While I have not read the books yet (should really get to that), I really love the movies.

Call them children movies if you will, I don't care...those are dang good!!

I am looking forward to the next one due out this Summer. Anyone wanna go with me?...I'll buy the popcorn!!   [smiley=popcorn.gif]

;D glad to know you loved the movie  Dale.... but I suggest you read the book if u have time.... it'll be worth it... yes I'm looking forward to watching harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban too.... I'm sure it'll be a hit just like the previous two....  ::) how I wish I'm a witch and be really good at magic just like Hermione.... though she's a mudblood... too bad I'm just a muggle  :P It'll be really fun to use magic spells and make potions and use charms and everything....or travel around the world not having to ride a plane but a portkey or apparate/disapparate instead ;D  How I wish I'm in Hogwarts! Sometimes the real world can be too much to bear I can't help wishing I'm someplace else.... :-/

Kianna,

Glad to hear from you. I know I really should read the books, the problem I tend to have is one of extreme interest. That means that once I start something I have to finish it. I would start reading the first book, and two weeks later finish reading the most recent one. All else in my life would take a back seat, and right now I can't put myself in that position. Maybe this Summer when I have time to sit on a beach somewhere and just relax and read, then I will get to it.

Kianna, have you read "The Prisoner of Azkaban"? Just wondering if reading the book before watching the movie helps you to understand things more, or does it just piss you off when the Director leaves out parts of the book?

As for the Magic & Potion part of your post, I too wish I had some of those powers. I think we all do.

On weekends I put on my [smiley=batman.gif] costume, does that count for anything?  ;D

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on May 18th, 2004, 2:36am

Yes Dale I know what you mean... you must be quite busy right now to find time to read them and to think you must start from book 1 HP and the Sorcerer's Stone but I do hope you'll be able to start reading it soon.... don't worry once you started reading it you'll find it hard to stop 'coz J.K. Rowling's storytelling just gets better and better everytime and she sort of leave things quite hanging in the end you couln't help wondering what'll happen next....I just finished reading book 5.... Order of the Phoenix and I'm kind of upset 'coz someone died... I'll not tell who since some have not read it yet... but it's someone really close to Harry :'( I wish Book 6 is out soon... I can't wait....
Anyway,..yes I've read The prisoner of Azkaban already and I think it does help when you get to read the book first before watching the movie,..it makes you understand things a little better and makes it easier for you to relate to what's going on... though sometimes you're right dale you can't help feeling a 'lil pissed when they leave out some parts in the book or change something but as long as the thought is still there I guess it's okay....I think sometimes they have to leave things out because it can get quite long and maybe they think some scenes are irrelevant already.

And as for the magic stuffs and all, yes I guess ur right...I think we all wish to be a 'lil "magical" once in a while  :D hmm.... maybe I should put on a witch costume too once in a while  ;D  [smiley=hello.gif] If you wish to ask anything about HP just post it here okay?.... thanks  ;)

Sure Kianna,
They are just entering into puberty, and their voices are starting to change. I have gotten so used to their voices and it will be strange to hear them with the changed voices.  ::)

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on May 25th, 2004, 10:12am
;) I kind of figured that Dale  but I still decided to ask to be sure...thanks for the reply anyway...ur right...they are all into "puberty" stage now...and for sure their voices have changed among other things...just look at Harry (Daniel)!  :o My! Has he grown... and sooooo cute at that too same as Ron and Hermione....

Anyway... san wee  ;) hi and welcome to the forum...I would love to share more facts about Harry Potter but you see... the thing is I'm not at home right now...(vacation)I'm using my cousin's  PC so I could not possibly do that at the moment for it's stored in my own pc but I'll be back home soon and I'll see what I can still share though I can tell you probably have a lot of info about Harry more than I do ;) Thanks for sharing  cast of HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban too... I can't wait to see it... I agree when you said Dumbledore's replacement is not so good..I've seen some clips and he's not the same "Dumbledore",if you know what I mean...he doesn't have that "twinkling, kind eyes" :-/ That's it for now...I'll be back with some more of HP   ;)  I miss being home   :-[

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by need4speed8dalejr on May 25th, 2004, 8:43pm
Kianna,  ;D

How stange that we posted about the cast of the lastest HP movie and their voices changing, because last night I watched a small preview on that very subject. It was the main three characters Harry, Ron & Hermione all talking about their new bodies and how there voices started to change during production of this movie.

