Ideas, anyone? Any themes we can discuss besides love, revenge, and
immortality? Can we look at the books themselves instead of our own
lives and social views?

BTW, does anyone besides me think that Ron's remark in HBP about
Draco's Hand of Glory is a Flint? Draco (or rather Lucius) didn't buy
the Hand of Glory in CoS, just at the point when Lucius was selling
Dark artifacts because he was anticipating a Ministry raid. How could
Ron know that Draco had the Hand of Glory, and when could Draco have
bought it? Is it the thing he didn't want to be seen carrying down the
street? If so, Ron is wrong that he already had it.

Joe: 
  Okay here is one. A lot of people believe that very small signs or trival statements in one book become central themes or important issues in later books.
   
  So what small details do you think might play a surprising part in book seven?
   
  My wife is convinced that Ron is going to display some sort of power or increase in magical aptitude because of the statement made by one of the twins. Ron says something along the lines of "Just wait until I'm seventeen and I can do magic." in the kitchen of the Burrow. One of the twins George I believe replies along the lines of "Then you will dazzle us with hereto unseen magical  abilities."
   
  Foreshadowing or just a very nice comeback by an older brother?
