Harry Potter Fans

Harry Potter is a pretty cool series. Never read the books, but the movies are great. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite. Sirius Black is fucking awesome.

The books are better. Altough nice, the movies completely mutilate Rons character.

Have any of you heard that J. K. Rowling is or already created another book (in Rita Skeeter's perspective) when all the Harry Potter people grew up and all?

Yeah the books are better. I didn't read all of them though. I'm going to read the Deathly Hallows this year. Do you know how many pages it is?

I only have the finnish edition, but that one is 828 pages. It's not as long as the Order of the Phoenix.

[Dead Names]

Not much to explain, really. After being lured into the Department of Mysteries via Harry's dream of Sirius being tortured, the Order shows up to fight the Death Eaters. Arthur was initially intended to be the only casualty, not Sirius.

Oh nah, that would have been huge. Maybe Rowling really wanted us to cry and be all depressed since we all obviously have this huge connection with Sirius.

Yeah, she had this vendetta against all of Harry's father figures. She killed James, Sirius, Lupin, and Dumbledore. In the end, Arthur was the only one of them to actually survive (some would argue Hagrid was a father figure but I always saw him as more of a weird uncle).

[Carynthia]

I don't think Hagrid gets father-figure status or even avuncular status. He's too childlike; basically a prefect for the forest, another student.

Very well said. He seems to get himself into as many hijinks as Harry and company.

[Russian Socialist Soviet States]

Is Harry Potter Jewish?

[Hermione Granger]

Have any of you heard that J. K. Rowling is or already created another book (in Rita Skeeter's perspective) when all the Harry Potter people grew up and all?

Not a whole book, but she did release a brief article to that effect.

[Carynthia]

Is Harry Potter Jewish?

Yes, he wears a yamaka and the entire series is about Kabbalah-magic and Maccabees.

[Conkerials]

I'm a RavenPuff. c: Luna is best, tho.

[Gollifray]

"The Harry Potter fandom? After all this time?"

lol I know right? I was surprised myself.

That is NOT the right way to finish the quote! *sigh*

I'm not sure I have a favourite character. I probably do, just not consciously.

The books are so much funnier. Sure, a lot of the films have bits that I feel come close to the general tone but I think they're, on the whole, significantly more dark and serious.

Luna is my favourite. Don't have a favourite house though, I like all of them except the filler house sometimes known as Hufflepuff. Sadly, that's where I would propably have been sorted.

Go on pottermore.com, sign up and find out! I thought I was going to get sorted into hufflepuff too but I got into Ravenclaw.

Slytherin. Not that I go on Pottermore much these days (the last time was when that Rita Skeeter article came out).

I've never really been too fussed about Sirius. This is plausibly because I've only read Azkaban once due to having lost my copy pretty much immediately afterwards (same story with the second book).

I'd be lying if I said my love for Sirius wasn't at all influenced by Gary Oldman's portrayal.

[Nazis in Space]

I love how J. K. Rowling made it such a huge twist in the end. I was like SHIIIITTTTT WHAAATTTT. I cried when they showed Snape's past. James Potter was an arsehole.

I always liked Snape, but when we got his backstory I really loved him, because his story reminds me of my own

You were a card-carrying KKK member who merrily defended the attacks of your fellow KKK members against negro students to your black girlfriend for whom you made a singular exception in your blatant racism while calling everyone else who was like her a dirty nigger, too, then you called her a dirty nigger as well (While outside the school, there was a lynching every other day), which led to you two breaking up, then you willingly told your grand wizard that a newly born child is a threat to his reign, knowing fully well that you're condemning a family complete with their newborn child to death, then found out that said child happened to be the child of your ex, which led to you begging said grand wizard to please leave your ex-girlfriend alive (But killing the father and the baby was totally fine, of course), then you walked up to... I don't know, Abraham Lincoln maybe, and told him that you were willing to spy for him against your friends and the grand wizard as long as your ex-girlfriend was kept alive (But hey, the father and the baby were still free to die)...

... And when all that was over and your ex-girlfriend and her family were all dead because you were totally cool with condemning a child to death, you took a job as a teacher and rather than - as your predecessor did even at the height of the lynch-mania out there - being impartial and supporting students based on their talents and work ethic, you opted to blatantly discriminate against children who didn't have ex-KKK parents, happily helping to plant the seeds for the next lynching epidemic?

What? That's precisely what Snape was and did, only with a fantasy- rather than RL background.

Eh. I felt Ron didn't need much mutilating anyway. He was never a very interesting character to me, especially in GOF and HBP.

This, my friend, is going in the awesome quotes thread.

[Blekksprutia]

My favorite character was always Sirius. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Rowling's biggest mistake throughout the entire series was getting rid of Sirius as early as she did.

Siriusly!!! <-- see what I did there? lol sorry I'm corny. I forgot about Sirius. His death was by far the worst. Man, I loved that guy.

Same, does anyone hate Bellatrix far more than Voldemort?

[Destiny Island]

Yay a thread!
I live in Florida and just recently went to Universal, and Diagon Alley is soooooooooooo accurate. It's everything I wished for.

[Zelacraux]

I'm sorry I let you dowwwnn!

Not a whole book, but she did release a brief article to that effect.

You can find it online right? The whole thing? Cause I read that. I thoguht she might have a book on it. That would've been cute, just this tiny little book.

[Zelacraux]

Oh nah, that would have been huge. Maybe Rowling really wanted us to cry and be all depressed since we all obviously have this huge connection with Sirius.

LOL I would want to know someone like Hagrid though. He's such a cutie like he takes care of all these deadly animals AWWHH

Are you sure?
Well, the Order of the Phoenix in English version is like 700 something pages. But thanks anyway.

READ THE OTHER ONES! And have you seen all the movies?
His death broke my heart. I couldn't get over it. I was literally screaming at the screen (at Bellatrix) for killing Sirius.

[Zelacraux]

I actually kinda like her cause she's super badass and like I don't know if any of you noticed but right after she killed Sirius, she had this look on her face (for like a second) that showed she realized she killed her cousin and she must've been all like , "shit. what did I do?" and went back to her normal deadly self.
