Sirius/Snuffles/Padfoot
Yo, I'm new and a proud Gryffindor!!
Tigzie
Heya Sirius/Snuffles/Padfoot!!
I aint been here long either, hows it goin'? Cool name by the way.
Before anyone else tells you, it's no one liners (sowwie just thought i'd letcha know)
So how are we on this fine night?
bluezz
Sirius/Snuffles/Padfoot, Bonjour and welcome cool.gif Hope you'll like it here.
Be careful with one liners, they are not allowed on this forum.

P.S. I really love your nick happy.gif
russian_phoenix

One liners are things that are just a couple of words, such as:
Hi, how is everyone?

You have to pad it out and make it longer, hope this helped biggrin.gif

Here's the link: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e232/blu...er/cc431d51.gif
Just put that into [img][/img].

By the way, russian_phoenix, you didn't answer my question wink.gif
russian_phoenix
Thanks for the url. I appreciate it! happy.gif

Sorry, forgot about your question when I was replying before.. No, I'm unfortunately not really Russian. I wish I was.. but I've just always been really interested in Russian culture/history/etc.
bluezz
russian_phoenix, *sigh* thought there was finally someone russian hehe =) Ah, well. Somebody'll show up eventually cool.gif

P.S. So what are we going to do with the competition?
Qwasd.
Just got sorted out and here I am now to bother you smile.gif so Hello to everyone.
Bumblebee
russian_phoenix, that looks great! Now, to make it a bit more mysterious, perhaps the translation should be visible for a shorter period than the Latin phrase ...

I still haven't found anyone who can check the Latin for me. Perhaps we should ask Jo Rowling? tongue.gif

Tigzie
Heyaaas Qwasd!!

Wassup? How are you today?? What does everyone think is going to happen in the next book? (just as a topic starter)
drhpluvr4l


Hey, everybody! I just got sorted into Gryffindor, and now I'm here (obviously). I'm gonna answer your question, Tigzie, in saying that I think Harry will defeat Voldemort and live, and then hook back up with Ginny.

I'm gonna check on my fanfic, so see you all later!

*~drhpluvr4l~*
Tigzie
Wicked! That's what i wish would happen too!!

Wow your fic? Coolie i shall have to check it out, i have one but no one reads it! Sucks rite?

Qwasd.
Hellloo Tigzie!
I'm feeling quite energetic even though it's 0:45 A.M. Thanks for asking smile.gif How are you?
And about the next book I can only make guesses and wishes.. I definately hope that any of the 3 (Harry, Ron, Hermione) wouldn't die, but who knows what J Rowling has in mind..
I'm also pretty sure that Harry won't be a horcrux.. go ahead and ask why I think so.. smile.gif
russian_phoenix
As much as I'd like to believe that Harry will defeat Lord Voldemort and live happily ever after with Ginny (hah), I really think Harry and Lord Voldemort will both kill eachother in a huge epic battle. It's always the way I imagined it would all end..

P.S.- Bluezz, what competiton are you talking about??
drhpluvr4l


What's your fic? I'll read it (everyone thinks theyr'e own fics suck, including me). Here's a list of my fics (I have a lot)...

Love...Hate...What's the Difference? (my current one)
Harry in America **Completed**
Hogwarts- the Very Beginning **Completed**
Sacrifices **Completed**
This Is IT **Completed**
Grace Potter **Completed**
Love and Anger **Completed** (this one really did suck cuz it was my last)

As you can see I clearly have way too much time on my hands, lol. I have to get off the compurter now, bye!

yeah, i'll pretty much go with that, i dont think that if he survived it'd be without strauggling immensely....

drhpluvr4l my gosh!!!! That a lot of fics! I shall check them out, mine's linked in my sig at the top!! Plz review if you read it, i'll try and get through yours!!
bluezz
Sorry to interupt, but shouldn't we talk about something more original? It's just the topic of how the story will end has been brought up quite a few times and was discussed at length in several other threads.

