Harry Potter spoilers: Folks who haven't read the book, be warned!

[Anil]

shall we start on theories for what happened in book 6 and what is going to happen in book 7?

[steds]

everyone dies


...hopefully including the guys who made the Harry Potter films, thus ruining everything Rowling had done

[superkingdave]

imo R.A.B is Regulus Black

[Langeveldt]

Lance Armstrong or somebody decent rides into town and teaches all the punks a thing or two about how to inspire people...

Harry Potter grows a head, to reveal that he is, in fact, Zaphod Beeblebrox.

Seriously though, I'm contemplating reading the books. But there's also Dune in the waiting list, so not sure when I'm actually going to restart the first one, which I left less that half way through. I'd still have five more books left after that, before I could discuss the seventh.

i think snape is still on the good side and was acting on dumbledore's orders not to blow his cover when he killed him...i think he will help harry significantly in book 7 and will die in the last book....anyone agree??

[superkingdave]

yeah thats my view as well, also the locket that was switched was in Grimauld place if you re read book 5 when they were cleaning out the house but i think Mundungus might have nicked it and sold it.

yeah you are right....

don't remember book 5 that much but that's possible...

I don't see how Snape can possibly be on their side now to be honest.

I reckon Voldemort dies at the end of book 7, as one of them has to at some point (the prophecy) and I can't see them leaving a mystery that big hanging at the end of it. And as it's a children's book, I can't see it ending sadly as Harry dies. And Dave's right about Black IMO.

As an aside, why on Earth was Chapter 2 included? It gave it away (although it might not have done if by some miracle he is still on their side). I suppose he could be, because Dumbledore has never been so wrong.

[superkingdave]

Dumbledore would not plead with Snape for his life, no the 'serverus' was Dumbledore reminding Snape of his mission IMO. All the same he didn't mean to make the unbreakable vow but it was forced upon him. Dumbledore has some reason to trust snape that we don't know.

They all get Saints season tickets in order to see Jamie Lyon doing real magic before he buggers off to Australia again at the end of 2006, at which they get really upset, start fighting again and abra kadabra each other to death until only Harry is left.

rowling was just trying to throw the readers off-track....

[Neil Pickup]

Indeed. However, there is now so much intrigued, crossed purposes, double-agency and fluffy allegiance that I'm officially bloody confused. I need book seven!

Also, in support of that theory - both are skilled Legilimens, so would have been able to 'talk' without words. R.A.B... either Regulus or Amelia Bones?
