them decently, and for
that she needs to become a politician

The question is, of course, if Harry surives book seven...

He certainly did, using bone from his (Voldie's) father's grave,
Wormtail's hand and Harry's Blood, which also gave him an In past

What I find really cool is that Gary Oldman gets to play Sirius
Black, woohoo! And Lupin is played by the same actor who played that
obnoxious king in Dragonheart and the snotty bad guy in Dinotopia. It
will be interesting to see these gentleman (whom I've associated as
bad guys) play good guys for a change.

Now here's something; Snape (played by Alan Rickman) hasn't really
come off as being as much of a jerk in the movies as he has in the
books. I hope that he really changes his tune in this movie.

"The next time you think you have an excuse why God can't use you, consider the following:
Noah was a drunkard, Abraham was too old, Isaac was a daydreamer, Jacob was a liar,
Leah was ugly, Joseph was abused, Moses was a murderer, Gideon was afraid, Samson had
long hair, Rahab was a prostitute, Timothy was too young, David had an illicit affair,
Elijah was suicidal, Isaiah preached naked, Job was bankrupt, John the Baptist ran around
in a loin cloth, Peter was hot-tempered, John was self-righteous.

The disciples fell asleep while praying, Martha fretted about everything, Mary Magadalene
was demon-possessed, the boy with the fish and five rolls of bread was too obscure,
the Samaritan woman was divorced more than once, Zacchaeus was too small, Paul was too religious,
and Lazarus was dead.

No more excuses!"
