really!?!
maybe madam marsh is spy for death eaters!! i mean wasn't she the one who vomited? i dunno refresh my memory, but i'll tell u this! most people who been on thknight bus once, would rather not get on it again unless it's necassery!

about harry playing quidditch professionally...he might die befor he gets the chance? *cowers underneath bed as an angry mob with pitchforks and shovels pass by*

something else i noticed, why did the broomstick neville first rode on (in book 1) and the ford car went to the forbidden forest? actually j.k said we are going to see, aragog, ford car, and i forget what else again.

Really? :o Cool! B) But I dont like spiders! Aaaahhh!!!!!!!!!!! :o

poor baby :flowersmile: ...maybe it aragog getting squashed br grawp?

i think the dark forst is holding something else, a really big secret. i just dont know what it is. :ermsmile:

ilovemalfoy9687 Posted on Oct 2 2003, 05:22 PM i agree..

remember we said j.k put a small but very important hint in chamber of secrets? we were looking at the book whole, maybe she literally meant the chamber of secrets. and i watched the interview with j.k and the script writer, and well i think the important hint is that harry never tried to talk to the basilisk, not in the book nor in the movie. maybe it would of obeyed him? and i know this theory has been done to death but maybe harry really is the heir of slytherine? your thought please..

and u didn't answer me (ronweaslylover) why do u think voldie wants harry in slytherin?

thanx guys... muaaaaaah!

p.s:
the script writer says he thinks dumbledore has a dark secret and maybe i imagined it, but j.k seemed to me she was giving him a dirty look when he said that. to be honest im trying to piece these things together:

cockaroach clusters (dumbledore, made his password that, and these were in the different taste section in honedukes with blood lollipops)

a scar of the map for the undergroud station! (in book one he says he has it and found it very usefull).

bee (dumbledore means bumblebee)

help please?

I dunno about the whole Dumbledore thing but after reading all 18 pages of everyone's brilliant theories I have came up with something.

After Sirius dies in the Department of Mysteries and Dumbledore fights Voldemort, Dumbledore is telling Fudge what happened and calls the room with the veil- where Sirius died- the Death Chamber. Does this mean that people are tried then put to death there? Harry did say it looked mike the room where the Wizengamot tried him for the dementor thing. Or maybe all death is held behind the veil? That would explain Neville and Luna..

Well, just wanted to put this out there for you all see. I hope someone else has noticed this.

*gasps*

good eye! thats quite perceptive of you...
are you sure though? maybe... well in the book there was a phoenix in a container that kept on growing and then devolving and turning into an egg... do you think the veil is the same thing? except for humans?

you read all the pages? i love you!!! u r my new best friend! ...lol... :flowersmile: :beer:

:newbie:

um, i just remembered, at the end of GoF, when Harry's telling Dumbledore and Sirius about Voldemort's ressurection, Harry thought he saw a triumphant look in Dumbledore's eye, when he mentioned Voldemort was able to touch him again... i mean, i love the guy, he's super cool, but what's up with that??

You know, I have been wondering that too, unless it was covered in the fifth book and I didn't pick up on it, but I usually do pick up on those things. All the ideas about it I ahev heard have been utterly ridiculous, and they were discredited as soon as they were posted. I honestly have no idea what so ever. Sorry

i think it was because harry had said how voldemort said that he gave up on immortality till he gets all his powers back and kills harry. therefor voldie can die, he wouldn't be able to do what he did when the vada kedavra curse backfired on him. the wizarding world would be able to rid of him!

well...i think *blush*

i love you guys too!! i know im being annoying...*blush*blush*blush* some more. :wub: :flowersmile: :wub:

:scarejulie: clowns freak me out...ever since i read IT.

p.s: but guys u didn't tell me what you think...

I just had a theory:

Ok, when I was in Mexico, I heard this legend of a town that wouldn't say a name (forgot what it was) cuz supposedly the beast with that name would like get up (and supposedly kill everyone) Anyways, what has that got to do w/ my theory? Well, what if everyone is scared of saying Voldermort's name because maybe it doesn't like awaken him or anything, but maybe makes him stronger. LoL, I know it's stupid, forgive me, I just had 3 bottles of Faygo and i'm not completely sane, lol.

This is about the Mark Evan theory...

Now harry when talking to Dud was the one who brought mark up to the conversation...

I don't get how Harry could be thick enough to NOT realise Mark has the same last name as him mum...i mean come on...harry is all alone, during the summer. woudlnt he start thinking about amrk and all? Just because he's bored and wants news and stuff?

It's just hard to miss if you were harry dont you think? :ermsmile:

lookit! i love with my gran and i dunno her maiden name...lol. seriously, maybe harry didn't know thta was his mom's name! especially since petunia is ashamed of her background and her sister, where could he have found this out? but actually it was a ver good and valid question, just not a conclusive one.

cosmic babe, u r unto something, maybe voldiemort can hear what they r saying about him? dunno...

