What do you think is going to happen in the next book? I'm personally hoping Rowling gives us a real war. The books have gotten so much better ever since she started killing people off! ^_^

Heh, I'm tempted to say all of the above.

Other) Rowling continues to be upstaged by Fanfic Authors who understand her plot and characters better than she does.

True dat

indeed. i've read quite a few.

Other: Dumbledore's an ex-Death Eater, or is killed off by Voldemort.

But I'm not hesitant to agree with Fiss.

Other) Rowling gets fed-up with the series and has a breakdown. Fiss is brought in to write the next book in less than 2 weeks!

less than 2 weeks? never! hehehe

i reckon other) Sirrius fights voldemort to save harry, but ends up failing, spurring harry on to further rage and the eventual death of Voldemort, 5 books later.

I could do it in 2 weeks...

If I had perfect speech-to-text software, 2 cases of Jolt, 1 case of Jolt expresso, and three cubic feet of Lemon Marange Pie Filler.

Of course...it would be pretty weird.

... And the problem with that would be?

(openly admits a lack of Harry Potter knowledge to comment on any more)

*pats Fiss on the back gently* There there now; I think it's time we had a rest, don't you think? Let the nice men in the white coats take you away...

LEMON OMAKE!!! LEMON OMAKE!!! We demand lemon omake!!!

Actually, on that note, if you don't mind a bit of horrible Snape-wang, probably the best long fanfic Senie and I have seen is called Roman Holiday. Check it out. I'll post the link when I'm at home and can look it up. Major lemon, but also an excellent story too.

I wonder if the board could do a giant fic called: Harry Potter - And The Jolted Up Crazies.

Could be a hit IMO...

Let's avoid jolting up Fiss, as my current proximity to him might mean I get covered in Jolt-splosions. Tasty, messy, and highly corrosive.

jolt explosions hah: fissy wouldn't waste jolt like that. now howabout this:


harry potter and the Jolt Elemental.

It's Kill Bill crossed with Wizards and Jolt. With a big pimpin soundtrack!

<Voldemort stares down at Harry from the balcony of a Japanese resturant>
"You really didn't think it would be that easy...did you?"

<Harry smirks, raising his wand>
"You know...for a minute there? I kinda...AVADAKADAVRA MUTHA FUCKA!"

I can't really tell, but I think that the only way Ron and Hermione will ever get together in this series is if: 1) one of them almost dies or 2) Harry dies. Malfoy becoming a death-eater seems inevitable, it's only a question of 'when'. Snape dying for Harry might happen, but Harry saving Snape seems out of the question. As for relationships, I'm still rooting for Harry and Hermione, so I guess that's my other. Or Hermione joining Voldermort, that might be interesting.

Oh, and Roman Holiday is superbly written and has a masterful plot. Here's the link: http://www.witchfics.org/anna/romanholiday/index.html. It has two additional sequels, both just as entertaining. Check em out sometime, eh?

Lady Senie

Rowling finished the series like two years ago. They're just releasing them slowly so as to milk as much money out of the series as possible.



Sirrius died in book 5. That pretty much rules that out.



1) Both of them have almost died more than once through the course of the series. Look at the logic: Ron and Hermione bicker like an old married couple, and Rowling has compared the two's arguments to the arguments between Mr. and Mrs. Weasley on no less than four occasions. Plus, in the fourth book, Ron noticed Hermione was female, and asked her to the Yule Ball (though was turned down due to a prior request). Not only that, but the intorduction of Ginny as the second female to the group who had a crush on Harry to begin with, is Ron's sister so that there is no chance for romance there, and recently broke up with her boyfriend; not to mention the fact that at the end of the fifth book Ron gave Harry a "pleading look" when Ginny waxed on about who she would date next and the fact that the eventual marriage of Ginny and Harry would lead to Harry beign part of the Weasley family, somethign that had been repeatedly noted as being a desire of Harry's throughout the books.

Harry saving Snape would parallel Harry's father saving Snape. There has been shown to be repeated parallels between Harry and Snape's relationship and James and Snape's relationship. To go a bit more into depth here, Snape also sees Malfoy as himself at a young age, and Harry as James at a young age. So I forsee Snape attempting to steer Malfoy away from becoming a Death Eater (a mistake Snape made and regrets). In keepin with that parallel, Harry would need to save Malfoy at some point.

Also, Hermione is muggle-born, thus making her unpalpatable to Voldemort as a follower (he only chooses pure-bloods). Not to mention that Hermione is probably going to become one of three things, 1) A teacher, 2) A healer, or 3) Join the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Muggle Affairs with Mr. Weasley.

sirius is not dead. at least not yet. he simply fell through a 1 way portal attached to an ancient magical artifac that if you lissten you can here the voices of the dead. besides, even if he is, the fanfictionverse sustains him.

If Fiss wrote the last book, I'd buy it. (Of course, it'd be the first HP book I actually bought. I borrow friends' copies.)

One thing I really would like to see is a bit more of the other houses. Especially someone who proves that Slytherin != Junior Death Eater. It really rubs me the wrong way that, from the way it looks now, the message Rowling is sending is that ambition and cunning are bad/evil. Of course, I know she seems to be emphasizing the racism of more prominant members of that house, but I'd like to see a character who got in because they exhibit the valued personality traits of the house, rather than family legacy.

It's entirely possible. There are a few characters who aren't much more than a name from the Sorting first year.

Very possible, and a major open opportunity for fanfiction that's generated some truely good stories.

I would definitely put a few 'good' slytherin in the story, and have more asshole Griffyndors. Especially in Year 4+, when puberty is hitting all these magical kids and messing with their heads.

in regards to the ron/hermione pir. you forget that in both the 4th and 5th book ron has been very.. err darker than normal. and just a tad cruel. i've seenon the order of 7 or 8 fics were he has become a deatheater.
