Greetings! and Rita Skeeter

[Summer, aka The Friendly Frolicker]

No: HPFGUIDX 46754

Hello friends, my name is Carolyn.  I just joined this group, when I 
realized that this was the place to go for discussions about Harry 
Potter that were intelligent... just what I was looking for.  I'm 
18, so don't worry, I'm a "grown-up."

Anyways, I was driving along today, when a thought suddenly occured 
to me.  Rita Skeeter.  She was mentioned a lot in GoF, but at the 
end of the book, there was really no point.  I mean, why did we go 
through the book reading about the awful things she was writing 
about Harry in the Daily Prophet, if at the end the only result was 
that Hermione caught her as a beetle?  It doesn't seem that JK 
Rowling had enough reason to write all of that about her if in the 
end she just gets caught and that's the end.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I didn't see it 
at Fantastic Posts and Where to Find Them, so I figured I'd bring it 
up.  I wonder if Rita Skeeter will turn on in the next book, angry 
at Hermione for catching her and seeking revenge... I could 
definetly see her being evil too, but who knows?  I'd like to hear 
what other people think of this though.

One other thing... I know this has been discussed but, as I was 
reading GoF the other day, I decided that Hagrid will die.  During 
the part where he's talking to Harry about how proud he is of him, 
and how sure he is that Harry will win the Tournament... something 
about that made me just be like, "Ooooh!  He's dead!"  Not sure why 
I came to that conclusion... but oh well.

And one other thing... how do I get this to change my name?  It says 
at the top of my screen "From: Summer, aka the Friendly Frolicker" 
which is pretty stupid and which I want to change... any wise 
intelligent people know how to help?

Alright, I'm done.  Have a nice day.

Peace,
Carolyn
