    Gimp...:p Um...I like Sirius for being a wild card, Snape for his general Snapishness and I also love Luna.

    I think Percy will bite the dust in the last book, I think he'll do something heroic to redeem himself, but die doing whatever it is.

    I think it is a little too predictable, almost like
    Spoiler:
    expecting Slightman to die heroically in Wolves

    And I love Luna, too!

    Weeeell, I guess it is, but theres a great theory that someone on DT.net (apologies to the poster, I've forgotten your name!) came up with which predicts that someone with a connection to the colour red would die in the last book, which could be any Weasley or Hagrid (Rubeus meaning red). I don't think Hagrid will go and Percy seemed the most obvious choice to me.

    I'm currently about half through my umpteenth reading of Order. I just got a proof of Blaze, so I may put Harry on hold while I read that, but I WILL have all the HP books read by the time the last one comes out. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

    I actually expect Hagrid to die... but I think Percy has a target on his chest too. He's got to suffer some sort of consequence for his actions at this point, and I think it'll be an extreme one.

    I just finished The Prisoner of Azkaban. What an amazing, well-written book. It was filled with suspense and I literally couldn't put it down. Now I'm super excited to start The Goblet of Fire tonight.

    My favorite part from the ending: Ron calling the telephone a "fellytone".

    Ah, comedy Ron. Softens the fact that the movie Ron is a ... well... you know.

    Still keeping up with my chapter a day. It's mildly diverting my attention from my routine morning commuter rage.

    Remus Lupin is my favorite character in the series. I like Sirius, too, and would dearly love to see a Marauders-era series. Too bad it'll never happen. Sigh. Third favorite is Ginny.

    you know, i gotta confess my love for voldemort... and i think it's because of book six. i just hope he's not
    Spoiler:
    like The Crimson King, pathetic and not much of a character, all hype and no substance
    too disappointing, because other than the 1 brief fight with harry, and then the battle with dumbledore, and maybe a few flashes in the pensive... we haven't see how 'evil' he can be. and i just don't feel that J.K. could get away with the kind of violence associated with pure evil in a 'kids' book.

    i want to see him take out hagrid in the worst way.

    Remus Lupin is my favorite character! I am, in fact, partial to all them teachers (maybe because I'm one myself).

    And I confess I love Hermione! Like I always was alone to love Susannah, I'm afraid I'll be alone here, too...

    Not for me, I believe she is my favorite among the "kids" of the series.

    Hermione has always been one of my favorites. I love how she deals with Ron. Like when she attacked him with the birds.

    J. K. Rowling doing a midnight signing, read about it here:

    The Official Bloomsbury site:

    Thought I'd throw this up here as well as in the collectors forum.

    Potterhead here....
    I'm anxiously awaiting the final book to come out as well as the new film. I'm getting all geeky about it, too.

    any speculations? any theories, before it's too late? We don't have that much time.

    Sure. But these two kinds of mental activity can be done quite separately.

    For example, talking about Snape. There's a theory that he was on our side till the end, and
    Spoiler:
    when Dumbledore said his final "please...", he was asking Snape to kill him, - since his game was up anyway - not to make young Malfoy a murderer (also to kill a few other birds with the same stone).
