Brendan Gleeson is a big guy with red hair. He was in Cold Mountain (Zellweggers dad), 28 Days Later (the bird got him in the eye), Troy (the guy who Helen cheated on with drippy Orli).... Miranda Richardson was in The Hours (Nicole's sister), The Prince and Me (the Queen), Phantom of the Opera (Madame Giry).... Ralph Fiennes you probably know from the horror that is The English Patient, Red Dragon and the pure evilness that is a J-Lo picture- Maid in Manhattan.... Oh and i love David Thewlis- i thought he was a great Lupin (and Lupin is my second favourite character after Sirius so he had a lot to live up to in my mind) Strange how I've not seen one of those movies... And whooo 4 nights to go... Yes that is strange. |

I so think Dumbledore is going to die in this one. Or I hope he does anyway... He really got on my nerves in the last speech in no5.
Oh and out of those movies, I do own Red Dragon, it's sitting on my shelf unopened. Does that count for anything?

The new pope has come out and declared how blasphemous and evil Harry Potter is again.  How is Dumbledore a baddie? |

LOL I heard about that. There was an article in the SMH. I didn't bother reading it though. And I can't be bothered...but it was something about it encouraging witchcraft or something I imagine

I just think its going to be the big twist. I have no real proof apart from 'a vibe' ;)and that one sentence in Goblet of Fire which i can't remember right now. I'll look it up when i get home and post it tomorrow....

Ok after the tri-wizard cup and Harry has faced Voldemort etc. Dumbledore takes him to his office and..... Harry says- "...he could touch me without hurting himself, he touched my face." For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes (GOF Pg. 604) See a baddie just waiting to happen...... or possibly my over analytical mind going a little far  |

I think its you overanalysing my dear.
Anyway I found out some spoilers, which I'm going to post cause the book is out tomorrow anyway. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ THEN GO AWAY. However this info can all be found on JKRowlings site but yeah...
Random facts about the book
We will learn a lot more about Voldemort in this book.
HBP will be an intense book, but with light-hearted moments.
Harry will leave Privet Drive early again, for a "much pleasanter" reason than in book 5.
The opening chapter of book 6 was originally planned for the early parts of book 1, perhaps we get a more in-depth story of what happened the night Harry's parents died.
Neither Harry or Voldemort (including Tom Riddle) are the Half-Blood Prince
Arthur Weasley will not be the new Minister of Magic
By the ends of books 6 and 7 "you'll have all the back story you'll need", says JK Rowling, and a prequel will not be necessary
There will be a new Minister of Magic, no more Mr. Fudge.
We will find out what happened to Hagrid's half brother Grawp. He will be a bit more controllable in book 6.
The Dursleys are in the next book, but Harry's stay with them will be the shortest yet. In book 5 he stayed for 4 weeks, so we know his stay will be less than 4 weeks.
Cho Chang will not be a romantic interest of Harry in Book 6, however there will be a "little romance" for Harry says JK.
In books 6 and 7 we will find out exactly why JK killed off Sirius.
Harry becomes even more powerful in book 6.
In books 6 and 7 we will find out why Dumbledore trusts Snape.
We will find out what happened to Wormtail AKA Peter Pettigrew
More about the animosity between Snape and Sirius will be revealed in the last 2 books.
JK has said that giving away the form of Snape's boggart and patronus says too much. We'll definitely find out what Snape's worst fear is, and it'll be important.
Hermione and Draco will NOT end up together in book 6 or 7.
We will find out what exactly Dudley saw when he looked at the dementors.
The reason Voldemort and Harry both didn't die when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, will be revealed.
We will see more of Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, now that Lucius is busy.
We'll learn more about Harry's scar in the last 2 books.
Moaning Myrtle will make an appearance again, as will Tonks.
More about Voldemort's birth will be revealed, thus helping us understand why he is so evil.
Muggles begin to notice "more and more odd" occurrences in book 6, says JK.
The wizarding world is really at war in the sixth book.
Harry will tell his dearest friends about the prophesy after it sinks in to him.
We will learn more about Harry's relatives, including his grandparents (though JK says they aren't really important to the story)
We will find out what happened to Sirius's motorbike.
Book 6 will be shorter than the 5th book (or at least JK's 99% sure, but will not swear on her children's lives)
There will be no "new" nationalities of children at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a British school, and JK says that adding foreigners for the sake of it is not in her plans.
During an interview, when JKR was asked in which Hogwarts room she'd like to be for 1 hour, she said it would be a room in which Harry has been before, but doesn't know its importance. Yet. (this could have happened in book 5, but we're unsure)
It's very important in the plot that Harry has his mother's eyes, and that her wand was very good for charms.
During an interview for Kids BBC, Victor Greensteet (reporter) asked Rowling if Harry would have a dragon for a pet. This is what she replied: "You can't tame a dragon, no matter what Hagrid thinks. It's simply impossible. So no. He has more common sense. He MAY have a different pet in the future, but for now, I won't say anything else". (This could have been buckbeak, but I'm sure we can expect more pets)
In the same interview for Kids BBC, the reporter asked J. K. if Harry had ever used the internet, and this is what she had to say: "No. They (the Dursleys) won't let him go near Dudley's computer, and Dudley is the only one who has a computer. They hit him if he gets too near to the keyboard. So the answer would be No. I use it a lot, but Harry doesn't. Wizards don't really need to go on the web. They have an even better way to find out what's happening in the outside world, which I think is a lot more fun than the Internet, but I'm going to keep quiet on this one."
The choice between what's right and what's easy will be a pillar of the plot in Harry's last 2 years at Hogwarts
Harry's parents' profession will be a big part of the plot.
Something HUGE will be revealed about Lily Potter.

I Arthur Weasley will not be the new Minister of Magic Haha, that's from Cassandra Claire's Draco Trilogy. I think Amelia Bones will be the next minister. That'd be good. And maybe a Weasley will die, Mrs Weasley said something like, "there's no way we'll all get out of this alive". Or something. I'd like it if Neville was the HBP. I would be devestated if Remus died, or if he revealed that he and Sirius had been shagging girls, and not each other.  14 hours, 44 minutes... |

I've read it. Finished at about 5.30.
I found out the spoiler last night. I thought it was going to be fake...it wasn't. I was absolutely devestated, and still am.
Very, very good book.

I shall never ever get over the shock of last night. It was absolutely horrible. I don't know if I should post what happened - I won't reveal what I found out, of course, but still.

There is another thread for discussing the new book. That way, people who haven't read it can stay out unless tehy want to be spoiled. and we can discuss it all freely.
