Ok.

Not a bad tagline.

Looking very good and the trialer will be at cinemas today with the film Happy Feet.

Can someone help,

I haven't seen or read anything of Harry Potter, but I get the train to work every day to Kings Cross.

What's with the Platform 9 3/4? Someone said it's something to do with Harry Potter...

It's the platform they have to take to catch the Hogwarts Express which takes them to Hogwarts.

It's hidden through a barrier between Platform 9 and 10. They sort of have to walk through it Nonchalantly without anyone noticing. Bit silly really as it is the kind of thing that would get noticed thoguh i guess it could be rationalised that there are anti muggle spells on it.

Can I just say:

Squeeeee.

Well the trailer will be viewabl on line from Monday on the Warner Bros site.

Also the The Snitch has a load of high res pics from the trailer - warning there are spoilers in the pics.

Eeeee! I think my favourite one is of the Dursley's, because Dudley is all middle-class gansta boy. Brilliant costuming.

The funny thing being that they've put a shit trolley between platforms 8 and 9 like utter twunts. No sense of fractions these days.

It's offical now, the title of book 7 has been released - it's all over the Harry Potter sites and also on the offical site.

Book 7 title is........

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Squeee!

Woo!

Damn! I just lost £5 betting it would be Harry Potter and the Psychiatrists Couch, where it's discovered that all of his adventures as a wizard were in fact delusions brought about by the trauma of seeing his parents killed by an intruder.

Actually, that would make more sense as the last book in the series wouldn't it?

Ooh, now that's a name! Much better than ''Half-Blood Prince''. Not that the name is all that important, but it does affect my excitement about the book.

I don't like the name much.

It is too lengthy, but it does create excitement within me. It sounds all dark and sinister.

Who bets Draco sacrifices himself to save Harry in the end?

I can already picture the joke cartoons. Images of Grim Reapers entering a room and saying "Hallo"

A bunch of behind the scenes clips

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 21st July.

Woooooo

Woooo and, if I may add, squeeee!

Yay!

Edit: I've just noticed that in that article it says that ''the series has spawned five blockbuster movies''. Jumping the gun a bit on Order Of The Phoenix, aren't they?

I just knew you'd do that!

Someone has to be a pathetic fangirl around here.

And someone has to be a pathetic fanboy. When I read the news my first thought was, 'Phew, at least she's not releasing it when I'm on my honeymoon'. Because, you know, waiting a week or two to read it would have put a bit of a dampener on the holiday.

New book for summer. Sounds exciting. Hallows of Death indeed.

I hope someone good dies.***

Sefi x

*** not really.

I remember thinking that it would be a fitting end if Harry died to save the world from Voldemort and some heinous plan he was setting in motion. But I doubt that would happen, it'd be a bit too depressing.
Not to mention that the style the book is written in (i forget the term, it's something omnipitence) which is where the narration follows only harry and tells the reader what he sees and his thoughts, it never shows something that Harry wasn't witness to, or remembering in his head. So If he died the narrative style would change and I doubt that would happen.

I do reckon Malfoy will die doing something good though, it would be a cliched fitting end.

Will the last chapter being called The Boy Who Died?

Personally, my money is on Snape and Neville.

Well, wasn't there a chapter in Half Blood Prince that did violate this style? It was called 'Spinners End', or something - the one when Snape made the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa.

It's called the omnipresent narrator and, while it often follows the main character, it also allows the author licence to move around the set, as it were.


That being a good example.

Just read this on Yahoo:

"Two top U.S. writers, John Irving and Stephen King, were sufficiently concerned about the fictional hero's fate to urge Rowling to spare him."

I like the idea of Stephen King reading Half-Blood Prince and getting a bit scared. He'll have forgotten what that's like.

Thats true. I'd forgotten about.


I thout it was called something slightly different when it follows just one character?
I realise my point has been somewhat nullified by what Chapman pointed out now though.

I got to Mugglenet first, but "squee" anyway! I've rather gone off the series over the past two years, but I still can't wait to see how it all ends!!

Hooray!

Just read this on Mugglenet:



I always thought I was super obsessive over things, but I would never be "upset" just because a book series ended. It's sort of nice to know there are people more obsessive than me.

I remember reading about a bunch of death threats and whatnot that Arthur Conan Doyle got after he attempted to end the Sherlock Holmes stories.

People are just weird sometimes.

It is insanity isn't it, we have known for a long time it was, erm....7? books! I also thought from the start Harry would maybe die at the end.

I don't think she'll do it though, it'd be well depressing.
Like the directors cut ending of Evil Dead 3.

Yeah, I think I read that somewhere too.

I just can't understand what makes people go that far. I mean, fair enough crying a bit at the end if it's sad and maybe feeling a slight twinge of sadness for a day or so that it's all over, but needing a helpline or sending death threats? Anybody who does do that most likely needs proper psychiatric help.

But if they had carried out thier threats then he would be dead and wouldn't beable to write anymore anyway.

HA!




How very rock and roll of you, Jo. Next thing you know she'll be chucking TVs off balconies.

^ That's great. I suspect that room will command a premium price now.

I wonder if any of the characters will get laid.

Reserved my copy today!

Is it me or is there somethng inexpressible unwholesome about this?

Not just you, Lewis. *shudder*

I'm watching it again to check how unwholesome it is.

Edit: Look at the bit where they age Draco's face! No one's should change that much in such a short space of time! It's like he's got some weird premature aging disease!

Edit2: And the other versions next to it on the page, they aren't copies of the same video but rather other edits of Harry Potter footage that people have set to that music.....frightening people.

I thought the same! Well, not the disease part, but he did grow out of the baby-faced stage very quickly.
