I don't argue the theory or the quote. I just want to state that when Dumbledore was telling Harry this, he agreed with him that in the end, one of them has to die. I don't think Dumbledore would tell Harry that he would have to die but why not tell the truth? Maybe I'm just being stupid but I don't know what to think anymore. *sigh* I wish the next book would come out already.
*pulls hair in frustration*

LOL yeah I think we ALL wish the next book would come out. I really hope I am totally wrong with my theory. It does make me wonder how they are going to take the story through 2 books. Voldemort is back, Harry supposedly knows all about the prophesy... so are the next two books just basically going to be about them fighting Voldemort or are there going to be other villans introduced? And although the Death Eaters are in prison we know they are going to break out... so what will happen with Draco Malfoy? Do you think he will continue to go to Hogwarts? Ha, I could go on forever speculating... I really hope the 6th book comes out soon!

Remember that the next part of the prophecy is "and either shall die at the hand of the other." (or something like that) This leads me to believe that neither can have a life while both are alive, but that one of them must kill the other in order to have a life. I don't think that both have to die, but reasonably they both could. I don't think she'd do that to us though!

<<First of all, I just want to say that I feel like a nut for not knowing that this thread existed. Secondly, I want to say THANK YOU to all of you.>>

Now...I took the prophecy to mean that they(Harry and Voldie) can have lives BUT only Harry can kill Voldie and vice versa. Also that when one of them dies, so shall the other. Their lives are connected no matter how much we don't want to think about that. It would also explain why she(Rowling) said there will be no more Harry Potter books after Book 7.

That's pretty screwed up if she ends up killing him off after the 7th book. I would not be happy. I think it's safe to say that most of us would be pretty p/o'd if that happened.

Now I'm a bad girl b/c I tend to look at the final chapter before I start reading the book. I have made myself swear up and down that I wouldn't do that in Book 7 but already I can hear the little demon on my shoulder telling me that it's o.k. to peek.

jk's site is now decorated for christmas. it looks cute, but nothing really important.

heres hoping we get a christmas present (preferably when the book will be released)

Ooooooh! That would be great! Perhaps she'll open it up for Christmas Day.

That's cool that C.S. Lewis is one of Rowling's favorite authors. Did you guys know they're making Chronicles of Narnia into a movie right now? They're filming Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe in Prague right now (I think). I found these really cool pics from the movie. Gets me soooo excited! http://www.darkhorizons.com/news04/041130a.php

??? What about the already-made Narnia movies? They're from...BBC maybe? I think those are great, so I don't see why they need to make new ones.

Yeah, there is a BBC version, but it's from like the 70s. They were pretty good, but this is going to be amazing. Disney is involved and so far, everyone is saying it's going to be epic. ANyway, do you remember Aslan in the books? They just decided who is going to be his voice in the movie - Brian Cox. I think he was in Bourne Supremacy.

We used to rent the animated ones from the Library on LaserDisc. How I loved those. You cannot believe how disappointed I was in Turkish Delight, though, when I tasted it for the first time in London. I might like it now, but then it was such a huge letdown!

Getting back on topic (no offense to anyone); JKR has posted some updates to her website. New FAQ poll is up. As are a few new answered questions.

Enjoy!

D'OH!!!

WHY, OH WHY, DID JK HAVE TO UPDATE HER SITE NOW??!!:(

I don't have time to sit around and think about the answers (but I do admit that I read them all, and spent a few minutes debating). I know the second thing I'm doing after finals on Thursday;)

JKR updated her site again today, very slightly. If you don't catch it, go to The Leaky Cauldron to see what it is. Very intriguing change!!!

I know JK Rowling answers this question on her website, but Crookshanks is half Kneazle....she said he couldn't be an Animagus...
