Thanks girls (I'm assuming you're both girls )! Well, ever since the first HP book came out, I was HOOKED! My mom read the first 4 to me (I was still pretty young), and when she finished the 4th one, I cried cause it was over, and I made her read them all over again! Since then, I've read the first 4 at least 4 times each (including when my mom read them to me), and I've read the 5th 2 or 3 times. I CAN NOT WAIT for the 6th book to come out!! Oh--and I was DEVASTATED when JK Rowling killed Sirius!!!! He was one of my FAVORITE characters! But I don't think he's really dead...there was too much mystery surrounding his death. I hope she doesn't kill Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, or Dumbledore in the 6th book, but it's probably pretty likely she will. Also, I wonder who the new minister of magic will be. Cause I read there will be a new one. I'm also excited for GoF to hit theaters! It looks a lot better than the 1st three movies (I personally did NOT like the PoA movie!)! Well, I think this rambling post has come to a close

PS--Do we have a banner btw? if we don't, I could make one

Yes, I'm a girl!

We have a banner, I'm not sure if I posted it or not, I'll go check.

I didn't really like the PoA movie, either.

I think that the new Minister of Magic should be a Ministress of Magic! Madam Bones would be cool.

**I'm an elf now!**

EDIT: Here is the club banner, made by ViviElessar. i have had it for a while, I just forgot to post it.

Here are some predictions that I found on MuggleNet.com. I think they express some of my thoughts on book 6.

-Neville Longbottom is a character that I think we can expect some really big things from in HBP. You know he is motivated by what the Death Eaters did to his parents, and he was showing tremendous progress in the D.A. He also showed a lot of bravery charging into the Ministry of Magic with Harry and company. He breaks his wand in OotP, and we learn that he has been using his father’s wand since his first year at Hogwarts. As we know, a wizard gets best results when using their own wand. Not having his own wand could have been part of the reason why Neville was a substandard wizard before OotP. Now that he has his own wand, I think you’ll see him develop into a very powerful character.

-The Harry/Draco rivalry is going to reach new heights in HBP. Harry busted Lucius, and Draco is going to be out for blood. Something big is brewing with Draco and his now-to-be-newly-active mother, Narcissa, but whatever it is, I don’t see them being able to cause Harry major damage while he is at Hogwarts, under Dumbledore’s watchful eye.

-Percy Weasley is going to be forced to see just how terribly wrong he was. Molly Weasley is going to want to forgive her son, so look for an attempt on her part towards bringing him back to the family.

-The romance of Harry Potter. One of the most heatedly discussed areas of the books. In Book 6, I'm not sure if think we will see somebody linked romantically to Harry. But if so, how close is Harry going to let this person get to him, though, knowing that he could be putting them in danger, as he is the only person who can destroy Voldemort? I’m also going on record to say I think that this will be the book where Ron and Hermione finally get together.

-There is going to be a new DADA teacher in HBP, only I have no idea who it could be. I’m almost 100% sure whoever is the DADA teacher in HBP will not be the DADA teacher in Book 7. We are destined to have 7 different teachers. That’s just the way it is.

-Harry had a bit of an attitude problem in Book 5. I think that will be gone in Book 6, as he saw everybody was trying to help him out after all, and the world wasn’t out to get him. However, he is still bound to be emotional, just not cranky. He just lost his godfather, and now knows that he, and only he, can bring down Voldemort. Most kids his age are worrying about pimples. He is going to be a lot more contemplative as well. I don’t think he’ll rush into things the same way he used to, knowing that A) Voldemort knew he would rush to be the hero, and used that against him to kill his godfather, and B) if he rushes into anything and gets killed, the wizarding world is screwed.

-Wormtail is up to no good. This little rat (pun intended) was conspicuously missing from all the dealings of OotP, and in HBP we will find what he has been up to, and whatever it was is bound to cause chaos. One thing to keep in mind, though; he owes Harry big time for saving his life. At some point in either Book 6 or 7, he is going to have a chance to re-pay Harry’s debt and help redeem the terrible travesties he has brought upon his former friends.

Only 9 days till HBP!!!!!!

I haven't checked this thread in awhile... opps.. um... but I can't wait until HBP!!! If someone does die i'm thinking it might not be a main person but like someone in Griffindor or something... I still can't believe she killed off Sirius though... he was, is my favorite...

Thanks for the banner and predictions Varda!!

Don't thank me for the banner, thank ViviElessar. You're welcome for predictions, although I didn't make those, either. If you go on MuggleNet in the 'pensieve' section, they are there.

Just out of interest, why do so many people hate the POA movie?

I didn't say that I hated it, I just didn't like it that much. They left out the who the Marauders were and the Quidditch Cup. Oliver Wood was one of my favourite characters, and they completely left him out also, although it was his last year. I also didn't like what they made Hermione wear when they went throught the Womping Willow. A pink sweater and rainbow belt isn't a Hermione thing. However, they did give her that long coat in the Hippogriff scene, and I think that was what Hermione would wear.

I didn't like it because it barely resembled the book! Also, the whole Dumboldore-hippie thing REALLY made me mad! What the heck was the point of that?!?!

I don't hate the movie I thought that it was great movie(moviewise). They didn't based it very well on the book, but It's my favorite HP movie by far

yeah I don't hate the movie... I just didn't like it as much as the others. Because it was a different director...they had the muggle-like clothes all the time... which I wouldn't think they'd really wear, specially what Hermione wore... but they left out some good scenes... It was a good movie though.. might be my favorite HP one...

I liked that they wore muggle clothes, but this:



explains my thoughts about the clothes.

I wonder who is that girl besides Ron and Hermione...
It kinda looks like Ginny but at the same time it could be Lily

I'm saying Ginny. Thanks for sharing that!