They also said that they are already in pre-production on the next Harry Potter movie. The directors and producers saw that the cast was growing up quickly and soon they would be too old for the roles, so they have hurried up the schedule. Very cool. [smiley=elf.gif]

You won't believe me but just see for yourselves.

I'm so dissappointed!!!!  >:(

believe me, ALFONSO CUARON (the director, duh!) will be mugged and sacked by wizards aAND MUGGLES! He must be sent to Azkaban and kissed by dementors!!! He must be a dementor himself because he sucked the happiness and joy from me upon seeing his work! It really sucks!!!

Good thing there's my good friend Snape to provide some good things in the movie, and thanks to Ron, too!

GGRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!  >:(  >:(  >:(

just wondering why change of director?

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on Jun 5th, 2004, 8:55am

[smiley=bigcry.gif]  :o  ???  :'( oh noo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really... why? why? why? First,... let me first say I'm soo glad I'm finally home.... I missed my pc so so much ;D and I missed being here in the forum as well... Now Harry Potter... I've seen the movie! Lucky I was in Manila on the opening day itself..I was supposed to go home that day June 3... but what's a day to delay it if I could actually watch HP3....but! much to my disappointment :-/  Don't get me wrong... it's not really that bad... I admit the movie has it good points but as a Harry Potter fan, I can't help but get disappointed... San Wee.... I'm glad we share the same sentiments... :-[Oh how I do wish Chris Columbus directed the movie instead of Alfonso Cuaron...no offense to the latter but why on earth did he have to leave out some very important happenings on the movie?.....Why does Sirius Black has to have the tiniest role when this movie's suppose to be about him?.... Isn't it entitled Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? Sirius did not appear until the film's about to end... the director should have included in the film how he escaped from Azkaban... with all those dementors guarding it no one has ever escaped in there... and how about the Marauder's Map? how come it was not clearly stated who were the four who made and owned it?... Prongs,Padfoot,Wormtail and Moony? Remus Lupin had the biggest role I think (aside from Harry,Hermione and Ron of course) that's why I can't help wond'ring they should've changed the title to Harry Potter and the Werewolf :P And one more thing:... Albus Dumbledore's replacement!  :-X  :-/ these smiley's are enough to descibe him I guess.... Why does it have to be him?.... :( They should've found a better replacement... someone who is softspoken... someone who has that "kind" eyes that the previous Dumbledore used to have... Someone that can portray the role of a wise,gentle,and kind Headmaster of Hogwarts....(sigh) :-[ These are just my honest opinion, I hope no one's gonna take it against me.... It's just that sometimes I guess when you get to read the book before watching the movie... you can't help getting disappointed when you think that some very important happenings are ommited or changed.... Though HP3 has good scenes too... I personally like the scene where Harry rode Buckbeak the hippogriff... and the scene where the dementors almost sucked Harry's soul is quite eerie....and also the one where he have to fight the dementors through his patronus... quite good as well... and... Ron and Malfoy really made me laugh....especially the scene where they have to fight the boggart in their D.A.A. class using the Ridikkulusspell and Malfoy said "This class is ridiculous!"..t'was pretty funny...and also Proffesor Trelawney's scene where she appeared to have been posessed and after that she sort of coughed dramatically which was really funny that's one good thing as well...

Well... I've seen the movie...and though I'm quite disappointed... I can still say I still liked it.... I just hope it'll not be the same director who will direct HP and the Goblet of Fire.... I heard it'll not be Cuaron anymore (thank goodness ;D).... I wish it'll be Columbus again...

I saw the movie today, well since i do not have any harry potter books so i have no idea about  the complete details about the map.

