<p>Up until July 21, ill be re-re-re-reading the Harry Potters. When the day comes I'll probably be crying and chugging down butterbeers like Winky. Who else is celebrating? :) </p>
<p>My views on important issues:
Snape- good
Voldy- going to die
Ron + Hermione- together (there are hints everywhere in the books!)
Harry- going to die?
Lupin- going to die (he is slowly getting more tired and worn out)
Wormtail- going to die (just after he repays Harry though)
Dumbledore- dead (i didn't want to accept it, but JKR said, so...)</p>
<p>i think there is a possibility. When Snape cast Avada Kedavara on Dumbledore, his body was lifted up and thrown off the tower. AK doesn't do that. Also, Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard (aside from Voldy) and he easily could have found a away to weaken the curse or just to move himself.
I agree that it would be kind of stupid for Dumbledore to pull a Gandalf, and i doubt he will. JKR said specifically that he is 100% dead. Except in our hearts :)</p>
<p>I personally dont see anything gray in Snape. When Harry looks into the Pensieve, he sees Snape's childhood; Snape was not a bad person to begin with, but he had a troubled home life and an even worse school life. Because of this, he developed a nasty personality, but he isn't actually bad. He's rude to Harry & Co. because he's constantly reminded of his hand in the deaths of Harry's parents. He can't escape from that guilt, which is why it torments him, and causes him to treat Harry like crap.</p>
<p>All I know is that I'm completely avoiding the internet from July 21st to the second I get done reading the last book since someone completely spoiled the next to last one for me because they just had to spill the news about Dumbledore <em>makes mean face</em></p>
<p>lol I am going to try to read book 7 slowly, like a chapter a day or something, so i can savor it. I will have to avoid all contact with TV, newspapers, the internet, etc. Maybe I'll move to a cave....</p>
<p>someone commited suicide because he went on the internet and found out that "SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE LOL"...so yeah, I think I'll swear off the Internet until I finish the book</p>
<p>Snape- pregnant with voldy's baby
Voldy- wants an abortion but snape wants to have the child
Ron + Hermione- hopefully they die...
Harry- dies because he's a pansy who thinks the power of "love" will get him out of an ass kicking at voldy's hands
Lupin- going to die...no one likes him anyway
Wormtail- dies after torture
Dumbledore- comes back to life and falls in love with professor mcgonagall</p>
<p>god save us if my predictions are correct...</p>
<p>Yay! I love Harry Potter! I've been reading it since second grade, and I love it. (I'm going to be a junior next year.)</p>
<p>I live in a relatively small town, and the night before the book comes out they close the entire block and have a party that a ton of little kids and their families come to. I'm going to volunteer and help out with activities and organizational-thingys with this event. I'm so excited!</p>
<p>Then at midnight, I will promptly seize my book, speed home, and lock myself in my room where I will spend approximately eight hours reading. I will prepare sustenance before I leave for the festivities so that I won't have to waste any time.</p>
