Ugh, when are they going to have the next Harry Potter movie out? Yes, I know, there was one just this summer. So what? I am demanding! By the time Ms. Rowling gets finished writing the seventh book I will probably be A. Dead B. In the convent or C. Too absorbed in grown-up money-making matters to care! Hurry up! :)
From Mere Comments:
— Our eldest child sent me an AP story in which J. K. Rowling, the writer of the Harry Potter stories, says that Harry will live to the seventh and last book but refused to say whether he’d survive that one, and said that she’d never been asked two questions readers should have asked: 1) “not ‘why did Harry live’ but ‘why didn't Voldemort die?’ ” and 2) “Why didn't Dumbledore kill, or try to kill, Voldemort?”
I'm far too lazy to go looking for the original AP story. I don't know about you but I think Harry's toast! I can't think what she means with her two shoulda-been-asked questions. Is Dumbledore Voldemort? Are they in league together? In what other way would the Headmaster sparing Voldemort be significant? Or maybe the point is, Harry has to find the strength to do it himself - all that nice sappy "triumph of the will" kind of pseudo-religious spirituality stuff. "I belieeeeeve in meeeeee!" As opposed to believing in God, for instance.
I think I'm off base on both counts - and especially the first - I like Dumbledore, so she better not give him clay feet.

Somehow, some way, I would restrain myself from swallowing poison. It would still suck though :)