I modified the sig a little. That's the original one:
IPB Image

And this one is with the delay, like Bumblebee requested:
IPB Image

Bumblebee, I wouldn't want the delay to be too small. It woulnd't look good. Here, I made it 3 seconds on the Latin part here and 1 second on the English one.

russian_phoenix, read through the previous page wink.gif
Qwasd.
K. Tigzie.. you asked for this >:)) anyway.. First of all the classic, Voldemort wouldn't try to kill Harry IF he KNEW Harry was a horcrux.. and Harry being a horcrux would mean there were actually 8 of them ohmy.gif . Then if Voldemort made Harry a horcrux by accident? no.. I don't think so.. First of all the magic is so complicated.. not something done by accident. Second.. I think personally that Voldemort could actually be Harry's horcrux.. because the spell backfired right? I think that the protection Harry's mom gave to him would also kinda cover that.. or so.. hard to explain.. pls comment this theory.
Tigzie
That's really bloody clever!!!!!!! I would never have thought of that! Sheesh!!!

What do u thinkt he Hocruxes are then? Soz i better be off now and get som esleep but i'll comment back tomorrow yeah?
Tigzie x

(sorry Bluezz, it was just a topic of conversation for people that aint been here long, i'll check in future! smile.gif )
Sirius/Snuffles/Padfoot
Oh..Sorry about the one liner.. If I can't figure out what to say..I'll just shutup.gif

Yeah? And I think that Voldie had made seven, but maybe he just..Well.. Okay, I'm majorly confusing myself here blink.gif wacko.gif Sorry. I think that Harry is a horcrux and Voldie only wants him killed so that Harry won't destroy the others because, wouldn't he rather sacrifice one rather than potentially losing them all?
james pickles
Crickey I am gone for one day and look what has happened, I have missed so much. I am gonna put that sig in my signature. It looks great by the way. I think you are all amazing. biggrin.gif
russian_phoenix
Geez, well first I agreed with Qwasd., and then after reading Sirius/Snuffles/Padfoot's ideas about harry being a horcrux.. that makes total sense! I had never even thought about this before. Can someone refresh my memory about what horcruxes we already know and what some possible other ones are?
bluezz
Guys, I erased the sig I put up first, I messed up on that one a little. Here are the codes for the new ones:
The original:

With the modified delay:

Just put this in [img][/img].

For those interested in Harry being a horcrux, there is a huuuge thread dedicated to this here.
HP_RULES!
Wow, I posted earlier today and I come back later to find that I missed like two pages! You guys have been busy! Thanks bluezz for making it look a bit cooler, I like what you did with it. Oh, and since I see that we got a lot of new members I'd like to welcome all of them! I guess that's it.
Amyrat151
Wow, I haven't been here in forever, but I'm back, and I'm loving Gryffindor. Sirius/Snuffles/Padfoot, I think that the big hicth in the Harry being a horcrux is the prophecy, Harry would have to kill V-diddy and himself at the same time.
The sig motto are very cool.
*pretty in punk*
Welcome all new members! biggrin.gif

I'm gone for a few minutes, and we've already got a lot of pages(well, 2, but that's still a lot). Well, Harry being a horcux makes a lot of sense. I'm still not sure if Harry really is a horcux, but we'll all find out in book 7. I can't wait!!! Do you guys know that Stephen King begged JK not to kill Harry in the seventh book!

That's all I got for now, bye!

*pretty in punk* geek.gif
Amyrat151
Really, wow, I must admit, I'm not a very big fan of Steven King, I feel like he spends to much time on detail, I get bored very quickly.
I still don't think that Harry is a Horcrux, but I don't think it's the sname either, it's close to Voldermort all the time, but then again he did go into the snake's body very easly, so I dunno.
Spencer Potter
Harry is not a horcrux, There is not 8 horcruxes, there is 7. The locket, Nagini[most likely], hufflepuff cup, gryffindor something, the ring[destroyed], and I cant remember the other 2.
Qwasd.
I would like to bring up a topic which has been thought over and over in the forum and ask YOUR oppinnion on that.. Who do YOU think R.A.B actually is ? I do support the theory R.A.B being Regulus because the name Black is translated as Musta in finnish (meaning the color black) and R.A.B was actually R.A.M in finnish version, that would go to Regulus _____ Black and Regulus _____ Musta . :>

Thats the most logical thing... but one thing with JK Rowling is that you're always left guessing, i think there's something a bit deeper than that, but we just dont know what it is yet.....
Arya
Hello everyone! It's long time I don't post sad.gif
Anyway, as to R.A.B, it could be Regulus Black, but wasn't he a death eater? So it's difficult to immagine a death eater who wants to detroy his lord. What do you think?

