I thought about putting this in academia, but oh well...

This is one my favorite series, and its about to come to an end!


it is gonna be awesome!!!
Ive got mine reserved!
ive read through the whole series in the past month several times

I am overly excited! (in case yeh haven't noticed)

I've got to say, the James Bond series is far better (both the book and movie).

ian fleming is great.

i can't see the point in reserving it. first day, i'll bike to qfc, get there right when it opens, and buy a copy, which will get it to me much quicker than those of you who are getting it in the mail

I know. My dad was going to reserve it, but I said to just go there instead. So what does everyone think is going to happen? Sorry, forgot to log in.

Hello? Borders? You get it at midnight.

lmao. I think that Dumbledore and Sirius will come back to life, Snape will be a hero, Potter and Malfoy make nice, and Ron fucks Hermione.

Not Ron... and Dumbledore and Sirius are gone for good. Snape might be a hero. And Malfoy's gonna get his sorry ass kicked.

i second that

WARNING; POSSIBLE SPOILER? Although I doubt it.

Spoiler!

As much as we hate Ron, he's clearly going to fuck Hermione in this book. I've always thought that Snape was one of the cooler characters. And Malfoy is going to become a great man.

Ron - going to die

Snape - I don't think he was as evil as people say. Remember that one conversation he supposedly had with Dumbledore in the 6th book where he "didn't want to do something" but Dumbledore said "he had already given his word" (or something like that)? That sounds suspicious.

Hermoine - no idea

Harry - he has to die. It would be cruel of JKR to have him live after all this overwhelming trauma in his life.
Voldemort - going to die

Ginny - possibly going to die. Remember in an earlier book, when somebody said that the Death Eaters go for the people you love the most? I think they'll do that again in this boo,

Dumbledore - already dead. However, its interesting to note that JKR did say that his death is more complicated than people think.

Malfoy - Actually, djbob, I don't think he's going to get his "sorry ass kicked". The fact that he continually has second doubts about following Voldemort's orders and finally lowers his wand when he's about to kill Dumbledore makes it clear that JKR wants him to be redeemed.

Eh, I think that snape knows that he needs to get rid of everything that Voldemort has done. To kill Voldemort, they must also get rid of Harry's scar, and he LOOSES HDIS MAGIK PIXIEE DUZT ppOWERrS d00d.

This should break out in a time-turner war. First Harry uses one to save Dumbledore, then Voldemort uses one to make sure that Dumbledore dies, etc.

Hermione is going to get fucked by Ron.

Yeah, I've always thought that Malfoy is more of a man who hides behind the guise of a bully, but is in fact doubtful of himself.

Well, if you were going to use time-turners, Potter should just go back in time and kill Voldemort when he was a baby (as Riddle).

That's impossible though. It breaks causality.

Then so is your scenario. Because Potter wouldn't go back in time to save Dumbledore because he would already have saved him, which means he wouldn't have to back in time in the first place.

Going back in time almost inevitably breaks causality. Oh yah, and mayhaps on the Malfoy. But he will get his butt kicked at least once, maybe before turning to the good side. He might turn to the good side and then die.

The whole book is really just gonna be a race for the cruxes.

Well, they've already broken causality by going back in time to save Buckbeak.

And I think that Malfoy will be the real main character in the new J.K. Rowling book. Kind of like how in Sherlock Holmes, the main character, but the book focused on Dr. Watson. So Potter will be like the Watson of the new J.K. Rowling book, and Malfoy will be the Sherlock Holmes.

I already explained this.

Harry is fighting Voldermort,
who cackles and starts monologuing about how harry is about to die.
Then Harry cracks his wand in half, takes the two pieces and forms a cross.
And says stuff like "Heathen, Witches, blah, blah, blah"
And Voldermort screams in agony.
And falls to the ground

Rather anticlimactic.

Methinks Barney and 2Pac will come on the scene in the last battle and help Voldemort with his emotional difficulties, thereby ending his reign of terror.

there's also a 281 page fanfiction circulating around. Not very well written.

There's also these
http://www.scribd.com/doc/97191
http://www.scribd.com/doc/185494/ (haha)

None of them start properly. The whole



is supposed to be the beginning


Also, I have reason to believe the whole epilogue may be true.

these are pages of the epilogue, which may or may not be spoilers, so read at your own risk.

