December/January Debate: Has JK set herslef up for a fall?

You didnt read that properly, did you? I said they were too long so the editor wouldnt accept, then they cut it down and it didnt really work as well. And I read HBP in 25 hrs with long breaks, I have no problem with long books. read what i say properly before moaning, saratn

So let's get started!

Now personally, I'm thinking that there will be little payoff. My first problem with Book 6 is that it was slightly predictable. When JK killed off Sirius, I saw what she was thinking in the sense that she had to kill off people who were close to Harry and would ultimately help him defeat Voldey, I suspected that Dumbledore would be next, but I think his death was too forced. He died with too many unanswered questions for me.

Good point!! Thas why i cannot figure out weather snape is good or bad now dumbledore is dead. whats going on JK

ok..my idea on this is that dumbledore and snape planned it so i think snape is still good but he needed a reason to have voldemort trust him. killin dumbledore gets snape in again and he can tell the order whats goin on on the inside

me 2 🙂

What do you think Harry will do in book 7 after he proclaimed that he wasn't coming back to Hogwarts back in book 6? I'm also hoping that we see more action from Neville involving magical plantlife or something (since he is so good at Herbology). Also, do you think that the other magic schools from book 4 will appear or have a role in book 7?

Never

Yeah, I get the same impression too. And I must admit that for me, that'd be quite a disappointment. I mean, what is it going to be about, having everyone come back from the grave? Honestly, imo, if Dumbledore's not dead, not only will it be quite predictable, but it'll ruin the feeling of loss... and of course, of Dumbledore can defeat death, I wouldn't be too surprised if Harry beats Voldemort only with his help- not by himself.

In my opinion Snape is almost certainly a good guy, working for Dumbledore. I'm sorta 50/50 on if Dumbledore is dead or not. there is soooo much potential storyline and would make a great twist to learn he is alive, but It may cheapen his death and his survival may ruin some of the moral themes that can be drawn from the books (Or it may do the opposite and create more 🙂 ).

I would be happy if she kept Dumbledore dead or alive (Even though he was my favourite character in the books.) As for Snape, I hope JK didn't give into the obvious and made him a bad guy, I hope his character still has some depth and is still one of Dumbledore's men 🙂

I think that Snape is neutral anyway. But I don't think that he'll get all sappy and kill himself. I think that he's just doing what he's always done, doing what's good for him and him only.
