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.

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 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!
