As for the other things likely to happen, who knows? That woman is a genius, i swear she is. She captivated the youth of my generation (for the most part) and has been able to continually hold our attention, making us want more and to finally end it. I mean I am about to be 20 years old and I still read these dang books and watch the movies. Obviously she did something very right and I have no doubt the last book is gonna be a phenomenon.

Everyone should invest in a book company soon, I have a feeling book companies stocks are about to soar with the release of that book (not too certain how that actually works, but I hoped it sounds as good on this thread as it did in my head

) I dont think there is going to be any comparison when it comes to the number of copies of this last book she is going to sell, I am predicting record breaking numbers, especially for the first few days.

Ah, you mean movie? (i didn't remember if it was in the books) Could be that the shot was reversed or that the actors didn't communicate. The script could have said that Moody/Crouch flicks his tongue, Moody's actor chose to flick all one way and Crouch just happened to flick the other and no one caught it.

I just finished watching the 4th movie and I didn't notice anything different. When Harry was in the pensive I noticed that Barty Jr. flicked his tongue multiple times in both directions (to me a sign of agitation, fear, excitment, etc....not his usual neervous tick), but all the other times the tongue was flicked to the left.

Is anyone else rereading the books and really starting to notice little details now? I was picking some out earlier, but of course, they've slipped my mind, damn ADD.
But it is amazing how, now I've read up to book 6, I can go back and pick stuff out-both events that foreshadow the future and things that may happen later on.
I can even see where JKR could have improved the first book, continuity errors, such as Ron telling Harry all about quidditch on the train and then Harry telling Wood he knew nothing about quidditch.

IDK, I'm sure I'll think of more. I'm so ready for book 7.

Yeah, I've been listening to them as audiobooks and I think the combo of rereading plus hearing it helps me make connections that weren't there before.

I'm rereading them all, one per week. Barnes and Noble is having weekly discussions, so I just reread the book we're about to discuss so that I'm ready when I come into work (I assist leading them). I'm gonna miss tomorrow...

Yeah, I'm rereading them as well. I started with book 6 and I'm working my way backwards. I'm halfway through Chamber of Secrets right now.

Wouldn't Barty, Jr. be a Slitherin and maybe a parcel tongue? That would explain why he flicks his tongue like a snake?

Me too and I am almost done with OOTP. It's funny how I missed little things that turned into big things.

Yes. And despite my earlier steadfast position that Harry is not a Horcrux, my re-read of Book 2 has convinced me that, in fact, he is -- an accidental Horcrux, but a Horcrux, nonetheless.
