Muchos apologies for missing Novembers debate guys! I'm not sure where Phoe is but school's been crazy, but to make it up to ya, we're going to have a special activity here. But here is the nominations for the December debate, happy voting!
Here is Ush's idea for a debate, I couldn't get a question out of it. So here is his explaination:

I think a but of 'meta-debate' would be nice. Rather than arguing out a plot-based subject- nwhich is turning up pretty thin lately- a debate about the process behind the plot.
For example, I think it would be interesting to discuss if Rowling made a mistake in the whole 'Snap kills Dumbledore' thing. The dramatic advantages are obvious- but hasn't she rather painted herself into a corner? Debate about Snape is now so rampant, and everyone so set into one camp or the other... but there is no hidden 'third' option; either Snape is on one side or the other (at least when he killed DD, anyway), and inevitably people are going to be disappoitned either way.
I worry she has set up a payoff here that she will never be able to deliver.
I really like it! This leaves the door opened to a variety of topics for us to debate about. You could talk about Snape and what JK did with him, Dumbeldore's death or book 6 overall. Do you think the payoff for Book 7 will deliver?
Happy voting!
