No doubt a good show, with raging hormones and finally the Ron-Hermione relationship!! I actually thought the show will be much more darker and sinister since it is about discovering Voldermort’s past and him doing horcruxes.
I guess i didn’t pay much attention to the other trailers then.
Erm, favourite scene would be Harry asking Prof. Slughorn to come down and visit Hagrid with him.
Basically the entire scene after he drank felix. Oh i adore Prof. Slughorn’s story about Lily and the gold fish.
when Prof. Dumbledore asks permissions to borrow a muggle magazine, just because he loves knitting patterns
isn’t dumbledore a cute fuzzy old gay man
when both Ron and Harry were discussing about Ginny and Hermione’s skin.
when teenage Tom Riddle questioned Prof. Slughorn about Horcrux. I think the new teenage Tom Riddle looks really yong sui and i actually love how yong sui he is, really suit the role lor, the face super hao lian.
AND THEN, just bear with me for this post, just this post. I came home and start searching for everything related to HP, and i came across some interesting plot holes throughout the book series. More importantly i came across interviews done after the last book is released, mostly questions regarding the after life of HP and other characters and some trivias. I’ll just put up a few
Katieleigh: Does Hermione still continue to do work with Spew and is life any better for house elves!
J.K. Rowling: Hermione began her post-Hogwarts career at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She then moved (despite her jibe to Scrimgeour) to the Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement where she was a progressive voice who ensured the eradication of oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.
Blodeuwedd: Hi jk, first of all thank you for all the books I have enjoyed each and every one of them could you tell us what professions Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Luna go on to have did the trio do their final year at school and take their newts?
J.K. Rowling: Thank you! I’ve already answered about Hermione. Kingsley became permanent Minister for Magic, and naturally he wanted Harry to head up his new Auror department. Harry did so (just because Voldemort was gone, it didn’t mean that there would not be other Dark witches and wizards in the coming years). Ron joined George at Weasleys’ Wizarding Wheezes, which became an enormous money-spinner… After a few years as a celebrated player for the Holyhead Harpies, Ginny retired to have her family and to become the Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet!
Jessie: Were the Deathly Hallows based on any realworld myth or faerie tale?
J.K. Rowling: Perhaps ‘the Pardoner’s Tale’, by Chaucer.
Superhans: What was Dudley’s worst memory?
J.K. Rowling: I think that when Dudley was attacked by the Dementors he saw himself, for the first time, as he really was. This was an extremely painful, but ultimately salutory lesson, and began the transformation in him.
Su: How did Neville get the Gryffindor sword, is there a link to the hat?
J.K. Rowling: Yes, there is very definitely a link to the hat! Neville, most worthy Gryffindor, asked for help just as Harry did in the Chamber of secrets, and Gryffindor’s sword was transported into Gryffindor’s old hat — the Sorting Hat was Gryffindor’s initially, as you know. Griphook was wrong — Gryffindor did not ‘steal’ the sword, not unless you are a goblin fanatic and believe that all goblin-made objects really belong to the maker.
Camille: How is George getting along without his twin?
J.K. Rowling: Well, I don’t think that George would ever get over losing Fred, which makes me feel so sad. However, he names his first child and son Fred, and he goes on to have a very successful career, helped by good old Ron.
Vio91: Is Teddy Lupin a werewolf?
J.K. Rowling: No, he’s a Metamorphmagus like his mother.
Lady Bella: Whose murders did Voldemort use to create each of the horcruxes?
J.K. Rowling: The diary — Moaning Myrtle. The cup — Hepzibah Smith, the previous owner. The locket — a Muggle tramp. Nagini — Bertha Jorkins (Voldemort could use a wand once he regained a rudimentary body, as long as the victim was subdued). The diadem — an Albanian peasant. The ring — Tom Riddle snr.
Jess Mac: What was the third smell that Hermione smelt in the amortentia potion in hbp (ie the particular essence of Ron)?
J.K. Rowling: I think it was his hair. Every individual has very distinctive-smelling hair, don’t you find?
Courtney: What child did Harry give the marauders map to if any?
J.K. Rowling: I’ve got a feeling he didn’t give it to any of them, but that James sneaked it out of his father’s desk one day.
Karin: What did Petunia wanted to say to Harry at the end of the Dursleys departing?
J.K. Rowling: I think that for one moment she trembled on the verge of wishing Harry luck; that she almost acknowledged that her loathing of his world, and of him, was born out of jealousy. But she couldn’t do it; years of pretending that ‘normal’ was best had hardened her too much.
Tierney Roth: If Moody got a magic eye, and Wormtail got a magic hand, couldn’t there be some way to form a magical ear, if only to cover up the hole and make George look more symmetrical?
J.K. Rowling:Yes, he could wear a false ear (I’m starting to giggle at the thought. Perhaps he’s better off with the hole!)
Lucy: What is Dumbledore’s boggart?
J.K. Rowling: The corpse of his sister.
Pablo: What is toadface Umbridge doing now?
J.K. Rowling:Glad to see you like her as much as I do! She was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned for crimes against Muggleborns.
Katie Mosher: How exactly do muggleborns receive magical ability?
J.K. Rowling: Muggleborns will have a witch or wizard somewhere on their family tree, in some cases many, many generations back. The gene re-surfaces in some unexpected places.
Jon: Since Voldemort was afraid of death, did he choose to be a ghost if so where does he haunt or is this not possible due to his horcruxes?
J.K. Rowling: No, he is not a ghost. He is forced to exist in the stunted form we witnessed in King’s Cross.
Twinkletoes: Why did you feel that Hedwig’s death was necessary?
J.K. Rowling: The loss of Hedwig represented a loss of innocence and security. She has been almost like a cuddly toy to Harry at times. Voldemort killing her marked the end of childhood. I’m sorry… I know that death upset a LOT of people!
Katie B: Why was Kings Cross the place Harry went to when he died?
J.K. Rowling: For many reasons. The name works rather well, and it has been established in the books as the gateway between two worlds, and Harry would associate it with moving on between two worlds (don’t forget that it is Harry’s image we see, not necessarily what is really there.
Tess: What muggle song do you imagine would be played at Dumbledore’s funeral?
J.K. Rowling: Surely ‘I did it my way’ by Frank Sinatra.
Anyway i do have some questions though, say Goblet of the Fire, how is it that a portkey (the triwizard cup) can be used to transport Harry and Cedric but Apparation is not allowed in the grounds of Hogwarts.
And i can’t remember the second one, i’ll post it up soon.
I think i prefer traveling with the broom sticks than disapparating.
Whoosh.
