Busy bees
This is what Amelie will look like in another 3 years...heh...
As it happens, we too have managed to score a copy of the final Harry Potter manuscript, so we know that the book ends with Harry Potter, Ron and Hagrid all eating onion rings in a diner while an over-sincere 1980s power ballad plays in the background. As Hermione attempts to parallel park outside, a man walks into the bathroom and then suddenly everything goes black.
I'm working, working...i'm not ready to post anything yet, I've got more to do...up late last night, finished HP5 on the iPod, had to delete it and add HP6 now...I've been watching the HP5 trailer and the movie looks fantastic...everytime a book or movie comes out, I get all Harry Pottered...was reading this synopsis (again) - if you haven't read books 5 or 6, you don't want to go there...read the books first, the synopsis wont make any sense...I won't call it 'spoilers' per se, since the books have been out a few years now, its not like I'm revealing new info about the story...besides, the site is full of speculation on how the blogger thinks the clues are adding up, its not J.K. Rowling saying anything definite...I do enjoy reading what other folks think the clues say, since I get kinda confused and wound up in it...
I liked book 5, not as well as book 4, but I really disliked book 6...well, I guess I felt that it just kept saying the same thing over and over and over and nothing was really revealed...yes, Voldemort came from a crappy family...he was unloved...Harry was loved...Snape was bullied in school...so he became a great potions master who created lots of wicked spells...and- that's about it...what else? nothing really...still, I keep going back, re-reading them, and I think Rowling is a wonderful writer...I'm curious to see where she goes next, if she continues with new books in the HP realm (there's loads of stories to tell about other characters, a whole world of wizarding that has nothing to do with Harry...)Or, will she create a whole new world in a new land with new people? I would love to see a series of all the BAD wizards - show us more Malfoy and the bad guys...I look forward to what comes next...and I am in the camp that doesn't think Harry dies at the end of the story...how can she create a hero who has to go thru so much and then die at the end? I can't see it...she'll have him live on, after banishing the evil and saving the wizarding world...I think Snape will die and I dunno who the other person is...prob not Hermione or Ron...we shall see next month...I'll take a few days off to read the book cause I KNOW folks will be putting the spoilers out as soon as they can...talk about evil!
