Harry Potter Article: Is this really the end?

posted by caintil31

Since the 7th book is out and has probably been read by most of the Harry Potter fans, does this really mean that the Potter mania is over? When I finished the book, I immediately reread it just trick to myself into thinking it wasn't over. For a while I was in a state of Potter denial. I kept thinking that it's not over and there will be loads more books after the 7th. I have finally realized that it's over and done with. But it got me thinking.

Will we ever have another great series like Harry Potter?

It's possible that we might not see another great series for 5, 10, or even 20 years. It might not be as good as Harry Potter, but there's hope.

But maybe we won't have to wait. Maybe the Potter mania isn't really over. With Fanfic, Fanart, Wizard Rock and everything wizard related the Potter legacy still continues. So, maybe it isn't the end.

kathiria82 Well I'm convinced that the books are done but definitely not Potter mania. We still have the last two movies to look forward to so that will make Potter mania last for some time. In my opinion true fans will find a way to help Harry Potter live forever. ;)

caintil31 actually a little bit before the release of book 7, I started a potter wall. I have movie posters(two of them are in a different language), photos of cast members, articles from magazines, I even have the black family tree.

ingercarin I think this is almost the end. Rowling has said that she will not write anything more about Harry, but she has also said that she will write an encyclopedia-ish book about the stories of the other characters in the books. I think it could be possible for her to continue writing about the Hogwarts-universe, there could be other stories, and other main characters:)

dlyteful I think it would be interesting for her to write about the next generation, Harry & Ginny's children, Ron & Hermione's, Draco's....that would be cool. The ending was vague but based on Albus' question of why is everyone staring at them it would be interesting to know how much and what they shared with their children about the Order and Voldemort.

slytherin360 she should write about the black family! i find it so interesting lol. or the death eaters perspective! that would be great. :)

Mizzsweety Im pretty disapointed that its over as I only just started to like harry potter when the deathly hallows part 2 came out. I agree with dlyteful, I would be really interested to see what happens with the children.

Potttermore-Ghost Plot

J.K. Rowling's thoughts

This is a personal expression, which has nothing to do with tales of the dead.

Over the seventeen years that I planned and wrote the seven Harry Potter books (not to mention Quidditch through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard), I generated a mass of information about the magical world that never appeared in the books. I liked knowing these things (which was fortunate, given that I couldn't stop my imagination spewing it all out) and often, when I needed a throwaway detail, I had it ready because of the background I had...

Calypso p.7

Calypso's P.O.V.

Being dead wasn't bad at all. No sarcasm. When Calypso died, her soul landed in a big red room. No,it wasn't a room, but like a big red empty space. Different souls were cruised around her, to see who she was. Calyspo heard one soul say "Another one? Why are we getting so many kids?"

"Tiss a shame, there all dying far to young." another said sadly. Calypso raised an eyebrow. A lot of the souls left, but one remained. It was Dumbledor.

"Calypso Cryson. Seventh year, Slytherin. I remember you all right. Even though you did you best to avoid being seen by me, I noticed the resemblance...

Lord Voldemort Takes a Facebook Survey

Credit: link. I didn't write it myself.

"I like taking pointless Facebook surveys as much as the next person. But, since they’re mostly about kissing, I started to wonder how someone completely incapable of feeling love might handle such things. So I just had to tag my good pal Lord Voldemort in my most recent survey. Here's what he had to say:

Was your last kiss standing up, sitting down, or lying down?
The only kiss I believe in is the Dementor's kiss, and as I have very little soul remaining in my withered husk of a body, one would have little effect on me.

Whose bed were you on last?

The Bravest Man I Ever Knew

posted by siriusblack4eva

Severus Snape was, in fact The Bravest Man I Ever Knew. "Albus Severus, you were named for two headmasters at Hogwarts, one of them was a Slytherin. And he was, probably, the bravest man I ever knew." Severus Snape fought for what was right. "A true wizard on the inside. Not afraid of what he had to do" "Long ago I had a teacher. A sallow skinned Slytherin with long black hair. I hated him and he seemed to hate me too. Though I branded him a coward, he was, in fact, the bravest man I ever knew."
So, I say, to Severus Snape, 'You were the Bravest Man I Ever Knew. Long live Snape! He was "a true wizard on the inside."'
To Snape!

