Wait, you're right. I forgot that they hadn't yet destroyed
the cup they got from Gringott's. Well played. I feel a bit
better about that Parseltongue mess, then.

Like Dale, I couldn't figure out what the fuss was after reading book 1. However, being curious, I'm glad for this thread as I now know how it all ended.

It is helpful, you know, if any other people want to engage you in conversation about it. :)

My dad occasionally forces himself to watch a baseball game for similar reasons.

i guessed a lot of what happened in it, i knew that Snape wasnt a bad guy. and that Malfoy would turn a little good.

When I first heard that Snape killed Dumbledore (remember I've only ever read the first book, although I know bits of what's happened since then from other people), my first thought was that it was done so that (Star Wars reference here) DD could join the Force and make it stronger, and that it was a plan hatched by the both of them to get SS closer to V.

Not too bad a guess, I now note.

:wink:
