Attention Pittsburgh HP fans!

[Laura Horowitz]

Hello, Pittsburgh area HP fans! You are invited to a series of
discussion groups about Book 7, beginning this Sunday, June 17. Here are
the details:

Sunday, June 17
Severus Snape: Dark Anti-Hero or Greasy Git?
Love him or hate him, we have to deal with him—and so will Harry. It
looks like the fates of the Boy Who Lived and the Potions/DADA Master
are inextricably intertwined. What is Snape's secret? Is he good,
bad, or something else entirely? And what about LOLLIPOPS?

Sunday, June 24
Shipping and Slashing: Relationships in Harry Potter Canon and Fandom
Romantic relationships in HP have intrigued and inspired the fandom
since Sorcerer's Stone appeared in our lives. Fans argue
passionately in favor of their favorite ship and slash (same-sex
relationship). What ship do you sail? Do you read or write slash fic? If
so, who do you slash?

Sunday, July 8
The Future of the Trio
The end of Half-Blood Prince brought the trio to the most dramatic
turning point they've yet reached. Ron and Hermione will be by
Harry's side as he finishes his journey. But what will happen
afterwards? Will Hermione become Minister of Magic? Will Ron become
Keeper for the Chudley Cannons? And Harry
?

characters and plot lines to share-and have your text-based proof ready!
