| | Five Ways to End Harry Potter
With the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows just one week away, the New York Times published a five part opinion section article that included Five Ways to End Harry Potter. Quote:
So here we are: at the end of the “Harry Potter” decade. The books have been printed and are under lock and key. (Presumably.) J. K. Rowling has made her choices. Harry is either going to live or die. Severus Snape is either evil or good — or maybe a little bit of both. Ginny will stick with Harry, and Ron will hook up with Hermione. Or not. Eager readers still have to wait a fortnight or so for answers to these questions.
Several authors and an artist including Damon Lindelof (“Lost” head writer), Meg Cabot (novelist), Larry Doyle (former “The Simpsons” writer and current screenwriter), Polly Harvath (author) and Andrea Dezso (artist) were all asked to write or draw how they believe Harry Potter should end. Two of the pieces are what fans would call fan fiction. The Boy Who Lived by Damon Lindelof: Quote:
Maybe if He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named tossed one final spell at Harry? Like a mega-Avada Kedavra curse that nobody had ever survived? And if Harry, like, did some kinda Matrix-slow-motion move and used his wand to deflect? And then his opponent like totally exploded everywhere into a thousand pieces of reptilian flesh? If, like, Harry blew on the end of his wand and said, “I told you not to curse, Voldemort.”

DAVE But still, defeating the Dark Lord, even if he did turn out to be your grandpa, is quite an accomplishment. I mean, you killed the bad guy — HARRY Actually, he’s not dead. He will suffer in Azkaban for all eternity like the many souls he himself tormented.
[/b]DAVE [Letterman][/b] Right. But you got the girl. HARRY Yes, Ginny. DAVE So that’s good, right? You defeated the bad guy. You got the girl. All the nice dead people came back to life. And you’re now head of the whole wizarding operation. So you’ve got yourself a completely happy ending, right? HARRY No one was expecting that. But yes, exactly.
Click link for full article. Made in Hogwarts by Larry Doyle: Quote:
Harry hadn’t seen any of it coming. Certainly not that he himself had been the final Horcrux, the host of Voldemort’s soul the whole time. He realized it only when Voldemort was on top of him, clawing the lightning bolt from his forehead, gobbling it greedily. At that moment, Voldemort became mortal, and the next, he was hit by a bus. Not even a magic bus at that.
Harry looked about the Leaky Cauldron. It seemed darker and shabbier than usual.
“I’ll tell you something,” Ron was prattling on. “I’ve had enough of wizarding after that.”
Two hooded men sat at a far table, not speaking to one another. Harry heard a scraping, and glanced down as a huge rat scabbered across his feet and disappeared.
“I’m going to Hollywood,” said Ron. “That’s where the real magic happens.”
Click link for full article. Hermione Tells All by Polly Horvath: Quote:
“And looking for a job now, are you?” asked the waitress, pointing at the newspapers with the circled ads on Hermione’s table.
“Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? Once you graduate, oh, sure, you’ve got the ruddy degree in witchcraft and the dark arts but whatcha gonna do with it? Doesn’t half pay the rent. I got me a new tack now. I’m writing some books. Seven or so. Gonna sell them and make some money. I got the whole thing planned out.”
“So, writing a little fantasy, are you?”
“Not ruddy likely. Genre’s been overdone to death. Nope, just writing about my experiences with the Death Eaters and Dark Lords and Dementors. Write what you know.”

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

ROFLOL. I love that one. Actually, I love all of them. I know I have my own theories about what might happen, but I'm so excited to read the book, I know I'll love anything JKR decides to put down. She knows Harry's world the best, after all - what she chooses to make happen is what SHOULD happen. Now we just have wait. Quote:

That would make me so happy. lol |

They are all great but these two quotes make me laugh a lot! Quote:
“I’m going to Hollywood,” said Ron. “That’s where the real magic happens.”
Quote:

This is great stuff!!! xD
