flutterby Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 ummmm wow! I never liked the sound of berty botts beans, I don't like regular jelly beans let alone ones that taste like vomit.
Cal Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 The frog didn't jump... But it had mini-smarties in it. Yum yum! The Wizard Card was holographic...so it moves a tad.
.Cat. Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 Just wondering...if anyone knew what house Andromeda Black/Tonks (Bellatrix and Narcissa's sister, Nymphadora Tonk's mum) was in? It said every member of the Black family was in Slytherin (with the exception of Sirius), but she didn't seem the type to be in that house.
emmasi Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 The Lexicon has her listed as Slytherin: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/a-z/b.html Don't forget that Regulus and Severus were both in Slytherin, and they didn't turn out half bad... Well. Maybe *half* bad... On the other hand, Peter was in Gryffindor (I assume), and he may have been the worst character in the book.
Cal Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 I saw the movie a few weeks ago. I loved it. Is it strange to adore Bellatrix?
emmasi Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 I blame the actress. She's far too beautiful to resist lol.
Jen Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 Read this on TLC yesterday, but now its everywhere... Rowling 'outs' gay Potter wizard October 21, 2007 - 6:52AM Source: ABC Author JK Rowling has revealed a secret about one of the main characters in her Harry Potter books: the wizard Dumbledore is gay. The best-selling British author made the confession at Carnegie Hall in New York when a young fan asked her if the headmaster of the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy ever fell in love. "My truthful answer to you... I always thought of Dumbledore as gay," Rowling said. Her comments were posted on the Potter fan website TheLeakyCauldron.org. She said Professor Dumbledore had fallen in love with the wizard Gellert Grindelwald, but was crestfallen as Grindelwald turned his talents to the dark arts. Dumbledore was "drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him," she said. During a script reading for the sixth Harry Potter film, the author corrected a reference to Dumbledore waxing nostalgic about a female flame, she said. "I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, 'Dumbledore's gay!'" Rowling said. Her revelations about Dumbledore drew a "prolonged ovation", according to the fan website. "If I'd known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!" she told her fans. In the Potter films, Dumbledore was played by the late Richard Harris, and then by Michael Gambon. Rowling, 42, has become a billionaire from the Potter phenomenon, with the books translated into 64 languages. The first in the boy wizard series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was published in 1997 and the final and seventh novel, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, broke records after going on sale in July. As for telling her admiring readers about the sexual preference of Professor Dumbledore, she said: "I had to give you something to talk about for the next 10 years ... Just imagine the fan fiction now." - AFP Loved the fan fiction line though . I don't know if this changes my view on Dumbledore or not. It definitely adds something to the character. I've start reading OotP again and I can't help but look at Dumbledore differently now, not in a bad way, just different. The interview also mentions that Neville ended up marrying Hannah Abbott and lived with her above The Leaky Cauldron, which she became the landlady of. So its nice that Neville found somebody
Drew Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 I've got disturbing images in my head now from this. She should have written it in the book. Would of made a few good chapters.
