Kneasy:
 >>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?
