Dude. That's like... trippy. 

So will Sirius will be killed yet rise again on the third ... something?
Day? Third day in God-time (if you follow the "7 days is metaphorical for
millions of years" creationist apology)? Third time someone tries to
invoke the veil? 

I'm having a huge WTF moment:

1. In Dogma (a very well-researched movie), Lucifer is referrred to as
"the morning star." I mostly slept through sunday school from ages 10-17,
so if one of you people who stayed awake and did your communion homework
could remind me what the heck that could mean in regards to Sirius? 
2. When we were talking about the Potters and Voldemort, that "denies
three times" thing kept jumping out at me. So, what's Peter and denying
three times got to do with the Potters denying Voldemort three times? Was
Voldie just jealous that he wasn't being denied, too?

> Who denied Jesus? Peter. Who betrayed Sirius and had him imprisoned? 
> Peter!

So he's got one more big betrayal to go.

> Doesn't this prove that Harry Potter is not only very similar to 
> the Alchemical Wedding, but also to the New Testament?

No. It doesn't. At all. It proves that Jo MAY have used some
so-common-it's-part-of-the-secular-culture religious imagry for a bunch
of friends. Or, more likely, that she gave two of her chracters very
common names and gave a character with an unusual name a very common
middle name. And she gave a big shaggy dog the name of the dogstar. She
isn't Chris Carter or Kevin Smith. She isn't basing her entire series on
the Bible.