The movie is not so bad, though it is completely different from the first two HP movies. I must say the first two was really damn good. I'm not so disappointed though i cannot say im satisfied with the third one.

The director failed to gave focus and  more emphasis on the confrontation scene with Sirius, Lupin and Peter. The scene was not that good. It supposed to be the highlight of the film.

Most of  the characters were not been  focused and lost the significance and  connection with the story in this third movie .

:-/ oopsss sorryyyyyyyyyy........ I should've kept my mouth shut Ree.... :-X ...... It's just that I couldn't help voicing out what I think about the movie... but as I've said...it really isn't "that" bad.... it's still worth watching... I suppose you haven't read the book though?.... 'coz seems to me that those who got to read the books are the one's who really got disappointed...  :-/  maybe we just expected the movie to turn out exactly the way J.K. Rowling narrated it in the book...

Anyway My thanks for the info.... ;) yipee!!! Cuaron's not going to direct it anymore... though I wish it'll be Chris Columbus again...I read somewhere that he declined to direct any HP movie anymore because it's very demanding and he wants to spend more time with his family.... oh well ::)

You're right My...the confrontation scene with Sirius, Lupin and Peter's pretty weak...there should've been some flashbacks on what really happened to make the story more interesting and understandable....About the Marauder's Map.... the owner were Prongs, Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail.... Prongs is James Potter, Harry's Dad and he's an Animagus... An Animagus is a wizard or witch who can transform into an animal.... Prongs is a stag.... Padfoot is Sirius Black and he can transform into a dog... Wormtail is Peter...who was Scabbers... Ron's rat...Moony is REmus....but he's not an animagus because he's a werewolf.... they were the owner of the Marauders map... 'coz back in their days at Hogwarts, the four were really close friends...only that Peter Pettigrew became a traitor during Voldemort's dark days. I'm re-reading HP3 right now....you know just to refresh on what's happened.... there have been a lot of alterations in the movie.... it's just not the same as HP 1 and 2..... t'was really a lot lot more different.... :-/

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by tarantada on Jun 10th, 2004, 8:26am
ok, thanks for the info kianna.

I got a question though, in the HP3, the map was given to harry by the weasely twins. how come the map was in the posession of the twins?

Chris Columbus is one of the producer of HP, if I'm right.

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on Jun 10th, 2004, 8:37am
Hi....  ;) yes the map was given to Harry by Fred and George Weasley.... the two got hold of the map during their first year in Hogwarts....Filtch (Hogwarts caretaker) took the twins in his office after catching them doing some mischief inside the school...in there, Fred and George couldn't help noticing a drawer marked Confiscated and Highly Dangerous...to make the story short the twins managed to open that drawer and got hold of the map....and you're right uh,..Miss?.... sorry but I don't know what to call you... I'm a bit hesitant to call you uh,..tarantada?... ;) ANyway,... yes ur right Chris Columbus is one of the producers of HP3....

Well, I think Richard Harris was a better Dumbledore. And if that one professor keeps giving Harry chocolate whenever he passes out, Harry is gonna have an acne problem. Well he left anyway so I guess Harry will be saved the the teen acne in the next episode.

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on Jun 14th, 2004, 1:54am

You mean the chocolate frogs Joel?.... well you see, the reason Professor Lupin keeps giving Harry those is because it can make him feel better..remember he gave them to Harry after almost being kissed by a dementor?...Dementors are hideous creatures... they can take all the happiness out of you... they seem to take away every happy thoughts you have and being attacked by one makes you feel like you will never be happy again....and don't worry about Harry getting those acne..I bet he'd still look as cute as he is even with them ;)....As for Richard Harris,... if you say so,... but he's just not the same....

