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

I remember having this same hypothetical discussion about John Williams and whether he'd die before Episode III or the next Harry Potter. I for one find it a pointless thing to ask. What would happen? People would grieve. Then they would move on. Just like every other death for every single other person on the planet. We don't what-if them, do we?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dear God, this spoiler tagging is killing me.

Oh, and Nagini's not in the game anymore. Dumbledore says "I think we can rule out Nagini" right before their last adventure.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Exactly, and in the off-chance that Draco succeeded in his task, Voldemort would have a formidable new Death Eater in the ranks. He couldn't lose.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'd argue against that. Usually whatever's behind the door is something to make fans whet their pants with excitement. I think it's just a fun thing for us to do while waiting for the next book. It's less painful than tiny clues.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm not buying it. Jo isn't exactly the queen of consistency when it comes to minor things only rabid fans would notice - such as the physics of the Avada Kedavra curse. After all, Apparition is sometimes signalled by a small pop, others a loud crack and presumably often a small explosion.

I'm personally more interested in finding out what it was that Dumbledore re-lived when he drank the green potion. Jo said in the Mugglenet/Leaky Cauldron interview that Dumbledore's past is part of the final book.

I was speaking idiomatically.
