Harry Potter Book Discussion *SPOILER ALERT*

[nk_lion]

Yeah, the childrens' names were too sentimental, to the point of almost being sappy.

The epilogue was OK, nothing more. From the way she worded it, that she would tie up all ends to make sure no one wrote another book after her about Harry Potter (Like Gone with the Wind), I assumed that everything would be answered, as opposed for all the readers to guess what would happen. Although a couple of days before the book was released, the never say never comment was said regarding future books.

As for predictions, Snape and Lily, Snape killing Dumbledore, it was kinda predictable. The whole not so Jesus like innocent Dumbledore was a huge shocker....my heart was beating hard at that one point, and the Harry a Horcrux was pretty surprising as I remember hearing her say that he wasn't one.

And why did she have to kill Hedwig? Dobby I can understand, but Hedwig??

And the Tiara and locket seemed like good candidates for Horcruxes to me before I read the book.

Ok, I thought I only cared about Harry, Ron, Hermione or Hagrid dying.

Dobby dies?????

~sobs~

Oh well, at least now I know. I can be prepared when I read the book.

~sniffles~ Poor Dobby.

Not sure if you knew it, NK, but GWTW got a sequel... it's called "Scarlett."

Hedwig would've been unnesscessary in this book. It would've been kind of obvious where Harry was if someone saw Hedwig that recognised her.

Tessa! Stop reading this thread and go read the book! ^_^

She didn't say who Draco married, though the son's name was a hoot.

I'm guessing Pansy Parkinson though.

I think I'd die laughing if he married Millicent Bullstrode... but it was probably Pansy or some other "dark" witch.

MF, did you get that Tonks and Lupin's son Teddy was snogging with "Victoire" who had to be Fleur and Bill's? A fascinating quarter-werewolf one-sixteenth Veela brood would ensue...

I totally caught that! I thought it was simply amazing. Victoire Weasley is a pretty funny sounding name.

I'll bet Luna married Neville. They always seemed like they'd make a good couple. I really wish she'd just tell us what happened to all of the characters, what they're jobs were, who they married and all that. Just like this big book of "What Happened After Book 7" done by Character and such for all of the "major" characters like Harry down through Seamus and Dean. Maybe even the Parvati's and Lavender Brown... I'm so curious about all of those kids!

That should so say Even the "Patils" and Lavendar Brown.... Wow, I'm smart. It's Padma and Parvati Patil... not Padma and Patil Parvati!

I have decided to write it. There's no stopping me now. I have no idea if anyone will ever read my version, but there will be legions of fans out there demanding a real epilogue and I intend to provide one.

It will also deal with what happens to the Death Eaters, the Dementors, the Giants, and the Aurors. And how things are improved to avoid the next Voldemort.

Mis-worded what I said....meant to say that Jo didn't want what happened with GWTW to Harry Potter.
