Harry Potter and the Last Book (Now with Discussion of Books 1-6!!)

Well he still didn't do the music for HP GoF.

I frankly am waiting in great earnest for the seventh book to come out. I greatly enjoyed the sixth book, and can't wait to see how it all ends. I have some theories, but i'll wait for more theoretical discussion to voice them.

As for the movies, i'm pleased with the latest installment, more so even than the book in some places. This director looks like a good choice, but if he does a ruddy job of number five, or doesn't continue for one reason or another, i'd like to see Terry Gilliam in the director's chair. I'm curious to see what he'd do with the serise, and i have faith in his abilities.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

I thought one of the Horcruxes was Nagini the snake.

Spoiler:

I figured it was Regulus Black (Sirius' brother) as soon as i read it. Apperantly J.K. has said that is him, but i like to think i figured it out on my own.

An aquaitence of mine has a theory:

It's Frankenstien:

He thinks that Dumbledore never died, that it was in fact Peter Petigrew. This being that he reasons Snape using the controlling curse on Petigrew. At the beginning, Petigrew was with Snape and seemed to be his servent. With the controlling curse, he was told to act just like Dumbledore and he used the Polyjuice potion. Not only that but when the tower scene happened, Dumbledore was pleading because when he was around Snape, he was normal. And that is why Dumbledore begged for his life.

Spoiler:

just remember that Dumbledore never actually pleaded for his life. He said "Severus, please." and that was it. That could mean any number of things, like it was an elaborate plan, and Dumbledore was confident in Harry's ability to carry on on his own.

Assuming that the only people to enter the cave besides Riddle and R.A.B., were Harry and Dumbledore, how could Pettigrew, or Snape controlling him, know how to get to the horcrux? Considering that it has been said that the only person that was thought to be more powerful than Riddle, at the peak of his power, was Dumbledore. I would think that no one would have been able to get past those protections besides Dumbledore. If it had to be Dumbledore in the cave with Harry and seeing as how they never left each others sight since they left the Castle, how could it have been Pettigrew? I don't think that theory makes much sense.

Spoiler:

but remember that Snape is known for logic, as shown by his contribution to the protection of the Philosipher's stone in the first book. The challange that Voldemort had set up in the caves for them was in essence the same a Snapes challange when going for the philosipher's stone, only harder because of it's obvious simplicity. I think Snape would have been able to figure it out.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Right, right i even thought of the polyjuice thing.

Spoiler:

i figured that seeing as how they had a freaking funeral for him like an entire day after his death, that it wasn't polyjuice potion

As i was composing my above post, that point totally slipped my mind.

I'm totally with you now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah same thing happened to m-- oh, oh.......... OH, YOU'RE JOKING AREN'T YOU, OH, heh heh heh, that's a good one

But we need to take into account that the vow was made at the beginning of the year. Snape could've made the vow to avoid suspicion in the eyes of the Death Eaters, as i remember, he was reluctant to go through with it. The vow was to be executed at the end of the year. Snape and Dumbledore had a whole year to go over what would happen, and how they could make this work for the Order.

A possibility.

How ya doing, buddy?
