But the idea of the series is, of course, that how you start out is less important than where you end up (see also Dumbledore, Snape). -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

Yes, because clearly a self-styled Dark Lord who talks to snakes and kills babies must be a reference to Jesus. How could I have missed all the parallels? :) Edit: Frankly, if anything the seventh book had a bit too much Christian allegory. What the - the protagonist sacrifices himself and returns from death? Yes, I know. I Have Been Trolled.

As a matter of fact, it was an allegory invented by Plato. However, the time period given by him was almost four times as long ago (9000 years) when he lived as has passed since then (2400 years).

I may not be able to make it by midnight EST (working from 6 AM to 6 AM is a bit tricky)... Does the entire 24 hour span have to lie within the week, or can I start in such a way that my 24 hour span is over a few hours past midnight? -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

I now own the seventh HP book. But what I'm currently reading is Illuminatus! It's very entertaining, but also tiring to read because it requires so much concentration and attention span while the plot jumps around like crazy. I thought Cryptonomicon was tough.

Meh. McGonagall's headmistress. Seriously, who else? But I thought that Harry would get the DADA job.

As was stated earlier in this thread (Drew?), it's not easy to face the utter uncaring vastness of the universe, after having been brought up to believe you were in the center.

quote:I wasn't that surprised about Tonks. It is far easier to kill off a couple than break it up, as far as closure goes... JKR was also pretty frugal in her choice of the Weasley who died. She chose the one with the mirrored backup. :P Though if I'd had to guess, I would have predicted Charly (hardly any screen time) or Percy (because he was a dolt until very late in the book). She did explain why Harry didn't die. However, she explained it in a page-long dialogue in the middle of the most suspenseful part of the book, where it's hard to keep focused: Firstly and most importantly, Potter was the master of the Elder Wand, and as she stated later, the wand "refused to kill him" (paraphrased). Secondly, Voldemort hit his own horcrux in the spell. Perhaps the AK curse is not designed for killing more than one person at once? We have never seen it do so. Leaving what she explained and entering my guesswork: I suspect the wand saw HP and LV's last horcrux as two targets, one of whom was its true master. Accordingly, it concentrated its power on the other one, which left HP on the edge of death, but able to return. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.
