I'm sure everyone has read the book by now and there are many wonderful 
opinions and things to discuss here. With the coming of the new book we now have 
old theories and 870 pages of new theories to come out with. And kudos to 
everyone on the list for the extatic posting.

Now, on to whatever it is I want to say. First of all the facts are as 
follows. The only person who could pick up a prophesy is the one who the prophesy is 
about. However, my problem with this in the first place is that the prophesy 
was told to Dumbledore, so I can't understand why it was Harry or Tom who had 
to go and get the ball. Thereafter, if the case is that the only person who 
can pick up the prophesy is the person it was told about, then it would have to 
be about Harry and not Neville. Otherwise there were restrictions that would 
have blocked anyone else from picking it up. Or, the restrictions could have 
been manmade, having assumed that it was Tom or Harry and leaving Neville off of 
the placquard.

The veil thingy. I believe that is the execution room. You sentance a person 
to die and you painlessly chuck them into the afterlife. The fact that Harry 
didnt look at the 2 way mirror way before he was given it was just horrific. 
The emotions that Harry felt throughout the book were the first true sense of 
what a teenager, or a real human being is feeling. He has grown up with Dudley 
and the Dursley's, and the way he turned out, it was nothing short of 
exceptable. as for the SHIP in the book. Well, thats the way the world works. Harry 
didn't really know how to deal with Cho, but who could ever blame him. He's got 
way too much on his plate to deal with her. I am glad he got that out of his 
system. This leaves him open to other suggested females.

Prefects: now, when Moony was going around telling people who the prefects 
were and weren't he said that James and Sirius were not prefects, it was Lupin 
who was the prefect. Now, don't get me wrong, but weren't Lily and James head 
boy and girl? Now, does this mean that you are able to pick up prefect job 
later in the years, i figure from 5-7 years, they each get a boy and girl from 
each year. for 5th year, there are 2 prefects, 6th year nas 4 and 7th has 6. 
Harry needs one of those shiny pins. I wonder what Dumbledore had said at the 
closing feast, I'm sure there was something good that happened, I'm sure something 
important that Harry had missed.

New Characters: now what was that all about? Luna Lovegood, Tonks. that was 
just bad. I appreciate the fact that Neville, and Ginny got to play more of a 
role, but why did she have to stick other people into the story so abruptly. 
Another note, i think i noticed that a few of the people were not mentioned at 
sortings, but showed up in the book. I think this clears up the fact that there 
are more people than Harry pays attention to at the sorting.

Quidditch: great twist, Ron seeker, and the Weasley twins and Harry get 
kicked off the team. The Weasley twins had some good spells throughout the book. 
However, they didnt seem as greatful to Harry for that first sack of Galleons. I 
know it was only a little bit of what they had now, but you have to have 
money to make money. They would have NEVER been able to get out of the school or 
start a shop without the money that Harry had given them. But, kudos to the 
twins, tough situation, and this shows you don't have to stay at the school, and 
there is only a point in which people can take before they explode. I know 
Harry has more money and fame then he will ever need, but it just seems a little 
discreditting.

Future: with whatever the next book will be called, (see you guys in 3 
years), I think Harry aced his OWLs, if not, got more than Ron and Hermy, it would 
be funny for once. Considering that Sirius was Harry's godfather and therefore 
guardian, having no next of kin to bequeath his property, shouldnt Harry now 
be the owner of Grimmauld place? If so, Yippee. I think Lockhart will come 
back, that would be good. Sirius will not come back. Hagrid's brother will learn 
english and be a fine Brittish chap, he will round up the other giants. 
Dementors are already on Voldies side, Fudge has his army of fire people, maybe. lots 
of other things that come to mind. Occlumency, Harry will take this with 
Dumbledore now, since Voldy can possess him, hes gonna need some protection. I had 
thought that the weapon was Fawks. Well, shows how well we did with all the 
guessing.
