I was so happy when I stumbled across this board! I'd been looking
at Yahoo! for links to Harry Potter sites for ages, and suddenly,
it seemed that there were other options... clubs! So lo and behold,
here's one for adults! Great!

Anyway, here are my thoughts as to some of the previous posts:

First, I think (and my 22yr old sister agrees) that Dumbledore will be
the one to die that we "care deeply about". To me, it only makes sense
that Harry should have to prove his full potential by going against
Voldemort on his own. Of course, there is that pesky rumor about Ron
being linked to the fable of "Running Weasel", who was killed by his rat.

As to the casting comments... Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Weasley! Hahaha! That
would be so great! I suppose I can see John Cleese in there somewhere,
too... Filch was a good place. But my true feelings are thus: I read/heard
somewhere that they're casting unknowns to save money so that they can
beef up the special effects. Personally, I would MUCH rather see an
awesome game of quidditch than some star that commanded millions for
the role. :) Although Brenda Blethyn.... hehehe.

Now, here's something else I thought I might bring up. There are tons
of thoughts roaming about out there about who's going to "get together"
by the end of the series, i.e., Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny,
etc. What are your takes on this topic? Just curious.

Okay, enough! :)
