[HPFGU-Catalogue] Re: JKR's FAQ answer about Neville

[Ginger]

C:  What price V's 'choice' then? Leaving aside the obvious point that he 
really shouldn't go round killing babies, it now appears that if he 
had gone and tried to kill Neville first, he might still have been 
vapourised, but not in the process created the child that was to be 
his nemesis.

So, we end up back at the dull answer, that Harry's the destined one, 
either because of his yet-to-be-explained genealogy, or powers that 
have always been destined to be dumped on him, or a combination of 
both. 

Not what I'd call original plotting I'm afraid.


G:  Quite so.  Painted herself into a corner by including the whole prophecy thing.  I really can't think of an original option to get out of that one.  Of course, plot has always been my weakness.  I can develop lovely characters, but I can't figure out anything for them to do.  Remind me if I ever come up with an original answer to the dilema to write a book.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Sybil was only joking when she gave the prophecy and LV not being able to kill Harry was a total fluke?  Like he coughed during the incantation or something like that and could have just as well ended up with a buffalo on his chest?  Now that would be original, but I have no idea how she'd carry it off.

Until then, I'll just read what she writes.  Not much else I can do until 2 months from now when we're all wailing for book 7.

Cheers, Ginger
