I would ask what the Dursleys are up to, and what Dudley saw/felt/remembered when he was attacked by the Dementor.

He said it in a very round about way, but yeah I think he was putting the Elder wand back w/ Dumbledore.

Weird question, does anyone here read HP fanfiction, or even write it?

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!

^^^As a GDI, I can tell you there is a comforting feeling knowing we really are just the same, thank you.

Yeah, Harry put the Elder wand back in Dumbledore's tomb and, if I'm not mistaken, Kingsley Shacklebolt became the new Minister of Magic. I can't remember where I read that, maybe in the interview hyperlinked above. I asked if Rose and Hugo were named after anyone and another question that escapes me at the moment.

ETA: I remembered--I asked how is George doing later in life now that his twin is gone.

I've decided that Fred haunts Hogwarts! He'd put the other ghosts to shame with his tricks.

LOL, and he and Peeves became best friends, occasionally teaming up with whichever new generation Weasley is at Hogwarts.

It's in the book that immediately after the fall of Voldemort, Kinglsey Shacklebolt was named acting Minister of Magic. There's nothing in the book about whether that was made permanent, though.

LOL. I would hate to think of Fred as a ghost, though -- unable or too scared to "move on."

I wonder if Harry cashed in on the Death of Voledmort ( I still wanna know how they disposed of the body)

and what about Rita skeeter???

SydneyK · #8 07-27-2007, 12:57 PM

I wonder what Harry did with all the money his parents left him. Did he set it aside for his kids' Hogwarts tuition (or is it free)? Did he make some kind of donation, or set up some kind of scholarship for, I don't know, maybe Quidditch seekers?

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

) 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.

It's happening. The HP spinoffs are coming out of the darkness...I can see the whites of their authors' eyes in my foeglass.

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.

The Alchemist: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

You do realize that there really was a Nicholas Flamel right? and this book was published in May 07. JK used famous, real and mythical characters on the Chocolate Frog cards.

Pike/PhiDeltmom · #12 07-30-2007, 09:19 AM

No, I didn't realize that there really was a Nicholas Flamel. Thanks for sharing the article.

I'm fully aware--when's the last time there was a book written about him? Especially a fiction book, aimed toward the approximate age range of HP fans, just 2 months before the last book came out? That was my point.

Oooh, she answered my question! I'm so pleased. I'm sad that George was never the same again, but that's to be expected I guess.

ETA: I hope George married Angelina, too. But that's too much of a Harry/Cho/Cedric thing, I don't think JKR would go that way ago.

I read the whole msscribe story on journalfen and cassie claire came up a lot. All that drama over harry potter fan fiction, I ask you! What I can't stand is the degradation of characters into slash or just overtly sexual stories. Is that really necessary? But people getting passionate about Harry/Ginny or Harry/Hermione was cracking me up. Especially because there was stalking and wars over it!
