The truth revealed! I will reveal who the two characters are that will be killed in Deathly Hallows! Turn away now if you cannot bear the awful truth! :o
Evil Revealer wrote:The first to perish will be Neville. I never liked Neville, so he just has to die. What happens is that Neville gets Ginny pregnant. This scotches any potential relationship between HP and Ginny, as hinted at in previous books. In a fit of self-righteousness, Ron kills Neville. (YAY) The Weasleys circle the wagons to protect Ron, as well as Ginny's basmati child. Neville's granny has a coronary.

The second to die is Draco Malfoy. He is painted as the sucker, Rowling's Judas. He cannot but die. HP does the goody-goody act and offers to spare Draco, but in a fit of adolescent pride, Draco forces the issue, death-by-cop as it were, and must be put down like a mad dog in the end.

Voldemort (played by Tom Riddle) appears to suffer a mortal blow, but we are never quite certain. This leaves Rowling an escape clause, in case she has to write another Potter novel to finish paying off the new palace.

:wink:
Don't say I didn't warn you. Now, go ahead and read your stupid book if you must. Ha!

Am I the first one back from the party???
There were some very odd goings on at Last Drop Village in Lancashire tonight!!! :o ......even "mad eye Moody" put in an appearance! Even saw a dementor or two!...you never can tell what goes on in these little out of the way places! Be afraid!!!............................(and yes, the hair *is* real!...and Mad-Eye *is* six feet six!!)

So, I arrived and had the customary glass of dragon's blood....
Image


And then wandered off to visit Flourish & Blott's....
Image


And who should show up, just as I was coming out of F&B's, but old Mad-Eye himself...
Image

Now then... down to some serious reading! ;-)

Cass.

Wow, Cass!
excellent pics!! Wish I'd been there...

We're going to take off for our local bookstore in about an hour.
They're supposed to have all sorts of activities there and we'll be meeting some friends. :D

Professor Sprout and Mandrake

Image

Prof. Sprout is attacked by a Dementor.
As you can see, Sirius Black has come back in another form, but he is of no help.

Image


The cry of the Mandrake has no effect against Dementors! Aaaaaaah!!! :o

The Sprout lady is missing her earmuffs! :o

I got the first one at Wally World tonight! Pre-ordering is a good thing... no-one in costume... and hey, doesn't Lucius Malfoy's animagus just fit him to a T??

Caroluna, the pictures are great, and that mandrake is fantastic! Hope everyone had a good time last night. :party:

I sent Innocent Bystanders' broom back on it's way home. I wonder if it got there OK?? :lol:

Seriously. I carelessly clicked a Google link yesterday to reveal a blog on which someone had posted a photo of the last page with certain things highlighted. Luckily I don't focus very quickly and quickly did away with the page.

So, I'm warning you--be careful out there!

My Hazel Besom is back in its usual place, thank you. I don't know why it dressed itself up with that ridiculous bamboo stave. Getting into the spirit of things, I imagine. Bamboo is a grass, not a tree. Next it'll be telling me it's into Voudoun. But it looks like everybody had fun, so good!

I love the dress, BTW. I've always been a sucker for those 12th Century fashions. And you can get a really big hanky up those sleeves.