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on Jun 14th, 2004, 7:53am
oopss....sorry Joel, I thought you were referring to Michael Gambon.... 'glad you think that Richard Harris was a better Dumbledore... too bad he's gone...  :-/ I think no one can play Dumbledore's role better than he did on HP's 1 and 2... Gambon tried his best I'm sure but he's just not the same... oh well,  ::) I think I'd better learn to get used to seeing him because he will still be playing the role in HP3... :-/

Uh,..... excuse me?..... but who are you?.... don't tell me that you are the "real" Sirius Black?....  ... oh my! must be hard isn't it?.... I wonder what's it like being improsined in Azkaban  with all those dementors! No wonder you seem to be out of your mind already (sigh) :-/...but really, I pity you :-[ .... I can never imagine what would become of me if ever I came across with dementors. I will surely go berserk and lose all the sanity in me. ::) And about the J.K. part of your post,...uh,..hmmm..... let me think.... I think I know what that means:..... okay here goes:.... J.K. means "JUST KIDDING" right?.....  lol.... I must be what you call "a pretentious Harry Potter fan" 'coz I don't really know what J.K. means! Oh poor me! what will I pretend about?.... that I have not really read any HP books?... Ask me anything then... prove it....I dare you. And yes I admit I was wrong in the Michael Gambon part of my post. I should've said HP4 but I put HP3 instead, no biggie there.  



And oh,.... I believe J.K. stands for JOANNE KATHLEEN? .... I wonder who she is?....  go figure....  

 

 
One more thing: I can see that you're an HP fan yourself... too big a fan at that I suppose?... Tell me,... do you:  
 
 
~~Mutter nonsense latin words under your breath?  ::)    
 
 
~~Run outside looking for an owl when your computer says "You've Got Mail"?   ;)  
 
 
~~Actually ask for a broom for Christmas?  ;D    
 
 
~~Mutter "lumos" under your breath every time you turn on a flashlight?  ::)    
 
 
~~Sort everyone you meet into the four Hogwarts houses? (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.)   :P    
 
 
~~Went out and bought the latest editition of the Webster's Dictionary because they added the word "muggle"?  :D    
 
 
~~Say "wicked" all the time because Rupert Grint does?   ::)  
     
 
 
or.......  
 

~~Were kicked out of the movie theater for standing on your chair, throwing your shoe at the screen and yelling "THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE BOOK!"    :D  ;)  
 
 
If you happen to answer yes to any of those things,... then.....   you must really be a die-hard fan considering you have to resort having a nick such as the one you're using.... ENjoy! (and by the way..... I loved your presence in the room this afternoon.... don't you just love haters?)

how about you post some facts about harry potter, serious.

You know I'm a fan of Harry Potter but I don't know much since I don't have nor read Harry's books.

Let exchange information about Harry Potter then.


How did Harry's parents meet?

The story of the frendship between james, siruis, lupin and peter. Since the Director of HP3 failed to show the connection.

Latest News about Harry Potter ;D

New Harry Potter title revealed

'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' will be sixth of popular series, agent confirms.

Rowling made the announcement on her Web site, JKRowling.com, although it took some knowledge of her site by dedicated fans to reveal the title. The path to find the title was explained on a fan's site, WizardNews.com, and was confirmed Tuesday by her literary agent, Christopher Little Agency, which was reached in London by CNN/Money.

Rowling is still in the process of writing the book and no release date has been set, according to her agent.

A "rumors" section of the site had included a post from fans Monday that the new title would be "Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storge" but Rowling dismissed that idea on the site, saying, "I am trying very hard not to be offended that anyone thought this was possible."

Another posting in the rumor section said that the title would be "Harry Potter and the Toenail of Icklibogg" to which Rowling responded, "Well, if you believed the Storge one..."

On her site's main "Daily News" page Rowling wrote, "Well the door opened at last and I showed you the title of book six - the genuine title, the title that will appear on the published book, the title I have been using in my head for ages and ages. Unfortunately, however, the door opened on the very same day the "Pillar of Storge" hoaxer struck."

Rowling said that she had once considered the new title for her second book, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

Certain crucial pieces of information in book six were originally planned for 'Chamber of Secrets,' but very early on I realized that this information's proper home was book six," she wrote on the home page.

She seemed to confirm the Half Blood Prince title on the Daily News page by adding "The HBP is neither Harry nor Voldemort," she wrote. Lord Voldemort is the series' villain.

;D

newsnewsnewsnews!

Ralph Fiennes(Red Dragon, Schindler's List), might consider playing You-Know-Who in the next Harry Potter movie.. HPatGoF! The producers are currently in talks with Ralph's agents.

souce: mugglenet.com

I think this is a great idea! what d'you people think? The Great Red Dragon playing Voldemort! One word to describe: WICKED! Imagine Ralph Fiennes as the grown up Tom Riddle, the eyes, the facial expressions of Ralph is just absolutely PERFECT! I'm sure if he will be the one playing the villain, the viewers won't be disappointed!...

You want proofs that he will be a best pick to play Voldemort? Watch him in RED DRAGON!

I wonder when it's gonna be published..I can't wait....  [smiley=hopcat2.gif] Hmmm ::) Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort?....  ::) could be but I can't imagine him playing the role,...

Yes Beast,... I am telling you that the casts are selected already... They are even filming the movie already..... If Michael Gambon dies (and I think that's unlikely to happen)..... they just would have to get a substitute and re-shot the scenes where he was included just like what happened to Aaliyah in "The Matrix".

Here's additional info about the cast of HP4... You can check the link if u want to.

For three days I have been reading the Harry Potter books. I'm now reading Prisoner of Azkaban after reading Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. I thought I'd never get to read the book series but a good friend lent me her set. While I breeze through the first 2 books because I have seen it already, I'm enjoying Azkaban now and can't wait for the DVD so I'll be able to complete my collection of HP 1,2,3.

I still love watching the movie though because its practically a visual feast. I could never imagine Quiddich on my own without the help of the movie.

I just never realize how Harry's adoptive muggles are so downright cruel. This is something that you don't really take notice in the movie as some of the details of maltreatment are either downplayed or sadly missed out.

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by kianna_andrea on Aug 31st, 2004, 1:31am


Teamay, I'm glad you get to read the HP books already. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  ;) Anyway, I'm with you with regards to the Quidditch part of the story. Being not so much of a sports buff, I don't think I can ever imagine how's it being played without seeing it in the movie. And yes, Harry's adoptive muggle family are really cruel, sometimes you couldn't help getting teary-eyed reading those parts where all three of them, Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley treats him like he has no feelings at all. Letting him live in the cupboard under the stairs I think is cruel enough, not to mention Aunt Petunia's rude remarks about Harry's parents, Uncle Vernon's insults and punishments whenever he thinks Harry did something wrong, eventhough sometimes it's not really his fault, and Dudley's endless bullying. There were a lot of instances where Harry was treated cruelly, but this one from Book2, The Chamber of Secrets had me fuming and pity Harry the most. Teamay, remember when the Dursleys had visitors in their house and told Harry not to come out or make noise even, but then Dobby came and screw things up for Harry then Uncle Vernon decided to lock him in his room?


"I'm locking you up!" said Uncle Vernon. And laughing like a maniac, he dragged Harry back upstairs. Uncle Vernon was as bad as his word. The following morning, he paid a man to fit bars on Harry's window. He himself fitted a cat-flap in the bedroom door, so that small amounts of food could be pushed inside three times a day. They let Harry out to use the bathroom morning and evening. Otherwise, he was locked in his room around the clock.
  The cat-flap rattled and Aunt Petunia's hand appeared, pushing a bowl of canned soup into the room. Harry, whose insides were aching with hunger, jumped off his bed and seized it. The soup was stone-cold, but he drank half of it in one gulp.Then he crossed the room to Hedwig's cage and tipped the soggy vegetables at the bottom of the bowl into her empty food tray. She ruffled her feathers and gave him a look of deep disgust.

"It's no good turning your beak up at it - that's all we've got," said Harry grimly.

He put the empty bowl back on the floor next to the cat-flap and lay back down on the bed, somehow even hungrier than he had been before the soup....


