All Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows discussion here

*SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*

pretty funny how everybody made a HUGE fuss about Harry surviving the killing curse once when he was a baby. EVERYBODYS GONNA GO NUTS NOW THAT HES SURVIVED IT TWICE. Thats a wizarding record nobody can beat, not even dumbledore! If Harry was in the same place as dumbledore, why didn't dumbledore go back as well? Or was it just a dream.

*SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*

If Harry was in the same place as dumbledore, why didn't dumbledore go back as well? Or was it just a dream.

Airio

*SPOILERS!!!** SPOILERS**

The reason Harry could go back, and Dumbledore couldn't, is that Harry still had a connection to the living world due to his connectionto Voldemort. And we can reasonably assume the King's Crossing scene wasn't just a dream based on all of the new information Harry received from Dumbledore during that encounter, which seemed to take place somewhere in Harry's mind.

If I were going to ask a question about that scene it would be why couldn't Harry's parents be there too?

i finished reading the book yesterday

i wish they said in the 19 years later whether or not Neville and LUna got married

[spoiler] Who was that raw-skinned creature in Harry's dream? (One that was making many noises). Oh! And why was Voldemort knocked out when he casted Avada Kedavra at Harry? I finished the book yesterday, it was good. [/spoiler] MFaraz_Hayat

[spoiler] I have two theories about the raw-skinned creature. Either its the piece of Voldemort that was left inside Harry after he survived the killing curse the first time, or it was Voldemort's future if he didn't learn remorse. As for the curse turning back on Voldemort, for one, the Elder Wand belonged to Harry, so it wouldn't kill him, and two, Harry had the support of all his friends around him. [/spoiler]

***SPOILER***

i think lupin and tonks should have lived or at least one of them it seemed devastating that they just had a kid and then died. i guess it works out in the end with harry being his god father it just seems to me it would be better if they were alive

***SPOILER*** ****SPOILER****

YAY! SNAPE TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD GUY!!! Knew it all along...

[spoiler] i was really glad when neville turned out to be a teacher at hogwarts. After the 3rd book when one of the teachers was saying that neville is absolutley hopeless at every subject except herbology, i had a feeling he would turn out to be a teacher in that subject....made me glad. [/spoiler]

I'am still undecided whether i liked the epilogue or not. While it did explain some characters lives after, it still left some questions hanging for me.

[spoiler] and i think it sucked that there was no scene or anything mentioning fred's death that much. besides harry thinking "fred weasley can't be dead" that was about it...... made me kinda mad that fred just sorta died then that was it. Didn't anyone else feel horrible for George? losing a twin would be so weird [/spoiler]

Looks like Harry Potter isn't quite done yet... J.K. Rowling said in an interview with the today show that another book is on the way. Apparently it will be an encyclopedia that explains the full stories of all the characters, as well as things that book 7 didn't quite explain. Don't click the link if you don't want spoilers, though.Mumbles527

I suspected she would do something like that.

I finished the book a few hours ago.

Have to say it was the best one by far.

[spoiler] anybody else think it was weird when the same defence against the dark arts teacher from the sixth book was still there when the position was supposedly cursed? [/spoiler]

[spoiler] Snape became headmaster and one of the Carrows became Defence against the dark arts teacher ;) [/spoiler]

...was anyone disapointed with the epilogue? I LOVED the book but realy...What did we learn that we didnt already know? also what the heck happened to Harry? Hes not a auror and hes not head master?!?! mgreener_34

thats very true they really didnt tell us anything. maybe she was settin us all up to be forced to buy the encyclopedia someone else mentioned.

but if the elder wand would not attack harry then how did he die? and you cant say he didnt die, because if he had not died then voldemort would not have been able to die, since harry's death was a prerequisite for that happening. this means that the elder wand must have killed harry back in the circle (assuming he was using the elder wand). if that is so then why could it not attack him later when it backfired and killed voldemort?

[spoiler] the avada kedavra voldemort used on harry in the forest killed the part of voldemort that was in harry because he was a horcrux. so technically the elder wand did not attack harry. [/spoiler]

ahhh i see this could be interpreted as attacking the horcrux, not harry. thanks, great answer.

[spoiler] I found it odd that they never mentioned much of what happened to Luna. She was a fairly major character who just fell of the map. We know what happened to Harry, Ron, Herm, Neville, and hell, even Draco, but Luna is no where to be found, but aside from that, it was good.

Except I didn't like the huge explanation of everything that went down between the little discussion with Dumbledore. [/spoiler]

So how does everyone like the book so far?nobodyshero87

Ive read it twice already, and I absolutely loved it. It is by far the best in the series, and I cannot wait until the movie comes out. The movie had better be at least longer than Goblet of Fire, there is just too much important material that needs to go into it. It was also by far the saddest book of them all, mostly due to..

[spoiler] Fred, Lupin and Tonks dying, not to mention Dobby. I actually laughed when Hedwig died though...lol... [/spoiler]

I though the ending was pretty lame, i expected so much more.Kiuk

After everything that happened in the book, I was happy to get some closure...

I just finished it...

Note: These are actually spoilers...some people use the spoiler boxes for fun sometimes, but this is serious business...

[spoiler] It was so good! :cry: Even though I had predicted that Harry was the last Horcrux, the part where he realized it still got to me. :( And Dumbledore was amazing in King's Cross. I loved that part. When they make the movie, I hope they're not afraid to make it like three hours long...a lot of stuff needs to be in the movie. [/spoiler]

Note: Spoilers above. :P

No, he couldn't have had all 3 Hallows. Voldemort still had the Elder Wand, but Harry had the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak.
