What? Outside of some interviews she never mentioned Dumbledore’s orientation. There’s nothing in the book to suggest much there except some creepy readings of Dumbledore’s and Voldemort’s relationship. (Which I’m sure she didn’t intend) It’s all pretty vague.

Interestingly she says there may be yet an other Harry Potter book. While I hated most of the movies I loved the book. I’m not sure it’s great philosophical fodder but it is interesting.

I do love the characterizations she makes though. For all the flaws in her treatment of magic and plot issues the root of the books is teenage angst and development. That comes out wonderful as Harry ages.

Hey, supergenious, who runs the show here?
I was thinking over the story today, so I googled “discussion” and the series to read what others had concluded. Its a pretty general agreement, looks like.

I think continuity means a great deal to the authot(not to mention, she knew how how many people would be annoyed if she didnt wrap up correctly).

She didnt want to be pinned down by accepted views, which is why I believe questions of morality are not to be accepted as “lessons” in the books.

The exceptions to this are when you can hear the vehement voice of the author in the books: Lupin’s proposed desertion of Ted and Dumbledore’s sexual orientation. She is prepared to lose fans to back these views, I beleive strongly.

Ginny’s role is kept to a minimum, partly because it would probably be unwelcome to introduce a new slant to the loved trio of Harry, Hermione and Ron. Everyone has, from the beggining of the series, been kept at bay(Sirius, Dumbledore, Luna).

The book is great philosophical fodder!! And it is right to expect children to realize that life is a huge compromise, and the best man is the unselfish man, not the one who is seduced by glory. And that the best of us can falter in that path(like Dumbledore), and must learn to overcome and subdue.

The charecter sketch that surpasses the rest is that of Voldemorts. His charector suffers in the last book because there is a deviation from that charector. It is much less impressive.

The element of surprise and presence of threat is superb, in the last book.

Thank you Joane K Rowling, for a wonderful reading experience that will stay with me for a long time. God Bless.

Harry’s fourth summer and the following year at Hogwarts are marked by the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, in which student representatives from three different wizarding schools compete in a series of increasingly challenging contests.
However, Voldemort’s Death Eaters are gaining strength and even creating the Dark Mark giving evidence that the Dark Lord is ready to rise again. In the unsuspecting lives of the young wizard and witches at Hogwarts the competitors are selected by the goblet of fire, which this year makes a very surprising announcement:
Hogwarts will have two representatives in the tournament, including Harry Potter!
Will Harry be able to rise to the challenge for the Tri Wizard Tournament while keeping up with school or will the challenges along with Voldemort’s rebirth be too much for the young hero?

i loved this book.the writing is excellent. there seems to be many questions surrounding the horcruxes. remember when voldemort tried to kill harry the first time,he had already made five horcruxes( i may be wrong). voldemort was gonna make another horcrux the night he tried to kill harry.voldemort never planned on making seven.their cant be eigth horcuxes. voldemort only killed seven times,therefore only seven horcruxes. harry was the ‘accidental’ horcrux.please correct me if im wrong.

I’ll answer you maria, if you’ll just stop using friggin caps.

You said “what was in the room of requirement”. I assume you meant what was in the locked room in the department of mysteries. It would have to be either love itself in that room, just like they had time in another room, or at least something to do with the protection that willing sacrifice puts on a person.

Dumbledore said Voldy couldn’t posses Harry, not the other way around. And the only reason Voldemort can’t is because Harry can love. Voldemort actually did posses Harry at the end of the Dumbledore-Voldemort duel in #5, but as soon as Harry started thinking about Sirius, Harry’s love hurt Voldemort and kicked him out.

Maybe your answers lie in the previous comments, since you said you hadn’t read the entire discussion yet.

Furthermore, the discussion is older than most discussions receiving comments, considering the forum is not dedicated to Harry Potter, only the thread is.

Sorry.

one thing,I want to know about is that in OOTP in climax scene harry n friends tried to open a door in circular room(department of mysteries) that did not open n Dumbeldore told Harry in the end that there is the power locked in that room which harry posses in such quantity that Voldemort could not posses him so my questions are:

#1:In HBP Dumbeldore told that it is only LOVE which saved harry then WHAT WAS IT IN THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT?is there any description or scene about that room in DH?

#2:If Voldemort could not posses him(accord to dumbeldore)then does’nt this statement contradict that Harry already possesed part of voldemorts soul
bieng horcrux?

VERY VERY SORRY IF THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IN DH BECAUSE I HAVE’NT ACTUALLY READ IT YET,EAGER THOGH I AM BUT IM STILL BUISY IN EXAMS SO ONLY RELYING ON DISSCUSSION N SUMMARIES.