Hermione dashed up the stairs to the Gryffindor commons.
"That selfish pig. That sad excuse for a pure-blood! That-"
Ron sauntered up behind her, and put his arms around her waist. During this particular year, (6th) he was being especially romantic. His red hair was illuminated by the fire behind them.
"Oh!" Hermione gasped. "Hello Ronald, how's your evening?"
He swayed her back and forth slowly, and kissed her cheek. "Better now your here."
She giggled. "Cheesy, yet effective." Hermione reached up and kissed Ron's cheek.

Ways to annoy Voldemort. (Hilarious!)

posted by galou_2010

1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'

2. Laugh at him.

3. Wake him up by singing Beach Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'

4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.

5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.

6. Smile during Death-Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows.

7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.

8. Dance the Funky Chicken.

9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath.

10. Pat him on...

September 1981
Godrics Hollow pub.

Lily was looking around as though she were scared of who may come knocking. It was an eerie night but the moon managed to peak between the clouds that were circulating above, then..the pub door opened and in walked her old friend Severus.

" Lily"..said Severus taken aback by her beauty in the gleam of the moonlight. Her pale silky smooth skin, Beautiful Autumn colored hair and Emerald green eyes that sparkled like diamonds.

" You..you came" Said Snape

"Of course" said Lily " I know you never...meant to call me what you did Sev, besides I might not have much time."...

Remembering Severus Snape

posted by LifesGoodx3

Severus Snape

Severus Snape was killed on May 2nd, 1998, by Voldemort. Voldemort killed him because he thought that Snape was the master of the Elder Wand, and if he killed him, then he would be the master.

Snape is a half-blood. He did not have a good childhood. It is possible that he was neglected at home. Also, he was bullied by James Potter and Sirius Black from the moment he started attending the school. Taking the bullying to far once, Sirius almost led Snape to a certain death. Sirius told Snape about the hidden passageway under the Whomping Willow, which led to the Shrieking Shack. There Remus Lupin...

How reliable source the Harry Potter Wiki is?

posted by bendaimmortal

I don't consider the Harry Potter Wiki as reliable. Because according to its canon policy: if Rowling hasn't specifically denied something about a film in the books or in other words, whatever the films say is to be first and foremost promoted in the articles as a canon fact instead of the books' facts.

In my logic it should be the other way around. That the books' canon should be promoted first and foremost - exactly becasuse the books are the tier 1 canon and the movies only the tier 2 or 3 even - and because we can not be sure what about the films are from Rowling's hints and what are just...

Sunrise, Sunset : Sequel to Minerva

posted by mbalzar

June 1, 1998
Minerva was sitting in her favorite place on the shore of the lake, watching the sun rise over the silent grounds. Just to be alive, to see the first light of day hit the castle that stood, so resolutely, silhouetted against fading stars, was a blessing. This was Minerva's favorite time of day because, for a few shining moments, all seemed to be as it should be; as the sun rose higher into the sky, the castle would come to life, and the students and professors alike would sit in the great hall and talk of meaningless things and be bathed in the fresh morning...

MIDNIGHT BREAK IN

It was a beautiful, bright, sunny morning, and everyone was outside, having the time of their lives, for school was near. All except one boy on Privet Drive.

Harry Potter sat on his bed, locked in his room, waiting for his owl, Hedwig, to return. She had gone to deliver letters to Harry's friends four nights ago and still hasn't returned.

The Dursleys had gone to a summer party. They were probably having a great time, while Harry was in his room. The party was supposed to last until midnight. Harry started to feel sleepy, then the room went black.

Avada Kedavra For Dummies

This article will basically cover a few tips on how to cast the Killing Curse. It comes in very handy when muggles are being particularily noisy, specially after having been through the Cruciatus Curse. (both curses usually go hand in hand, unless you are in a hurry of course, then the Killing Curse is more efficient.)

Let's start with the three basic points: the Incantation, Power of Mind and Proper use of the Wand.

1) The Incantation
First of all and perhaps most important: THE SPELLING of the incantation. It is NOT "Aveda kabrada", "Abba Kabreda" or, as the muggles have utterly...
