Harry Potter Discussions

[thenumb3rs]

Well.. Since this is related to Harry Potter..slightly, I was wondering if anyone could help me.
Uh.. my laptop won't let me go on www.mugglenet.com or www.mugglecast.com. I've tried going on both sites on the desktop as well and still nothing happens. I've checked Internet Options for anything blocking it and there's nothing there blocking it. I've tried getting on the site with regular Internet Explorer and Moxilla and it's the same deal. On Moxilla it keeps saying the server on Mugglenet is taking to long to respond... any ideas on what's happening? Is it the same for you?

[Zoso the Rock God]

It is mozilla not moxilla

[大杂烩]

i can get on mugglenet just fine but when i click your link to mugglecast i get "this website is temporarily unavailable" but when i type in "mugglecast.com" i get: "http://www.mugglenet.com/mugglecast/"

so i guess there isnt an actual mugglecast.com, it's just part of mugglenet.

[Zoso the Rock God]

I have heard of muggle.net real popular

[thenumb3rs]

Sorry, bad habit, I always call it Moxilla.

fu-lin-yoo:Oops, yeah, mugglecast.com. I tried both types, w/ the www. and without and it still doesn't work.

This is really frusterating... Mugglenet's like.. my main page I always go there...

If Harry dies, I'm going to bawl my eyes out for days...I won't be able to go to work or school...I'll just sit in my room curled up in a little ball Then I'd immerse myself in fan fiction where Harry is still alive ;D

Topic 7: Why do you think Lily was given the chance to live by Voldemort? Who asked Voldemort to and why?

Here is an excert from the leakymug interview with JKR, some not related but still interesting. Thanks thenumb3rs!

ES: This is one of my burning questions since the third book - why did Voldemort offer Lily so many chances to live? Would he actually have let her live?

JKR: Mhm.

ES: Why?

JKR: [silence] Can't tell you. But he did offer; you're absolutely right. Don't you want to ask me why James's death didn't protect Lily and Harry? There's your answer - you've just answered your own question - because she could have lived - and chose to die. James was going to be killed anyway. Do you see what I mean? I'm not saying James wasn't ready to; he died trying to protect his family, but he was going to be murdered anyway. He had no - he wasn't given a choice, so he rushed into it in a kind of animal way. I think there are distinctions in courage. James was immensely brave. But the caliber of Lily's bravery was, I think in this instance, higher because she could have saved herself. Now any mother, any normal mother would have done what Lily did. So in that sense, her courage too was of an animal quality but she was given time to choose. James wasn't. It's like an intruder entering your house, isn't it? You would instinctively rush them. But if in cold blood you were told, "Get out of the way," you know, what would you do? I mean, I don't think any mother would stand aside from their child. But does that answer it? She did very consciously lay down her life. She had a clear choice.

ES: And James didn't.

JKR: Did he clearly die to try and protect Harry specifically given a clear choice? No. It's a subtle distinction and there's slightly more to it than that but that's most of the answer.

MA: Did she know anything about the possible effect of standing in front of Harry?

JKR: No - because as I've tried to make clear in the series, it never happened before. No one ever survived before. And no one, therefore, knew that could happen.

MA: So no one - Voldemort or anyone using Avada Kedavra - ever gave someone a choice and then they took that option [to die] -

JKR: They may have been given a choice, but not in that particular way.

Aw me too daughterofdharma, me too.

I've thought about the topic a bit, so I'll wait for a few people to post what they think.
