actually hermes was the greek messenger for the gods, not an owl.

All Harry Potter fans should really step up to the next level and try reading the Lord of the Rings. Even if you don't fully understand it, and you won't after having been sheltered by the Harry Potter stories, you'll have grown in a literary sense and will be able to leave behind such childish stories such as J.K. Rowlings quaint little excursion into the world of witches and wizards and pursue a deeper understanding of great literature, namely the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, and History of Middle Earth. Perhaps then you will see just how much you were missing out on.

just because people read harry potter does not mean they r not well versed in other areas of literature. i think thats a very unfair, very broad judgement u have placed on people here.

indeed. *glare*

i have read lord of the rings as well

did you like it?

So if Draco=Dragon I wonder if he could end up becoming an animagi and then it would be a dragon??? That would be weird...but cool.

no, i don't think he should.

WELL IT wouldn't be good to have him as a dragon...but i do think he will be an animagi....

Fudge, Cornelius - bumbling Minister of Magic
There was a pope named Saint Cornelius, whose reign was marked by the controversy over the lapsed (those under persecution who had renounced Christianity). Cornelius's leniency toward the lapsed drew the support of the bishop of Carthage, St. Cyprian, but aroused the opposition of the Roman priest Novatian. He was exiled, then martyred in 253, where he was succeeded by bishop Saint Lucius. (that's worth a shiver up your spine!)
"Fudge" can mean "to evade or dodge"

THIS IS REALLY WEIRD....ESPECIALLY IF LUCIOUS MALFOY WILL TAKE FUDGES SPOT...OR BRING HIM DOWN

hmmm...I am not sure i actually followed a lot of this conversation...