However, just to say my opinion, Harry isn't a horcrux: Dumbledore tells Harry that when Voldemort went to Harry's home he had 6 horcrux. About Dumbledore LV made a horcrux after significative murders and with Harry's death he would made the 7th horcrux, but it didn't happen and, always in Dumbledore's opinion, the 7th horcrux is Nagini that murdered a muggle.

Then, someone told that LV will kill Harry because he wants to destroy his horcrux, but during a "secret lesson" with Dumbledore, he sais that Voldemort doesn't know when someone destoy a horcrux. Do you remember?
HP_RULES!
Arya: I think that the fact that Regulus was a DE makes it more likely that he would know about Voldemort's Horcruxes. Yes it is unlikely that a true DE would want to destroy Volemort, but Regulus was trying to back out. Since he knew he was going to die anyway, maybe he thought that he would help a bit first. No, Voldmort can't sense when a Horcrux is destroyed, but that isn't why Regulus was killed, it was because he was trying to back out and probably come back over to the good side. He could have thought he would do his share first, and the Horcrux may not have even been destroyed. I still think that it is at Grimwauld Place or with Mundungus, though he probably sold it and now he's in Azkaban so tracking it down is a definite problem. Anywho, I think Regulus is the most probable candiate, especailly because he ad Kreacher to help him out. Maybe that's why he's so insane. But I'll stop now.

bluezz: I agree that we should probably move on, though now I sound hipocritical since I just posted, but you could propose another topic if there's something else you wish to discuss. I'd love to hear more about the competition idea.
bluezz
Don't hate me for this, guys, but I think it is time we moved on to something else. Many of the Gryffindors have been on this forum a long time and have discussed these topics already. If you wish to continue sharing your ideas on the subjects, here are some references:
How do you think it will all end?
R.A.B.
What will the 7 horcruxes be?
Is Harry a horcrux?


Now, we obviously need a new topic to discuss. Since we are all Gryffindors here, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss the members of this house in the HP series. Who, do you think, still has a role to play? Who will they help Harry on his search for the horcruxes? Who will suffer from the everlasting rage of Lord Voldemort?
Here is the list of all the members (stolen from wikipedia once again). Feel free to share your thought on any of them.

Gryffindors:
Harry James Potter
Ronald Bilius Weasley
Hermione Jane Granger
Neville Longbottom
Lavender Brown
Seamus Finnigan
Parvati Patil
Dean Thomas
Fred and George Weasley
Lee Jordan
Angelina Johnson
Alicia Spinnet
Katie Bell
Cormac McLaggen
Percy Weasley
Oliver Wood
Ginny Weasley
Colin Creevey
Romilda Vane
Dennis Creevey
Jimmy Peakes
Natalie McDonald
Ritchie Coote
Andrew Kirke
Demelza Robins
Jack Sloper
Vicky Frobisher
Geoffrey Hooper
Spencer Potter
Hey thats pretty cool. There isnt alot of them but when you look at the table in the movies looks like there is millions, ah well. Nice steal! Go to jail! happy.gif
TheatreNerd0048
well i guess i'll start a new topic. so i'm curious about what's going to happen to Neville's parents. Do any of you think they'll ever wake up from their madness?

and i don't think we're done with hearing from Neville. i think he has some personal issues with some of the Death Eaters. What do you think will be his primary roll in the 7th book ?
Tigzie
Aha! We have two new topics, but i think that Neville will help Harry!!
Maybe there will be a clue to a Horcrux through Nevilles memory of his parents becoming insane? What does everyone else think?

bluezz
Unfortunately, I'm afraid Neville's parents will never regain their sanity. Once it is lost, it's lost. In the 16 years St. Mungo's wasn't able to do anything for them and I doubt that will change in the next year.
Neville, however, can play a huge part in book 7. So far, we've seen him grow from an unsure, self-conscious, clumsy eleven-year old to a much more confident and experienced wizard. Neville's character has become stronger and stronger with each book. It seems like it has been building toward a climax. I believe Neville, along maybe with the rest of the "loyal DA", will prove to be a big help to Harry in the future, standing by his side wherever he goes.
Tigzie
yeah i think the DA will play a huge part, especially now Dumbledore is dead. Do you recon that word will spread about the DA after the fight with the death eaters and most of Hogwarts will become a DA member?
Spencer Potter
Neville was always destined to be great like Harry Potter, maybe not famous.. But, you see what Im getting at. He is improving on his magic, hes more loyal and brave than ever and I think he will end up killing some Death Eaters. But only Harry will have to destroy Voldemort by the prophecy. happy.gif happy.gif