Thats awesome i lvoe it

i never knew bout that

1) I think Sirius is not coming back. Harry tried too many theories to make Sirius come back to him. Sometimes when someone is gone, they are really gone. It's a difficult reality to accept, which is why it has to happen. In this book Harry is realizing there are a lot of realities in his world he is powerless to change. Sirius's death is one of many.

2) Why would Voldemort want Harry in Slytherin? (Someone asked this in an earlier post.) Well, I think there are a couple of reasons at least. 1) Because Draco Malfoy isn't the only Slytherin who is the child of a Death Eater. If all of these people are getting to know Harry, then Voldemort's work is done for him. He doesn't have to put in spies to get close to Harry--he already has a house full of volunteers. 2) Voldemort is a manipulative man. As Tom Riddle pointed out to Harry in the Chamber, they have quite a bit in common. That would have been so much more potent if Harry were even in the same house as Voldemort. Doubt can really undermine someone's character, think of how much weaker Harry would be if he were always filled with doubt.

3) What about Dumbledore's "triumphant gleam" in book 4? Have you ever wanted something horrible to happen, just so it would be finished? The dentist, a shot, a really stressful school assignment, the rise and fall of a particularly evil dark lord? Since Dumbledore knew Voldemort had come back, he knew Harry could finally destroy him. Dumbledore knew about the prophecy so he knew Harry was Voldemort's equal (That's part of what the prophecy said.) and Dumbledore probably figured he now look forward to the resolution of what had for years been a battle he fought endlessly. I mean, think of the responsibility Dumbledore took upon himself all those years ago to protect others less powerful than himself from Voldemort. Think of Dumbledore's age. Of course he had a triumphant gleam in his eye that the end of the battle was in sight. I'm impressed he didn't go around the room dancing a screaming in sheer delight!

I am really sorry this post is soooo long! Please don't shoot me!

Maybe there's a weekness in Harry's blood as well as a strength.. I dunno. Maybe it will turn out that by some of this same "old magic" that the blood of an enemy who hates you could just... backfire on you or something? Sorry, this is just really messed up. But, yes, I also think he's glad the Voldy's mortal again, and can finally be killed. But he'd be scaired at the same time, because the prophesy says that one must kill the other, and Voldy could kill harry! I HOPE NOT! NOOO! Sorry for shouting. *looks sheepish* And... wassup with Nagini? Seems very intelignet for just a snake...

I think this is pure coincidence, I mean I doubt JK sat down and planned this.

that could be why! thats very good i didnt think of it once! :flowersmile: :sorcerer:

yeah, that's like the other theory... both very probable!

i asked why would voldie want harry in slytherine and i still think he wouldn't... harry is already voldie's equal in strength WITHOUT USING THE DARK ARTS, if harry were in slytherine, he might get ideas "he might do well in slytherine" as the sorting hat says, and rather than just be opposition to voldie... he would be competiton! i dunno though..but thanks for answering! :flowersmile:

nagini is cool... i wish i had a pet snake...but my mom has a phobia of them

zmygry, what do u mean? harry's blood is like poison to voldie? please explain and give examples or how u thinks it's going to be like.

i agree with ilovemalfoy, both theories could be true in the series.

yea i found that it is really cool i liek it

WOW great great theories- quite a few that I never heard of! You guys are great HP sleuths! So here's my two cents...
1) I believe that Sirius is dead. I wish he could still be alive, I mean I was in denial forever that he is dead. He could possibly still communicate with Harry, though.
2) Harry couldn't control the basilisk because Tom Riddle told Harry "pasletongue won't help you now, it only obeys me"- at least in the movie
yes, it is 4 am and yes, I did read all 19 pages and yes, I am obsessed with Harry Potter

For what it's worth, last year I took an astronomy course and researched what the constellations meant. Here is what I found about Leo (Harry's zodiac sign and also is shown as a lion, which is what Gryffindor is):
Leo the lion lived on the Moon and one day descended to the Earth as a shooting star. The lion landed in Corinth and there ransacked the countryside. “The lion was an invulnerable beast… its skin was proof against all weapons” (Ridpath, 80). It carried off the local inhabitants until Hercules strangled it with his bare hands, which was the first of his twelve labors. Zeus put it back in the sky from where it originally came because it is the king of beasts.

thats cool
u guys are so smart
heres some thnigs that i thought of
maybe srius wont come bac, but will watch over harry and help him, you know?

i dunno if nagini is really a snake
like she could be somebody who fell in love with voldemort, and he got scared, so he turned her into a snake
okay, thats kinda lame, but you know what i mean?
like a person

and i agree with th whole name thing
like it says I think in the movie- or in the book, cant remember which ' I fashioned myself a name that i knew one day people would be afraid to speak'
maybe its like occlumency, he can read their minds if they open their minds to him and speak his name?

i dunno, i think i'm just confusing myself
