I can't imagine what the reaction might be if they cut out almost all of the fighting in the Ministry of Magic, can you? And although I'm sure they'll keep the Apparation Tests, there is a possibility that they could cut it out!!

Yea, but so was Severus Snape, and he killed Dumbleodre. The reason I bring this up is that some people have been saying that Tonks may be working for the Dark Lord. So, I'm gonna lay down what I know about Tonks: She apparently has fallen in love with Remus Lupin. Could she really be in love? Or could she just be trying to gain his trust? There is also a possibility that she is waiting to betray Lupin to Fenrir Greyback, a wereworf who enjoys killing people almost as much as he enjoys passing on the werewolf "curse". Is there a possibility for Tonks to be evil? Yes there is. Is it also possible that we are overeacting, and Tonks really wants to be with Remus? Also possible. Just bringing out to light a theory! | Quote: |

He put his hands on her waist and lifted her up, twirled her around, and kissed her. “Gin! I did it!

She hadn’t seen him this happy in a long time. She realized that Harry only really wanted to have a true thing to celebrate about. Harry enjoyed the simple things in life, and she wanted him to be happy for as long as he could. She watched him, with a small tear in her eye; Harry had little to celebrate about lately. In fact, the first time she had seen him truly happy since Sirius died was when they had shared their first kiss. Harry sped past Ginny as Hermione walked in through the portrait hole. She giggled as Harry explained his victory to Hermione. Suddenly, Harry stopped talking, he was mouthing wordlessly. Ron had cast a nonverbal ‘Silencio’ spell. “We get it! You won!” Ron laughed. | .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. The DA thanks you for your efforts in the club.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Athena Evans (A twin) Third | Loved the ficlett! That is interesting that Dan wants Harry to die in the next book, usually an actor portraying a character wants them to live, however I suppose it doesn't matter to much to him, he is bassically gauranteed through all of the movies, and the since the 7th is the last, he would be out of the project anyway  |

Of course, JKR has left more hints about the R/Hr factor, but at the end of the GoF, Hermione kissed Harry. And the only thing that's working out between Hermione and Ron, is the fact that when Harry and Ron are fighting, Hermione spends her time with Ron (i.e. Goblet Of Fire movie).
Now it appears that Hermione may be at the center of this Love Triange, as she's the only girl. But you have to wonder whether or not Rita Skeeter was telling the truth, when she said that Hermione was toying with Harry. Maybe even Ron. Because of...Viktor Krum! Yes, the Bulgarian that stole Hermione's heart. I do have a feeling that he will return in Book Seven...but maybe I can't say for sure...
Well, Hermione has a huge desicion to make. Ron...Harry...or Viktor? Who will she pick? Will she pick at all? Well, I can't tell you, because I'm not JKR. | Quote: |
Originally Posted by Sean DA Pictures: Worth looking at? As most of you know by now, a picture of Dumbledore's Army has surfaced. The picture includes many changes, but are these changes good? The picture shows only 15 DA members, yet the books include 29 members. Not only are half of the members missing, but there are some that are a bit...out of place. First of all, have you ever read about a kid named Nigel in the books? I didn't think so, because you haven't. He is one of few made-up characters for the movies. It seems that WB only wanted to show the more liked characters in the DA, for many DA members that do not have the fame as the ones in the pictures do, are not included. Such characters include Marietta the Sneak and all Hufflepuffs involved. "Well all of the members aren't in it!" said DAFC member Ebony Middleton. True, they are not all there. But why would the picture only include half of the DA? Is this a hint to tell us that not all book DA members will become movie DA members? For some though, the fact that all members are not there is not anything to worry about. Another thing one may have noticed while constantly scanning the picture is...the hair! Where did it all go? The hair went from about neck length for boys and shoulder length or longer for girls to about 2 inches. Okay, so not inches, but still, why the cutting? If director David Yates is trying to make the movies continue to be realistic, I don't think it is working. When was the last time you heard or saw 15 friends, some closer to each other than others, all cut their hair the same length over the summer. One thing is for sure, it certainly is not canon. I don't know how Miss Rowling feels on this situation (unavailable for comment), but is certainly a hot topic that could continue until midnight, July 13, 2007. Whether you think, "They're brilliant!!!!" as DAFC member miss weasley does, or whether you believe that, "They're all right, they're nothing to go psycho about, but not bad," as LovelyLunaLovegood does, one thing is for sure: We're all gonna keep looking over that picture we got stashed somewhere in our hard drive over and over again. At least, some of us will. -Sean | Quote: |

Originally Posted by Lemonlimeoranges The Smith Family Secret | Quote: |
Originally Posted by Lemonlimeoranges Note to the reader: All the quotes I have taken from Harry Potter books are from the American version. Also, please note that this thread may contain spoilers. We all remember Zacharias Smith, “… a tall skinny blond boy with an upturned nose whom Harry recognized vaguely as being a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team… (Page 338, book 5)”, a boy who made his appearance in book five to become a member of the DA. Not many of us have given him a second thought. Lately, however, I’ve given him not just a second thought, but a third and a fourth. You might ask why Zacharias Smith, seemingly a minor character, has anything to do with the major plot twists in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where he is only mentioned briefly. However, if you think back to one of the memories Harry ‘sees’ in the Pensieve it all becomes quite clear. Remember the memory that was gotten from Hokey the house-elf (Pages 433-438, book 6)? If you think back hard (or go back and check the page), you’ll discover that her master goes by the name Hepzibah Smith (Note her last name is the same as Zacharias’s). Before we get to the importance of all this, let me attempt (with limited evidence) to prove that Zacharias and Hepzibah are actually related. Firstly, there is the last name connection. If that is not enough, there is the fact that Zacharias is in Hufflepuff (For proof, see the quote in paragraph one). Now, we do not know if Hepzibah was in Hufflepuff, but we can assume so because she has claimed to be distantly descended from Helga Hufflepuff (Page 436, book 6). In fact, it is that very dissidence that brings us to why the connection between Zacharias and Hepzibah is so important. If Zacharias and Hepzibah are indeed related it makes sense for Zacharias to have inherited some of her things when she died. In fact, Hepzibah even says; “…Oh, if my family knew I was showing you… They can’t wait to get their hands on this!” (Page 436, book 6). This seems to imply that they will inherit it when she dies. On the same page as this quote was found, Hepzibah reveals exactly what the ‘this’ she was talking about is; a cup of Helga Hufflepuff’s. We later find out that Voldemort steals it. This brings us to our last question; then why does the connection between the two Smith’s matter? Perhaps the Smith family got the cup (and possibly the Slytherin locket, which was also stolen) back later, not knowing there was a horcrux inside of it. If this is indeed true, then Harry may require Zacharias’s help to find all of the remaining horcruxes. And even if the Smith’s have never recovered the cup, it makes you wonder, doesn’t it… Is there more to the Smith family than J.K. Rowling’s letting on? | |
