The all important question. More important than how Harry defeats Voldemort. More important than Snape’s loyalties. Even more important than who ends up together.

Okay. I realize with this one, I’m about to delve deep into a level of dark fannishness I hoped I’d never see. It makes me feel better, and should do the same for you, to know that I don’t do it out of pure fannish stupidity. I have not lost my mind (not over this, anyway), and I promise I have an actual REASON for putting forth the terrible words ( Read more... )

And the final battle, of course. This particular theory assumes Harry survives, of course. For the purposes of this theory, we will completely ignore the possibility of Rowling deciding make SURE she’ll never write another Harry Potter book in the only foolproof way. Also, this theory is about Harry only, I won’t be musing on the lives of anyone ( Read more... )

NO this is not a continuation of the ship theory from day one. People, LET IT GO. It isn’t going to happen. Not by a long shot, and not even if Rowling acknowledged homosexuality in her books.

( However, that leaves one glaring question. )

As in relationships. I thought I'd get this one out of the way, since fandom is overly concerned with who does and does not end up together.

This post runs down my opinions on who ought not to be together, those couples I hope get together, and what I think is actually likely to happen.

While re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince last night, I had a flash of intuition. I figured out something I'm fairly sure is going to be important in Deathly Hallows. I was going to use it as one of my posted theories in the upcoming week ( Read more... )

Beginning Sunday, in celebration and anticipation of Deathly Hallows, I will post one theory a day concerning what I think might happen until Saturday ( Read more... )

Okay, this is regarding some rather disturbing realizations I've had about certain things in Carey's work in the Kushiel books. Not that I don't love them still, but this is giving me pause.
