And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, Adventure.
Albus Dumbledore (The Half-Blood Prince)
Wait. I didn't mean your opinion of the Harry Potter books, per se. I meant, your opinion of some of the things that have transpired in the series and how they'll turn out. For example:
1. Is Harry going to be able to communicate with the former headmaster using the new portrait?
2. Apparently, Professor Snape has been a double-agent all along. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the Unbreakable Vow to finish Draco Malfoy's job should the little slime be unable to. So what do you think the reason was that made Albus Dumbledore so sure the professor would be loyal to the Order Of The Phoenix?
3. Ron and Hermoine stated that they are determined to help Harry in his pursuit of the remaining horcruxes. If, as he said, Harry doesn't return to Hogwarts, how will Ron and Hermoine be able to?
4. Who is R.A.B? If there has been no clue in the previous books, this seems a little odd since there's only one book left to go.
5. Who do you think is going to kill Greyback? I vote for Remus Lupin or Nymphadora Tonks.
So now it's your turn. If you answer those questions, you can post questions of your own by emailing me. I will put them in an update here.

1) I don't actually think it is them rather their personalities trapped in the picture. Not sure if he'll get anything of use
2) Snape is not a good guy and several members of an international SWAT team known as Rainbow are going to cap him
3) Young people say stupid things then look back on it a moment later and go 'well that was retarded'. I think he will go back to school, he'll just be going on adventures a lot too.
4) Well R is obviously for Rainbow, B is for Bravo Team, and A is for Aklev. They're orders for Rainbow. To Kill Snape
5) Both Lupin and Tonks
Madison:
1) No, it sounds like el twitten burg is going to ignore the good advice of her colleagues (Stephen King, John Grisham) and wack them.
2) Haven't you been paying attention? RAINBOW!
3) What's up with "Mergle" people talk weird.
4) The worlds will not unite, as el twitten burg doesn't want loose ends so that way no one else can write in Harry Verse. Uniting them would blow things wide open. And the Dursleys would kick Harry's ass.
5) That didn't cheese me off nearly as much as Harry not being able to communicate with him via the mirror.
jannin October 16, 2006 12:28 AM PDT 1. I think he will be able to communicate via the portrait, but maybe not until later in the book, because I think, as a plot device, Rowling wouldn't let Harry have all the answers right away. Plus, if he's not going back to Hogwarts, Harry probably won't have a lot of access to the portrait anyway.
2. I still think Snape's a good guy.
3. I don't think either Ron or Hermione will return to Hogwarts. However, I would see Molly forcing Ron to go despite what he wants to do, and I could see Hermione sticking with Harry, but doing her schoolwork anyway.
4. As aforementioned, a lot of people think RAB is R. Black, Sirius's brother/cousin/whatever. I am positive there has been some mention of him in previous books, since Rowling is always up with the foreshadowiness. So... other than Black... I can't think of anyone else, really. And that would explain why he was killed by Voldemort/the Death Eaters.
5. I think Greyback will kill either Lupin or Tonks, then the remaining one will kill Greyback. Or, to be completely random, FLEUR DELACOUR! Heh heh.
Questions of my own, eh..? Sure!
1. Do you think Ron, Hermione and Harry will all make it out of the last book alive?
2. Do you think Snape will make it out of the last book alive?
3. What's up with "Remember my last"?
4. Assuming the wizarding world and the muggle world will be united in the fight against Voldemort, how do you think the Dursleys will manage?
5. Who else is cheesed off about the fact that Sirius Black died via falling through a CURTAIN?!
