Welcome aboard ANTIVIRUS Valky, please feel at home.
Shanoah and Antosha, I didn't welcome you properly
because I was busy talking, but thanks for coming, I
cannot tell you how glad I am if you enjoy being here.

Lunatic minds think alike, my dear new shipmate. I
already mentioned the Snape connection to pride in an
earlier post.

I also think Gluttony is a little too low a sin to
deserve being the core of the last book. One way or
another, it has to be Pride.

None of the titles really reflect the sin theme, or
perhaps only in a very convoluted way, so we don't
have to try to read too much in the HBP. But still,
gluttony can be easily associated with greed, and
aren't pure bloods fiercely greedy and selfish by
wanting to confine wizardry only to themselves?

When you talk about the logic puzzle, do you mean to
say that the plot of the whole series is concentrated
in the tasks Harry, Ron and Hermione have to fulfill
to get past the protections of the stone? Is there
such a ship navigating on our sea? If I took your
comment wrongly than please set me straight. Hermione
is possibly my favorite character, so I'd love her to
triumph, at least if she can do it by staying clear of
any sacrifice.

Valky, welcome again *shaking Valky's hand*. Let's play!
