Anyone read it yet/want to discuss it? I just finished it a few minutes ago, and man, it was tough to get through the end. I have to admit it was pretty intense for me.:eek:

Anyways, I won't talk about what happened just yet, I'm not sure how many other HP fans are out there and spent a lot of time reading it right away, but I'd like to hear from you!

After reading book 6, I still think Snape is Dumbledore's man.

Welcome to the Harry Potter universe Bail!

Although there are not as good as the books, you should check out the movies as well.

Hmm.... If I remember right it was called "The Sorcerer's Stone", or was called that in America at least. Don't know if the name is different elsewhere.



No, all over the world it is called The Philosophers Stone, except they changed it in USA, have no idea why :confused:


because we americans are not the brightest bunch, and don't know what Philosopher's are. Actually, i think they just realized that a book about Philosophers wouldn't do as well as a book about sorcerer's. Sorcerer's sound more adventerous(sp?)

The book rocked, drove me till the end, and it was tough to tear myself apart from it. As always, it's left me with that feeling of surprise but with a "I should've expected that". I mean, JKR fed us a with Snape's betrayal in the first Chapter (although I thought he was still "Dumbledore's man";). Now, I'm left with exactly the same feeling as the Order of the Pheonix... can't wait till next summer.:P

Edit: Kudos, JKR.

One thought I saw in another forum, which goes along with what Jaina said, was that the drink he took contained part of Voldemort's soul, so he became a Horcrux, meaning he would have to be killed. There was a second where Snape stared at Dumbledore, where perhaps they were communicating, since they were both skilled Legilimen. Dumbledore could have told Snape to kill him in that small amount of time, which would explain why he was pleading, since the book stated that Dumbledore is not afraid of death. This theory doesn't explain the note though, unless perhaps the author (R.A.B.) was mistaken?

On the subject of the pheonix. I heard once, that Gryfindor(i know its spelled wrong, sorry), was supposedly one of those annimorgus(sp?) and his animal was a Pheonix. That would mean, that he could in a sence live forever, as long as when he came close to dieing he went to the phoenix form.
That means that he could come outa left field and help Harry to save the day. Or maybe, Dumbldore, even being good, had a horcrux...anyone else thought of that? He could have had a stroke of evil we never know

Who told you that?

*SPOILER*

u all assume Snape is evil now. Its possible that Dumbledore was already dieing (cause of that mangled arm), so he and Snape decided that if the time came it would be better to kill him than to blow Snape's cover.

Of course thats just one POV


aye its possible

Spoilers...






Anyone care to guess who R.A.B. is? Borgin or Burke? one of Sirius's relatives who had a first name with a first letter R?

Also, I saw this posted in another forum...
Dumbledore used phoenix as examples and other things like that. Since Phoenixs rise from their ashes more powerful than they were, think Dumbledore will do the same? Although he is not a phoenix, it is still an interesting point.
