If he was smart he collected off the interest

UGH!!! i HATE HATE HATE her, i mean, i'd like to know how she ended up, but that women was like the epitome of evil, (besides voldemort and the death eaters, but to me, she was just as good as)

With Harry, Ron, and Hermione revolutionizing the Ministry, Umbridge is probably retired early to save her the task of being acting bludger at the World Cups.

I wonder what job Ginny got? She doesn't strike me as the type to be a homemaker like Molly.

If she still has a job within the ministry, then I think Umbridge will be demoted to something like Magical Cat Inspector, since she seems to have a real liking for cats. Can't you just see her as a crazy old cat lady?

I think Ginny may work with the Aurors, specifically working with jinxed objects since she experienced that with Tom Riddle's diary.

I watched the interview with JKR on Thursday and Friday and she said that she would have Ron & Harry be Aurors and 'clean up' the department and Hermoine would work like in the Ministry's "rules & regulations" (she gave an exact term but I cannot think of it for the life of me right now).

She also said that Hogwarts headmaster/mistriss would be someone new (during the epilogue portion of the book).

The conclusion of the interview will be on Dateline NBC on Sunday, it's 2 hours, all devoted to HP.

Just finished watching an interview on NBC with J.K. Rowling. She stated that Harry and Ron would eventually completely revamp the Auror Department at the Mininstry of Magic with Harry as its head. Rowling also said she saw Hermoine working in the Dept. of Law Enforcement at the Ministry.

I am pretty sure they will post the video, since the have posted the past ones.

AGDee 07-29-2007 09:54 PM

I sure hope they post it. I meant to tape it and forgot.

I took my little sisters to see the movie today and boy was it different watching this movie again, after having read book 7. When I saw Mad-Eye, Lupin, Tonks and Fred I was like "damn it y'all die in book 7". Then with Voldemort I was actually picturing the scene when Harry essentially kills him. It was like having a different perspective on the movie after having read book 7, does that make sense?

Interesting read...

Daniel Radcliffe Talks 'Deathly Hallows'

I could have swore someone asked a question re: Dumbledore's "look of triumph" after Harry returned from the GoF maze further up thread. Because there was this:

Quote:

Any other surprising bits of closure for you?
Another thing has confused me for so long. It was in the fourth film script, and it was in the book as well, of course. When we rehearsed the scene, it was the scene in which Harry had come back from the maze, and his blood has gone into Voldemort and so on. I could never understand why there was a line in the book that said, Dumbledore looked at the scar on Harry's arm with — I think the phrase is something like, He looked at it with something close to triumph in his eyes. I've never understood that. I could never get it. No one could. No one knew. And of course, it turns out it's because Dumbledore realized that as well as Voldemort being inside Harry, Harry's blood was now inside Voldemort. Therefore his mother Lily's blood was also inside Voldemort, which obviously plays a huge part in [Deathly Hallows]. That explained a lot to me.

I want to know if things are weird with Emma and Rupert knowing that they're gonna have to kiss in the distant future. ;)

I don't but after reading the whole series ten million times, sometimes I hunger for more and I'm afraid to venture into the world of fan fiction for fear of cat porn.
I wish GDIs could see us like this-we're all supremely nerdy at heart. We really are. I love it!

There is some great fan fiction out there....and some not so great...

For novel length fanfiction go to Schnoogle@FanFiction Alley a great gateway to some really good fiction.

Trouble In Paradise/Paradise Lost by AngieJ is great...this is a classic and fannon....
The Paradigm Of Uncertainty/The Show that Never Ends (I think there may be more) by Lori is great (again another classic)
Slytherin Rising Series by JL Matthews is great, original/fannon tell the cannon HP stories from a slytherin original character's perspective, here is a bit of a twist, Ginny (Ginerva :D) is in Slytherin. JL stopped writing for a bit, but is back on the horse and is in Year 4. I have stopped reading the series cause I want to read all 7 years in big swoop, but that could take years. So I call it pacing now.
Cassandra Claire had a great HP story out there, but she took it down off the internet after her original fiction was published.

These are all "classic" HP FF, so for new stuff you would have to look around FanFic alley....I can not recommend new writers.

christiangirl 07-30-2007 06:11 AM

It's happening. The HP spinoffs are coming out of the darkness...I can see the whites of their authors' eyes in my foeglass. :mad: We all knew it would happen, but I don't think I expected it this soon. I don't think I want to read it, it might make me want to throw something.
