>>I'll even confess that it can get to
be addictive, promoting ideas, speculations, theories that
deviate from the comfort of the mainstream consensus.
It can be a lot of fun, just so long as I remember to support the
case with some sort of logical argument, however slight or
elliptical.<<<
I know the feeling <g>.
Kneasy:
>>> Whatever is in *the room* is supposed to be a damn near
irresistible force, outranking death, intelligence, natural forces
and other mysteries such as the nature of time. That narrows the
field down for us. It is also not unique to Harry; DD implies as
much at the end of OoP. Besides, if it were unique to Harry how
could the Ministry possibly study it in a locked room that he has
never entered? It is, however, a force that he is full of, suffused
with, and that Voldemort detests it. It is presumed to be the force
that saved Harry at Godric's Hollow and prevented possession in
the Ministry battle.To the fans rooting for steadfastness, fidelity,
courage, lov etc., this confirms them in their beliefs. "See?
Doesn't that prove it?" Er, no.<<
David speculated about what artifact might be in the Room itself.
I think no wizard has ever been inside, for what lies beyond the
door, IMO, is not any of the things mentioned, worthy as they are,
but The Source of them all.
I speculate that Harry will have to pass through The Veil in order
to defeat Voldemort, and that because he did this willingly, he
will be allowed a choice: either to "go on" as Nick put it, or to
return at a price. I think he will return, emerging from the locked
door, at the cost of his powers.
Thoughts?
