I don't think there will be anything to that. She spent way too much time in book 5 with Dumbledore explaining to Harry about Professor Trelawny's prediction. Harry even asks if it could have been a mistake, and the answer is no, because when Voldemort chose Harry as his target, he completed that part of the prediction, making it only possible for it to be about Harry.....

Sorry, I have read each book so many times that I remember the stupidest little details....




And I like the ony with Rosalind Russell, I'm not sure I've seen the one with Lucille Ball. I'm sure I would love it though cause she is one of my favorite funny ladies!

I love Mame!! A couple of years ago I was in a local production of Mame and I played Agnes. It's one of my favorite roles!!
(ok so I hijacked this thread!)

I have to chime in the Auntie Mame bandwagon, I love THAT movie....of course with Ms. Russel, I tried to watch the one with Lucille Ball (because I love her, but it just wasn’t the same, they changed Anges too much for me).

I don't know how many of you have been reading fanfiction, but I do a lot and sometimes its really hard to separate cannon with AU. For me sometimes I wish Draco would come over to the "good" side after the fall of his father, but I KNOW THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN...Draco is the witless foil of these stories, they usually don’t change sides during the stories.

As I was re-reading OoTP in preparation for PoA (I have crazy logic) and some questions have just keep popping in my head as I read it....please indulge me. This is also sort of a stream of consciousness thing, I wrote it as I was reading the book.

We know that JK is excellent with foreshadowing, she should teach a class, a perfect example:

Chapter 4 - Number 12 Grimmuld Place, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The other's hushed voices were giving Harry an odd feeling of foreboding; it was as though they had just entered the house of a dying person.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed fully so I'm going to bring it up again...can meet worms.

Do you think part of what fueled Harry's anger towards Dumbledore is his connection to Voldermort? We see snippets of this throughout the book and the explanation at the end of OoTP, but in the very beginning we have no clue. I think Voldie old boy is using Harry at the very beginning of the book. This will lead to a break in the "Trio" in the later books and will lead to Ron to crossover, but will not stay there for long.

As for our dear Neville, I also think he will be very important and I'm starting to think that Ginny will be also. Again JK is a master of foreshadowing and this book is just chalked full of it.

IMO I think Harry was acting like a selfish child, yes a child with the weight of the world on his shoulders, but selfish nonetheless. I had very little sympathy for Harry at the beginning of the book but it grows at the end.

Yes, in very simplistic terms Harry is an abused child in one world and is a hero and worshipped in another world....when all he wants is to be normal and loved...classic makings of a very screwed up adult. Then he finds out it's killed or be killed. To me, this is no longer a children's story, not that I ever believed it was in the first place. Not that I want to shield children from reality, but still. I thought GoF and OoTP were dark, just imagine how book 6 & 7 are going to be. JK has said that in book 6 the war is in full force and all that it entails. This is going to be very bad and a lot of Deaths and most probably will be of characters we love.

I hope I am remembering this correctly, but I think they mentioned in book 5 that they were pretty sure that Voldemort didn't realize that Harry could share his thoughts and feelings until the attack on Mr. Weasley. Before that, the connection was there, but Voldemort was unaware of it. I believe the feelings of hatred that Harry felt when he was near Dumbledore was simply that connection... he felt the way that Voldemort WOULD feel toward him if he were there. Does anyone else remember it that way?

Also, I have been looking through jkrowling.com and I can't find any of the secret stuff that is supposed to be there, like how to get past the door and stuff. Am, I just being stupid or am I missing something?

You're probably right, but I can't remember it at the moment. Even though Voldie may not be aware of it, he could have still transferred the feelings (I know grasping straws) .

One thing that I thought about after reading the above post and realizing after rereading OoTP....who is the spy? There is a spy in Voldie's camp and its not Snape he's too occupied with the students....but there is another spy...I don't remember when I realized it, it may be been during the second time that Harry "saw" the confrontation between Rookwood? and Voldie.

But there is someone and I hope its not Wormtail, but he will play an important part. Remember what Dumbledore said about the wizard debt that Wormtail owes to Harry, so maybe it can only be between the two of them. God forbid it be Lucious, he is just too irredemable.

Lilly is going to be very important to Harry's survival, we've seen it happen before, it may happen again. I think that is the foreshadowing that JK was referring to about PoA (the movie).

I haven't attempted to go to JK site and find the secret stuff.

There are instructions for getting through the wall at The Leaky Cauldron. I couldn't figure out the instructions because I'm too impatient, but there is a screenshot of the page with the title on it. JKR also writes about the title in the "News" section of her web site.


The announcement of the title introduces a big new question. In the News section, JKR says that neither Harry nor Voldemort is the "Half Blood Prince," and that this was the working title of Chamber of Secrets (which is also supposed to have a lot of clues). So, who appeared in CoS that could be the HBP, if it's not Harry or Voldie? What could possibly tie CoS with the sixth book? *Looking forward to some interesting speculations.*

That's interesting. I'm currently re-reading CoS. I'll have to see if I can pick up any clues.

Chek out Mugglenet.com

News posting confirms that book 6 title is infact Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

More clues to be revealed about the book on JKRowling.com

Now when will she tell us when the new book will be released?!

Can you give a link for this? Or have you seen it on the Leaky Cauldron? I've never heard of such a thing, and I thought I knew all the latest gossip on HP.

this seems highly unlikely, as she states in the FAQs section of her official website that she will not answer if hermione likes harry or ron, because that will spoil it.
i just hope that she doesn't hook up harry and luna, puke.

No I don't think so. Aren't there 3 bricks for Diagon Alley?

There are 5 bricks on her wall, and I know where they all are I just don't know the proper sequence.
