I should be writing other stuff, but I can't resist. Gakked from snorkackcatcher and a_t_rain...



1. Are you going to look at every possible spoiler you can before the book comes out? Did you with HBP and how accurate were the ones you saw?

I don't know. I'll probably say no and then look anyway, because I can't resist. But maybe not. I'm going to try to resist. I saw a lot of spoilers for HBP, and the most accurate ones were the ones two days or less before the release.

2. What will you do if Amazon (or whoever;) don't deliver your copy on time, and everyone is reading it except you?

Freak out. :) I won't be able to read it all right away anyway.

3. Will you read the last chapter before anything else? Are you planning to read the book all in one go or are you a slow reader?

I will try to read it all in one go and will probably fail. But I will probably peek at the last chapter, just to see if Harry lives.

4. What's your theory on the meaning of "Deathly Hallows?"

I'm with snorkackcatcher- it's where the Horcruxes are.

5. What's the craziest Harry Potter theory you've got, which you could only share with your trusted f-list?

Mine aren't too crazy. The best one I've got is Peter's hand can't transform.

6. If you could write in a sub-plot of your own choosing to the main Harry one, what would it be?

Believe it or not, nothing to do with Remus or Sirius. Something with Percy. I want resolution with Percy.

7. Who do you think will die in the book, and who would you be most upset to see die, even if you don't think it's likely?

The second first: RON. PLEASE don't kill Ron, JKR! Anyone else I can handle. Seriously. But Not. Ron!!!!!!!

My Death List:

Voldemort (a given)
Snape
Peter
Possibly Harry or Neville
Lots of minor characters
Fred or George, but not both
Arthur

I'm giving Remus a 50-50 shot. Honestly? I think he was the one who got the reprieve. Remus's arc works with both his death (all of MWPP killed off), or with him living (Remus as The Survivor). Him hooking up with Tonks hints to me that JKR was going to kill him off, but then changed her mind.

8. Name three main (ish) characters who you think will definitely live and why. Is there a very minor character(s) you really want to have a happy ending?

Hermione: I can't see what point her death would make.
Draco: After the last book, I'm totally betting on it.
Fleur: Must give Weasley grandchild named Harry or whatever-Weasley-croaks.

Very minor character I want a happy ending for? Hmmm. Firenze.

9. If you don't like the book, or are bitterly disappointed by it, do you think you'll still stay in the fandom?

I don't see myself staying active in the fandom terribly long after Book 7 regardless. I'll probably still poke around, but I'll hopefully have a second kid, and time will be very, very limited.

10. One word (or concise) answers only!

- Snape: good, evil, own agenda? Own Agenda
- Bill: will he help Remus or just be on permanent honeymoon? This is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, not Remus Lupin and the Werewolf Who Bit Him. But he'll be helping Remus in some way, because Remus is working to bring down Voldie. So is Bill.
- Peter: a Gryffindor moment or not? Of some sort.
- Harry: is he a Horcrux? No.
- The Weasleys: will they all survive? Bye, Fred and/or George.
- If no to the above: who won't? I hope Arthur will live.
- Did Snape love Lily: yay or nay! Probably :P
- Hogwarts: will they go back to school or not? At some point.
- Remus and Tonks: will they get married in the book? No. Bill and Fleur is enough, thanks! (Plus, Remus and Tonks seem much more the JoP type.) But IF they survive (which I'm still stuck on no), then probably in the epilogue. :P
- Bellatrix: who will be her nemesis? If it's anyone but Narcissa or Neville, I'll cry.
- The new leader of the OotP is ...? Mundungus? Someone ought to write that. Probably McG or Aberforth.
- Percy: will he see the error of his ways or not? This is what JKR does best, and I'm hoping desperately for a yes.


11. If Harry could take just one adult Order of the Phoenix member with him on the search for Horcruxes, who should it be and why?

I'd love to see it be Remus because I love Remus, but I like the Bill or Aberforth theories, too.

12. Will Remus and Greyback have a confrontation in human or werewolf form? Will Tonks be involved? Who will the other werewolves support?

No. See the title :)

13. Who is the person from Harry's class (and it isn't him, Ron or Hermione), who will become a Hogwart's teacher? What subject will they teach?

I still like Neville teaching Herbology, especially since it means Neville will live.

14. Do you think Harry will observe Remus looking less lined and walking with a little more of a spring in his step? If so, do you think he'll attribute it to Tonks, and if he does, will he blush?

::Gag:: Sorry. It's just the question... But yes, because now the boy has a sugar momma!

15. Will Ginny use, "But Professor Lupin saw the futility of being a noble prat!" for one of her million arguments with Harry about why they should be together? Do you think they'll get back together at all?

Harry will lose part of his powers because he has denied himself Ginny, successfully shutting me up about JKR's use of that being sexist, but not in any way corny. Ron will mock him mercilessly, as he well should. But yes, they'll get back together, and no, Ginny will not cite Remus.

16. Which house do you think Tonks is in, and why? Is she going to morph into someone important and who will it be?

I like the idea of Tonks in Ravenclaw, just because that's where I often put my Aurors. If she morphs into someone important, I'm guessing Harry. I still like the idea of Tonks as a traitor, because I am mean and viscious. :)

17. Who will be revealed to be the heir of Gryffindor?

Harry or Ron. It would be cool if it was Ron. Or Ginny!!!!!!

18. As JKR has promised the final chapter will be like an epilogue; how do you think the final paragraph (hopefully) donated to Remus' future, and/or Tonks', and/or anyone else you want to write a paragraph on, will read?

Force ghost! Force Ghost! I want Harry seeing MWPP reuninted and happy. FORCE GHOST!

God, for liking Remus so much, I'm awfully keen to see him die. Maybe I shouldn't have answered this when I have PMS.

For the record, I don't want him dead because of Tonks. I've thought Remus should die ever since Sirius did, because I am so for killing off all of MWPP. I want the boys together again- all four boys.

Which kinda makes the Remus/Tonks part irrelevant, since I don't think Tonks is a necropheliac.

19. Which question from the books would it annoy you most not to have answered?

This is stupid, but... WHAT THE HELL DID MWPP DO FOR A LIVING?


20. What do you think the last line of the book is?

Probably something about people loving or remembering Harry and his scar.
