HI Folks of the wizarding world:
I had not thought of the potential for law suites when I originally
posted my supposition. Actually , most of you understood that I only
hoped we could influence her writing so that story lines and
characters would develope the way each of us wants to see them
mature. I was hoping that one of JKR's gang would take the seeds for
one of the many ideas here and flesh it out in her future books. I
personally want to see Snape mellow out in some kind of way, either
by falling in love or by having a life changing event happen to him.
I also want to see Hermione and Ron get married. I would like to see
the trio of H/R/H become one of the most powerful aurores in
wizarding history , along the lines of that old theme "the power of
three". Neville needs to be more developed, and I want more
information on why he is the way he is ( I personally think he is the
victim of a memory charm), with what I suspect are unrealized and
under developed wizarding abilities. I think Dumbledore will be the
beloved character to die, maybe not until book 7. Sirius will
eventually be vindicated, and he and Harry will form a closer
surrogate father/son relationship. The Dursleys will accept Harry,
eventually, the way he is, and assist him in some way in defeating
the almighty "V". These are the things I would like to see happen in
the series.
My question now is just when does a suggestion of a future idea or
plot become strictly mine? There is only so much you can do with
these particular characters and the theme of "good versus evil" is as
old as time. Not to mention that , as far as I can tell, just about
every idea or possible character development has already been
discussed in this particular group. How would you prove that JKR
stole an idea from here?I have no talent for writing and it would
never occur to me to sue someone when they used one of my "half baked
suggestions" in a book. On the contrary, I think I would be
incredibly flattered. Or pat myself on the back for being intuitive
enough to guess where the plot lines and characters are going, never
suspecting that I might have been the seed of inspiration :-)
Just my opinions and you know what they say about
opinions ......lololol.