I think that's way too cruel...locking him up, letting him starve like that.  >:(  :-[

Hello Maye.  :) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's release date is on November 18, 2005. (yipeee! just two days after my birthday! It's got to be the greatest birthday gift ever for me. If I get to see it on it's premiere that is.  :P 'Hope I'm in Manila then just like on the premiere of HP and the Prisoner of Azkhaban last year. :-/) Anyway, I wanted to keep quiet about this as much as possible for fear that you know, something unlikely will happen and I might not be able to read it, but since you asked,  ;) I am expecting my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Monday. Shhhhhhhh,....... it's our secret. ;) I can hardly wait Maye. You know how long I've waited for this book. I can hardly contain my excitement! Lol, anyway, I'll post some reactions when I'm done reading it. Thanks for dropping by. I miss you.  :)

Note: For those who haven’t finished reading the book yet, or are planning to read the book, I suggest you don’t read this. I don’t want to spoil anything for you, and keep you from enjoying the book the way I enjoyed it. Thanks.



I finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince four days ago. I haven’t posted anything for I don’t feel like typing much these days. I could've finished it at a much earlier time if only I've enough time to spend reading it but as it's not the case, I contented myself with the thought that at least I've read it at every opportunity I got. I've things to attend to you know. What with a lot of work that needs to be done on time! I never seem to have enough time for myself anymore.... (sigh). Anyway, I may be biased since I’m a Harry Potter fan but along with HP’s 1 to 5, HP6 is definitely worth reading. You’ll find the characters have changed in a way especially Harry, (he seemed to be more aggressive, more resolute, more independent, he had occasional bouts of emotional outbursts as well) but you’ll love them just the same. They were indeed coming out of age already. The book started with Muggles noticing and experiencing quite a lot of odd occurrences already and it was interesting to note that The Minister of Magic have been in contact with the British Prime Minister and have always been even with the previous ones. I think it just goes to show that the Wizarding World is not entirely detached from the Muggle World.  There were quite a few new characters introduced, including a new Minister of Magic (Yes, Cornelius Fudge have been sacked) and a new Potion’s professor. Snape finally got his longed for wish and that is to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Harry’s hatred for Snape seems to get more and more intense. Harry also had the suspicions that Draco had become a Death Eater already and is into carrying out a plan as instructed by no other than Lord Voldemort himself. Hermione and Ron believe otherwise though. The Wizarding World is now fully aware that Lord Voldemort indeed is back, that’s why it is expected that everyone will feel like they’re all in “Mortal Peril” as what Mrs. Weasley’s clock says. There were stories of disappearances, odd accidents, and even of deaths that’s why the Wizarding Community are being a bit more apprehensive and worried and extra careful. Back in Hogwarts, the students found themselves (especially the sixth years) faced  with impossible home works and workloads that even if they have free periods already they seem not to have enough time finishing all of them. They learned to Apparate for the first time as well.(though with a lot of difficulty at first.) Harry suddenly found himself doing extremely well in his Potion’s class with the help of the book who once belonged to the Half-Blood Prince. He also became the Gryffindor’s Quidditch Captain. Dumbledore decided that it was time for Harry to know what prompted Lord Voldemort to try and kill him and what makes him as evil as he is, that is why he arranged for Harry to have special lessons with him with the help of the Pensieve. Through this, Harry and Dumbledore had trips down memory lane going back from Voldemort’s ancestors, to his days in Hogwarts to his last meeting with Dumbledore, his extreme curiosity about  Horcrux/Horcruxes etc., hoping to find out about Voldemort’s weakness which will make it easier for Harry to kill him.

Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by psyche on Aug 12th, 2005, 10:47am
'cont,......


