She has, kinda. In book five, the whole "you should've come to me about the possession thing you dork!" chat. Harry (along with the rest of us) did gain a lot of respect for Ginny after that book, and Harry/Ginny would be fine with me. So would Ron/Hermione. So would Luna getting killed off.

I think if Harry ends up being able to still contact Sirus, Luna will have a hand in helping Harry learn how to communicate with him. Sorry not the most gramatically correct sentence but you get the point
You're probably right...
But I don't like the idea of Harry being able to contact a dead person!
Of course I want Sirius back, but if JKR wants to write realistic she shouldn't make it possible for her characters to have little chats to dead persons. If my godfather died I couldn't say "I'm bored, I think I call him and he can tell me what's up in heaven." In normal life death is death and there's NO way to talk to that person again (except all Christians who'll see him in heaven...) If Sirius returns I want him as a man, as a human and forever, not as a ghost or as a voice behind a veil. If JKR wants to make it possible for Harry to talk to Sirius again, she should bring Sirius back and let him say "haha, did you really think I was dead?! I didn't die, I just had to hide because/I was trapped because/I couldn't come back that moment because..."

yeah i'm not a big believer in my theory about actually being able to talk to sirus again, i was just thinking that IF he could that Luna WOULD PROBABLY have a part in it. But talking to dead people isn't something that happens, even in the world of Harry Potter
No, Sirius is dead. And should STAY dead. I liked the character but bringing him back would cheapen the impact of his death. And would teach Harry nothing.
Harry got lucky any number of times, and indeed some of the things he's done happened because of his own actions. The first book is a good example of this.
If Harry hadn't gone to try to "protect" the stone Quirrel/Voldemort wouldn't have been able to get near it in the first place.
Dumbledore's spell had protected beyond anything Harry could do, and his actions could very well have had the result of Voldemort's return.
And in spite of Dumbledore's little speech to Harry, Harry is as much responsible for Sirius's death as Lestrange.
Harry disobeyed Dumbledore.
Sirius's great great grandfather had it right, Harry has never been led into danger by listening to Dumbledore.
Book six and seven should show that Harryhas learned a valuable lesson, that of patience and the realization that his going off half cocked has consequences.
How right you are! I also think that Harry will be adult in the following books as he killed Sirius with his "I'm right and you are nothing" - attitude. He hopefully learned his lesson...!
I'm not sure whether Sirius is dead or alive but I'd prefer the death if could chosse between dead and ghost-Sirius. That would really ruin the story! But if JKR could find another convincing way to bring human-Sirius back, I would of course prefer that.
Well in book 6 we are supposed to find out something very IMPORTANT about Lily....didn't Lord V hesitate to kill her.......it's possible that she is his granddaughter or soemthing.........BECAUSE he too came from a muggle background...she might've been related to his muggle father..which would make sense since we know that Lily is not pureblood...ALSO...why would Petunia's face have gotten so frightened when she too had heard that name....maybe she doesn't want to tell her husband that she is related to the worst wizard ever, because he would surely leave her!!!! Petunia's always seeming like she is hiding from something...............
i dont think petunia is a squib, i dunno wpouldnt say that... i bekive her pearents were non-magical!
erm... sum1 said anything bout knockturn alley, i am REALLy sure the item lucius wanted to keep for himself will become more important! but i dunno why they cut it out of the film if it will be important.
yeah and we'll find out sumthing bout lily i think...
haha, is just love the Perseus Evans theory =)
Does anybody have any idea when the 6th book is coming out? I have just finished the 5th book and can not wait till the 6th comes out! And by the way it will be Harry and Cho in the end because she obviously fancies him and he likes her so the ending will be them too together!
