Faqs

the HBP is Neville. i can't remember which book it's in but i remember that it ways that Neville tells Harry that his dad's amuggle and his mom's a witch and that it surprised his dad when his mom told his dad. i think it was in the first book. please tell me if i'm right or not that Neville said that. also please tell me which book it was in. thanx

It was Seamus Finnegan in the movie who said that in Sorcerer's Stone.
"Me Dad's a muggle; mom's a witch. Bit of a nasty shock when he found out!" In Book 1, Page 125. Hope that helps. (Grin)

your right zonko seamus said that. neville has 2 wizard parents neville sais he broke his fathers wand in department of mysteries and his parents are in st. mungos.

oh yeah, sorry. DUH! my bad. i knew it couldn't have been neville. his parents were tortured by what's her face. i can't remember. i'm rereading the 5th book and they talk about neville's parents in one of the chapters. how dumb of me not to remember that.

hey hey hey hold up enville didn't say his father was a muggle because they were both part of the order DUH......... i think it was seamus who said that..

Neville's folks were tortured by the Lestrange's (nee Bellafix(?)/ Bellatrix(?) Black-that 'orrible Sirius killer). JKR says that this had nothing to do with the prophecy but. So just the run-o-the-mill auror torture. Wonder what they were trying to find out from them. Do we know? Did it have something to do with the Potters whereabouts? If so they sacrificed themselves for them. If this is true, I wonder if Neville knows. Hows that go to make him feel?

Here's another fact: JKR says"There's no trace of the HBP storyline in the 'Chambers....Rather it relates to a discovery Harry made in 'Chambers' that foreshadows something that he finds out in 'Prince'" My votes on the diary. Either because it is a way of communicating with the dead or because it's a way that one person can divide themselves into many (hundreds of Voldemorts). What do you reckon?
I need to reread the CoS I think

Buffy: Re-reading these books becomes a way of life. Why the Longbottoms were totured is unclear. For me it contributes to the notion that Bellatrix tortures for fun. On the other hand, JKR did remove some info from the original drafts so perhaps I have the wrong take altogether.

The diary to me was just a stage prop for the one book. I don't think it will rear its ugly head again. Tom Riddle's memory living as a ghost in a diary and then reappearing in flesh and blood at the very same time that old broken down Voldemort was trying to make a come-back somewhere in the Forbidden Forest was quite a stretch.

What if Harry had failed and Tom were re-born? What a mess that would be. Voldemort would literally be in 2 places at once. Who would prevail? Would the two join forces? Maybe Voldemort would put his rotted out head on top of Tom's totally buff 16 year old body. Tom wouldn't like that much. What guy would want to be stuck with red eyes, bad breath and no dates. Whoa! That sounds like one of MY old friends. Now I'm scared.

Zonko: Yucko to the V head but I like the sound of "totally buff 16 year old body": You mean it's for me, a present! You shouldn't have!!! Actually, this is rather sick! The fact that I'm a school teacher makes it an arrestable offence I think (either that or a perk of the job- we always seem to get those two mixed up!).

So you're sticking to your travelling spider salesman is the link to CoS are you? How 'bout Aragog? Front cover has D and Harry going through a forest....maybe to visit Aragog??? What a reach!!!!

Communication devices, even with the dead, does seem to play a role in the 6th. We know the "mirror" (Sirius's? or Erised?(sp)) will be "relevant"....???

what realy??? where i am it is coming out on th16th no fair!
