Hello.
Not online yesterday as it was Australia Day. I had to lie in my brother's pool, eat BBQed prawns and drink beer. They would have deported me otherwise. We're VERY strong on cliches, opps, sorry I meant 'very strong on patrotisim', in the land of Oz.

Not so sure that Dumby is a 'happy man'. A happy person would have to be completly content and unafraid I reckon. I don't think that sounds like Dumbledore at all. I think Erised, to Dumby, might have shown everyone in the world living happy and contented lives, respectful of each other; lambs and lions frollicking in green meadows etc. At least it would have shown a world free of Voldemort. Harry as a safe, happy adult. It might have shown Dumbledore and Tom Riddle having a hug.


HBP Australian Ed. has only Harry and Dumby on the cover. They both have ring of flames coming from their wands. The back cover has an irridescent green coming from an old bird-bath and from alittle rowboat- the cave obviously.

My HBP reads the same as ginevra's.
Chapter 27 'The Lightening Stuck Tower'... all the same as you've posted psyduck- excect the page numbers which, as I've said before is weird- but those lines:
"He can not kill youi f you are already dead"
'Nobody would be surprised that you had died...'
are not there!

Mine's an Australian print but an English publication and typset so I'd reckon iit has to be the same as the British edition.

So, look at us hey!! Little detectives EXTRORDINARE!!! What HAVE we uncovered??? Is this THE lynchpin?? THE clue that will launch us into all that will come and explain ALL that has come before?? I'm not just talking HP here people! I'm talking THE big questions about 'what is life?' and 'should I get my 2001 tax return in or won't they notice?'... THE really BIG stuff.
Could be a typo.
Did some ditor somewhere put the line in or take these lines out in which case, why??? they are strange lines when seen in this light. Very dark and ominous. Do they imply that Dumby and the Order have made someone disappear and look as if they were dead before?????


ginevra: 23 FEBURARY??!! that's terrible! I'd be taking that up with Amnesty or United Nations if I were you.