The page numbers match up to the table of contents (which has most definitely been leaked) too.

update: first 495 pages have Actually been leaked.

No see, if Harry makes sure that his past self doesn't know that he saved Dumbledore, then it all works out. Else his future self tells his past self to go back and save Dumbledore, in which case it still all works out.

No it doesn't.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novikov_self-...tency_principle

As far as I noticed, everything in that episode followed causal relationship. Point out something that didn't make sense.

I'm not saying it didn't make sense. I'm saying that if we follow your rules, then it doesn't work.

You mean following djbob's rules. He said that time travel almost always kills causality. I say it doesn't. And Buckbeak's rescue followed a perfectly causal sequence (or in some cases, loops) of events, as far as I noticed. If you noticed a causal paradox, please point it out.

Ever seen the movie The Time Machine? Apparently not.

Since when have movies accurately represented scientific knowledge?

He wasn't able to save his girlfriend, because if he did, then he would never have traveled back in time in the first place. But, if he saved her in a way so that he didn't know that she was still alive until after he went back to save her, then it all works out. If he didn't know that she was still alive, then he would still go back in time to save her, so there's no impossibility there. Except maybe the whole time-traveling thing.

update 2:
496 to the end are leaked too.
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3744376/Harry_...Pages_496_to_En

finished the seventh book. good stuff.

Please don't post spoilers in this topic

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/N...how/2210078.cms

Then clearly, you've been bullshitting about the causality stuff this whole time.

You mean you don't understand. If Tom Riddle died, then there's no way that all the events in the series could've taken place, unless some impostor showed up, or Voldemort isn't really the same person as Tom Riddle. Or maybe even a clone. But in any case, there's no way to prevent the events that already happened from happening, because that would create a contradiction, a paradox.

However, there are ways that time travel can happen without creating a paradox. As in the Wikipedia article I linked, if a billiards ball is shot back in time so that it collides with its past self, preventing it from going back in time in the first place, a paradox results. But, it's possible that it only knocks its past self slightly astray, in a way so that when it goes back into time, it is slightly off-course. Then, since it's slightly off-course, it only knocks itself slightly astray. This is causally consistent and doesn't cause a paradox.

All this is assuming that time travel is possible though.

Time travel is SO possible, it's been done man. Hello? Time dilation?

Correction: Assuming that backwards time travel is possible.

I agree.

If you haven't done so already, I recommend trying to find anagrams in character's names, like Tom Marvalo Riddle = I am Lord Voldemort. There's nothing about this in any of the books but the second, I believe, but JK Rowling puts some clues into people's names in this way. Do this with everybody you can. Especially the name Severus Snape.


Also, Lappy, the one copy i put up has been confirmed as real.

IMFO, I think Snape is going to be revealed as the good guy, and Potter will be like, "Oh shit, my bad."

Damn you Pradeep, you gave away the ending.

Mrs Weasley is gonna die. Harrys saved to many of her children.
Potters gonna hook up with Ginny
Rons gonna do Hermione

ALL OUT WAR !!!!!


ohh and "HIT DAT RON"

I think you're right, except for the part about Weasley.

what i mean is she will throw her self infornt of harry like his mom did or some thing like that, save harry and her all the other Weasleys

but there are just to many Weasley for them all to live.

Mayhaps you're right. If so, maybe Percy will die? He's the most rogue of them, anyways. As in, rogue from the family.

That will indubitably occur.

Dude, that'd be way to unoriginal. It'd be like a cliche.

ehh it would make sence, i just figure some one has to be way self sacrificeing other than harry

I was thinking more "Pursues Evans"

edit: oh well that doesn't work. I thought I had figured something out.

Something is messed up with my spellcheck in firefox today.

I hoped the author dies before finishing it. How annoying to see and hear people talk about that at school.

And the actor, oh my God, he's one hell of a nerd. If I ever see him on the streets, they'll only find his hand gripping his little magic wand.

lmao, there are a bunch of girls at my school who want to get fucked by Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter, or Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow.

Wow, what is this world coming too? Girls now like guys wearing makeup and guys who play with sticks.

lmao. It's a sad world we live in.