Ok I got another topic question.. Do you think Dumbledore (Although we know hes dead for sure because JK said so) will still be able to help Harry? Will his portrait be enough? laugh.gif
Tigzie
His portrait and the penesive!!! I recon dumbledore has left some important memories for Harry to help with his quest as a precaution if he did die!
james pickles
Yeah, he would have done wouldn't he, Dumbledore would have thought ahead, he was very wise and would have realised that if something would happen to him Harry would be alone in the quest to defeat Voldemort without wisdom. So he would have made sure his messages would be heard after the death.
bluezz
I think you are counting too much on the portrait =) JKR said in an interview - and I'm paraphrasing here - that the portraits are not wizards in a frame; they are more like faint memories of wizards, who exhibit their general behaviors, but do not think, provide new information, etc. This has been discussed at the M.o.o.o.p. thread, but I'm leaning toward Aberforth offering the little bits of advices that Harry will need. He is, after all, Dumbledore's brother. Maybe, in a way, DD will "communicate" to Harry through him.
The penesive, by the way, isn't much help either. It only provides memories - the most important of which Dumbledore already shared with Harry.

A few words on the DA - I didn't mean the whole DA, only a few members proved to be loyal and helpful to Harry. By the "loyal DA," I meant Luna, Neville, Ginny, Ron, Hermione aka all who helped him at the Ministry and in HPB.
Tigzie
Thats very true about the penesieve, and yeah there were only a few people that were actually loyal to Harry....

Hmmmmmmmmm. Well im spent i shall have to think harder!

http://www.geocities.com/milo_carson/spellslist.html


thats a really cool website that my friend found listing all of the HP spells. I think these are from the computer game but do you think Harry could use any of these to his advantage to overcome the Death Eaters and most importantly Voldermort?
bluezz
Tigzie, very interesting question that sparked another interesting question in my mind biggrin.gif (too many questions?)
We know that Harry tried to use the curse Crucio twice - on Bellatrix Lestrange and on Severus Snape. Do you think he will finally suceed in using an unforgivable curse in Book 7? What will be the consequences? How will that change him?

To answer your question, Tigzie, I think many of the spells on the list will be used. Which will prove to be the most useful? Those that Harry used fighting the Death Eaters in OotP and HBP. Off the top of my head - definitely expelliarmus, expecto patronus (dementors are on LV's side now), stupify..
Tigzie
I think that some of those spells would be useless against someone with LV's power, so obviously the 7th year spells might be a bit more useful than the rest.
I think Harry would probably finish off Voldie with an unforgiveable curse, but i also think this would be his downfall. Maybe this will be what tips him over the edge, after seeing LV return and Cedric die, having a look into Voldermorts actions etc.

However, i would love to see Harry use Tantallegra (makes target dance) on Voldermort. What a laugh!
russian_phoenix
Wow, you really do miss a lot if you don't visit the site for a day or hours at a time...

Bluezz, I personally don't think Harry will ever be able to use an unforgivable curse. He doesn't have that evil side in him. He's never wanted to really cause true pain and torture. The only person he's ever wanted to really kill is Voldemort.. but I'm wondering if he'll ever even be able to use the killing curse on him...
HP_RULES!
I don't know if Harry will ever be able to use an unforgiveable curse, but he's probably getting close. He has lost DD since he tried the last one, but I think it might take another death (as horrible as that is) in order to be able to kill someone. I don't think he'll ever use any of them other then Avada Kedavra again, and he doesn't have enough hatred yet. It might take another big death before he can really murder someone, a death that's 100% Voldemort's fault because that's the person he has to kill and he blamed DD's death on Snape and Sirius's on Bellatrix. As long as he only kills Voldemort there shouldn't be an consequences, but he'll probably try to kill Snape, though I don't think he'll be able to. Not because of the whole hatred required, but because he can't shut down his mind properly and Snape would be able to stop him.

On the spells issue, he'll probably use all the ones he has used in the past that have proved useful. Whatever he can think of at the time.
