Let the hokey lineage theroies, BEGIN!


Whoops. Too late......
Hey, what if DARTH VADER is Harry's father? That would explain his affinity for getting evil overlords pissed off! :wink:
Or maybe not.

Well, I'm looking really forward to see Dumbledore in action a bit more :)

The scene at the end of GoF was quite telling when Dumbledore burst into the room :mrgreen:

Another question begging to be answered is where all that money comes from Harry's got in the family vault...

His lack of action made him lose to Gandalf the Grey at www.gurdge-match.com.

Perhaps you mean:

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

While book 4 was quite good, I lost interest in the series when Rowling didn't write another boko for fucking YEARS. I'll probably read it at some point, but there's no driving ambition to ;(

Most likely character to die? No clue ;(

As far as information goes, he didn't directly confront Dumbledore even in his heyday, I don't know if he will now.

Doubtful, since in one chat session about what she tells actors, she mentions how she tells people of how many movies they'll be in(aside from other nick nack things)...and Dumbledore is in all of them is something she blantantly said.

Though of Rob Coltrane's length(Hagrid) on the other hand was very evasive of how many he'll be in.

I wonder if Harry's recollection is incorrect, though. When Voldemorte's wand was barfing up the old spells, Lily and James were recovered in the wrong order.

In regards to why James and Lily made a stand, I wonder if Dumbledore knew what was going to happen and sacrificed them in an effort to slay Voldemorte.

My money is already on Hagrid getting wasted.

That's the second time I heard that, but in PoA, Harry hears his mother dieing last, and in GoF his mother comes out before his father (as the wand is showing all the spells in reverse), so do I have a later more correct edition or something?

That really depends on whether or not you view Harry as being 'special' or 'important' or just a victim of circumstances (see earlier pages for more explanation). However since Dumbledore flat out volunteered to be the Potter's secret keeper, I doubt that he sacrificed them.

That is a known goof in the books. There are a few of them and this a big one. I believe it was corrected in the later printings.
