****THIS HAS A LOT OF SPOILERS - DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW****
I was really happy to get the latest HP book this weekend. I, like thousands around the world, were waiting with baited breath to get this book. I read it through the weekend, and I was not at all let down by this book. Though it was a lot darker than the previous 4 books... and we knew that was bound to happen with Voldermort being back in the flesh. I liked that we saw how all this pressure, of everything, is getting to Harry and that he isn't just able to deal with it. He's blowing up in anger and rage, and having to learn that there are consequences to actions. Ron and Hermione are such wonderful friends, and there are so many more that come to the plate to bat for Harry throughout this book. And teaching a Defense Against the Dark Arts class to all these other students shows some promise toward his future. I think that he would make a wonderful teacher... and I also think that he would make a great Auror. And when McGonagall said that she would do everything in her power to make sure that if that's the road he wants to take, than she will help him... wow. That just blew me away. He has so much support. I'm really interested in seeing what happens in the 6th book between Harry and Draco. He definitely is upset over his father being arrested, and named as a Death Eater. I love "seeing" the scenes between Ron and Hermione. They fight like a married couple. I know that there are a lot of people out there that want Harry with her... but I really don't think that JKR is going to take that route. I was practically devastated when Hermione was unconscious near the end. I was praying that she was not the "main character" that JKR told us would be killed off. Though, I did NOT expect that it would be Sirius either. I'm saddened for Harry, because Sirius was a father to him... and a place for him to go and have that home that he's always wanted. So, it's back with the Dursleys, and another awful summer. Hopefully the Weasley's and Hermione will rescue him early on.
well sirius was my favorite character and i knew about the 'main character who is killed' there were three main times where i thought sumone was gonna die, mr. weasley, hermione, and harry's "vision" of sirius.... i liked the book but i was soo sad when i found out that sirius was killed ;_; i wonder if harry has a god mother.... i mean sirius was his god father...hmmm... the book was a lot darker and i really hated umbridge and i got so mad when harry found the mirror sirius gave him at the end of the book -_-... why didnt he use that to contact him instead of going to umbridges office and using floo powder!!!!!!!!! well... im done ranting... :: sob sob :: poor sirius....

I'm not sure why... but I read an interview with JKR, and she said that it was all a part of the plan for the next two books. She didn't even like doing it (She cried when she killed him) but she has something planned, and needed him to be dead, I guess.
im sure that when jkr killed him off she had an idea of how the readers would react, so taking that in mind, im sure that she had a good reason for it...

Hey! i just thought of sumting. Maybe in the other books harry gets REALLY depressed. He would let voldemort kill him so that he can be with siriut. The phrophecy Did say that 1 cannot live without the other alive. So harry cannot live while HIMSELF is alive or sumtin like that. So making sirius die maybe can cause harry to act as if his life is over.

I just do not see JKR taking that route. Harry isn't going to give in. He is going to fight against Voldemort for everything that has been taken from him.

i agree with that plus... if jkr let harry give in and voldemort survive, then she would have to write sumkind of epilouge saying if voldemort was able to continue with his reign of darkness or if some other wizard was able to defeat him, but i dont see her doing that cause if that was the way she was going to write it she wouldnt have spent so much time on the voldemort/ harry fight if she was just going to end it with one of them giving up, the way i see it is that neither of them will give up, but that it will be a fight till death.

Most definately, a fight to the death. I don't think that anyone could kill those two. It has to be at the "hands" of Harry and Voldemort to kill each other. I would hope that JKR will have Harry win in the end... but who knows. I can't see her choosing to wipe out Harry at the end of the 7th book. That would be highly disappointing to me.
can somebody explain to me why Harry stated in Chapter 37 that he would never forgive snape no matter what dumbledor said? Didn't snape alert the others to Harry's last vision? I just can't understand.
Originally posted by tlrt I hope Harry starts treating Malfoy like James treated Snape. Malfoy really deserves it.
Harry didn't like what he saw when he looked at Snape's memory of how he was treated by his father and godfather, and even his mother. I don't think that he would do the same thing. It really upset him to see people that he looks up too, even if they aren't here anymore, and he never knew his parents. As a child, you see your parent's as idols... well, most kids do. You don't think that they do wrong. You trust in them.
The way Harry treats Malfoy is better than the way that Malfoy treats him. He stands up for himself against Malfoy. He doesn't intensionally go looking to start trouble with Malfoy.

Yes, Snape did get the Order of the Phoenix and warn them about Harry's vision, and they showed up in time to save him. But, Snape treats Harry with no respect. It's obvious. Look at him giving Harry those lesson's to block his dreams, and the attitude that Snape takes toward him. If I was with someone that much, I would have to ask them WHY they always treated me the way they do, and if there's something that I'm doing that's causing it. I would want to rectify that situation, immediately. I think that Harry understands now, why Snape is the way his is toward him. Because of how his father treated him. And, I think that it was almost as if Snape had feelings for Lily, especially when she stuck up for him. Harry doesn't want to forgive Snape... but I'm hoping that by the end of book 7, they will come to a truce between the two of them.
