Harry Potter--Your Questions Answered

Don't read this if you haven't finished Book 7!

It amazes me how much is out there on the internet about this final book; people must be desperate to get their questions answered now that there are no more books to eagerly anticipate (though J.K. Rowling did say on her Dateline NBC/Today Show interview that she would probably be writing a Harry Potter encyclopedia of sorts that would answer all these questions!). Here is a link to a a transcript of a webchat that J.K. Rowling did on July 30 that answers a lot of questions, in particular one of my biggest questions, why Snape's portrait didn't appear in the Headmaster's Office by the end of the book.

Harry Potter 7 is Almost Here!

I didn't start reading the Harry Potter series until after Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was about to be published, so I was a latecomer to the Harry Potter phenomenon (and actually, I was lucky since I really have only had to endure the long waits for Books 5, 6, and 7!). And now, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows only a few weeks away, I am both eager to see how the series ends (Harry better not die!) and sad to know that the end is really here.

I don't have tons of predictions for the ending, although I do think Professor Snape is not truly evil, and if I had to venture a guess, I think either Hermione or Ron will be the major character that doesn't survive. Part of me hopes I am wrong; I would be quite satisfied if all of the "good guys" survive. I am pretty dorky when it comes to that; I love a happy ending!

Speaking of this book, I have not pre-ordered it yet, so I had better hop online and do that. Between now and then, I hope to reread all 6 books to date, so I am ready for the last chapter of the Harry Potter saga!

Happy readings!
