Harry Potter

Well, I just finished this book (having read it immediately after reading OotP for the first time), and holy shit did I love it. This is my favorite HP book, definitely. (And I'm glad to be caught up with the books for once, so I can actually participate in internet discussions without future books being spoiled for me.) I've hidden behind a cut ( Read more... )

One Big Happy Weasley Family.

AKA when people ship Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione. Because then everyone is all together and happy in one big Weasley family.

It's a commonly used acronym in the HP fandom, and it stands for One Big Happy Weasley Family, usually by those in support of both Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny.

When I started reading the first bullet, I thought you'd just copied my rant about HBP :P.

I thought the 'Spider-man' thing was kind of lame, too. Your theory for the next book makes a lot of sense, but I want Harry to keep living, too! However, I remember reading back around book 4 maybe that Rowling was going to keep it at 7 books (minus all the spinoff/tie-in stuff), and maybe that's why. Kind of like how before matrix 3 came out everyone was all, 'so, more movies?' and the actors were all, 'no...don't think so' and apparently a lot of the characters die and stuff (never saw it).

I'm pretty sure Snape will turn out to be one of the "good guys" in the end. If he doesn't, I will be pretty angry. I mean, he's an ass, but making Harry correct about his prejudiced assumptions would just be the wrong way to go.

The R.A.B./locket thing has already been solved, and while I won't post it here, you could easily spoil it for yourself by reading the thread on the board. Though, it's not very hard to figure out, especially since you've read OotP recently.

Yeah, I've been rooting for Ginny the whole time too, and while I was pretty sure it would happen at some point, it was still good to see.

And...there's no way Neville, Luna, and Ginny are going back to being minor characters in book 7.

The Spiderman thing seemed really perfunctory to me, like Rowling was all, "Oh yeah, this is how it always goes, okay, break up with her for no very good reason."

Snape has to be good. HAS TO. Otherwise what message is Rowling putting out to the kiddies, eh? "Oh, don't trust people, don't give them a second chance, they'll turn around and kill you." It's not that I would mind if he were evil, I just don't think Rowling would put out that message.
