Harry Potter Discussions

I do...you make a good point. Evil has to be stopped! But for the series, I think its given a good platform about a boy who is thrown into this situation and how that can relate to anyone really. It's not going to be easy. Thanks for refreshing me on the Hitler story, now I remember.

I guess I can mention this now. The thing with Hitler was that he can't be the only one to blame for the crimes against humanity that he commited. You also have to look at the society at which he was in that allowed him to do what he did. He wasn't the only one giving orders to "cleanse the German race", you have to take into account the people who actually did the killing. But he takes all the blame for being the poster boy for it all.

As for HP, its the same thing. Voldemort is not the only bad guy guy. The Death Eaters are just as responisble for their crimes as Voldy. Although JKR didn't say the real world and the wizard world events influence each other...wait...I think she did say that...can't remember. But that can further prove my point!

just a side question - how fast did you read the potter books

i remember in the newspaper there were people reading it in a day. i think that is stupid because i like things like that to last ( by in a day i mean 1 day after release day)

i would read about 2 or 3 chapters a day wen the 5th a 6th book came out

For the 4th one, a friend and I stayed up til 12:00 midnight and were 3rd in line to get the book, around 12:02ish. he had it finished by 10:00 that morning. lol i just read the first chapter and wentt o bed and woke up at 10 and he was like im done it was good

MA: Do they feed each other, the Muggle and wizarding wars?

JKR: Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Mmm.

Sorry it took awhile to find this.

[Mexican Coke]

Thanks for looking that up, Blaw!

I remember her saying that....but it was very cryptic.

[Blaw]

Isn't everything she says cryptic?! haha

Don't mention it was fun reading the Emerson/Anelli interview with her again. She talks about many of the things we have.

[Mexican Coke]

I know, shes's so schmart!

What esle did she talk about....I don't want this thread to die!

[Blaw]

Well they interviewed her right after reading book six. So its all the big questions, RAB, Horcruxes, Snape and Dumbledore, a little shipping. Stuff like that.

Don't worry I won't let this thread die. Even if it's only me and you talking.

[Mexican Coke]

Where in the horcri are all the HP fans? I thought this thread would be a hot potato!

[Blaw]

It was earlier but slowed down. 10 pages in two days, thats not bad.

[Mexican Coke]

Well, it was great talking to you with this! I hope you keep posting here; I know I will! Great discussion! But its nearly midnight, and I'm pooped! G'night, Blaw! You really do rock! EXALT YOU! If I have anymore questions, I'll letcha know.

[Blaw]

Thanks Matt it was great talking with you. I've never really talked about Harry Potter hard core with anyone before. And an exalt to you! Thank you.

Good night

*waits for inevitable smiting

[Blaw]