I think it’s fairly safe to say that HP6 has its intense moments but there were also lighthearted ones. I think it’s only natural for J.K. Rowling to include “romance” in the story already, what with Harry, Ron, and Hermione being 16 turning 17. Ron and Hermione’s being unable to keep their feelings for each other, along with their constant bickering, were quite amusing and funny. There were also a lot of “snogging” ;) going on(lol)  but the one that had me giggling like a teenager and “kilig” was Harry’s “unexpected” kissing scene with the one he loves. (Yes, indeed, Harry had fallen in-love too, and no, it is not with Cho Chang…):) I think the “love-teams” in the book were well matched. I personally like Harry’s object of affection. ;)
    The ending was quite a tragic one though. Just like in HP5 (Order of the Phoenix), a very important and special person in Harry’s life died. Dumbledore died at the end of the book,………. or rather for me, at least, he 'seemed to have died'. I dunno, this is just a hunch, but I have a feeling that Dumbledore isn’t really dead. I may be wrong but I’ve strong feelings to believe that he isn’t. One reason is that when he is “suffering” already, he asked for Harry to find Snape. Now, we all know, even if a lot seem to oppose the idea, that Dumbledore have put so much faith and trust in Snape.



But somebody else had spoken Snape’s name, quite softly. “Severus…” The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading. Snape said nothing, but walked forward and pushed Malfoy out of the way. Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion etched in the harsh lines of his face. “Severus…. Please…” Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore. “Avada Kedavra!”


  There must be an "agreement" or something that only Dumbledore and Snape knows. I think Snape is just acting on Dumbledore’s orders. So, if this is the case, then“Avada Kedavra” would not work in killing him because the curse is effective if, and only if, the curser really mean them. It's not like Snape turned into a traitor and actually “killed” Dumbledore on his own accord though the others believe that's just what he did. He could even kill Harry himself when Harry went after him but he didn't. He even stopped a Death Eater from killing Harry. There must really be an explanation behind all these. Another thing, during Dumbledore’s funeral, his body was not visible for everyone to see. I wonder what could be the reason for this. Isn’t it said that “one could not be declared dead unless there’s a body?” so I guess this apply quite well to Dumbledore’s supposedly “death”. And lastly, (just to remind you again, these are just my own opinion) when Dumbledore`s body was laid upon a table, suddenly, bright, white flames had erupted around Dumbledore's body. It then rose higher and higher obscuring the body, then white smoke spiraled into the air. Harry even thought that he saw a phoenix fly joyfully into the blue, but next second the fire had vanished. In it's place was a white marble tomb. I think this must mean something. Remember Fawkes? Dumbledore's phoenix? In Book Two, Fawkes also burst into flames and then from his ashes he was reborn again. So I was thinking, could it be a sign that Dumbledore will, to use the term, be “reborn”  in Book 7? It may sound farfetched, but I dunno, I hope I may be right because I would really hate the fact that Harry would be facing Voldemort in Book 7 without Dumbledore around. Well we'll see. Anyway,.... who exactly is the Half-Blood Prince? I guess you would be surprised to know. I thought it would be a new character but I was mistaken.  The Half-Blood Prince is and has always been a significant figure since Book 1, though the role he had played here is more of a "friend" to Harry rather that someone that he loathes so much. ;) (there's the clue...) ;D  
    So there,... sorry I babbled a 'lil too much, :P 'Just that I can't help myself. I've waited so long for this book. It's a bit disheartening though to realize that there would be  one last book to look forward to in this series. I have loved Harry Potter from the start.  I've seen the characters grow, change, face challenges, cry, laugh, win, lose, fall in-love.... there were just so many memories to go back to in Harry Potter. I feel now that it would be hard to say goodbye to everyone. I enjoyed Harry and his friend's adventures tremendously. It's like for once, there's this book who could make you  forget the realities of life for a while and enter a world where everything seems a lot easier. Where you could do almost about anything with just a flick of a wand, or with just an utter of a certain spell. Where even though danger arises, you will be comforted with the fact that wherever evil resides, there would be enough goodness and people with pure hearts who are ready to fight and risk their lives for everyone's sake. Who would ever forget the magical world that Harry Potter brought us? I would be looking forward to the last installment of HP even if I think it would be real hard to say goodbye to Harry Potter when the time comes.  Oh well, just like everything else in this world, everything indeed, has to end, doesn't it?

But gee, Harry really do look soo gorgeous already, I think I'm in-love. Just as what Teamay says about Hugh Grant; "I could just die!", I think with Daniel Radcliffe "I could just die too!!!!"
