I am reading the end of HPV

[dangermousie]

and crying.

Poor Harry. Before V came out I thought that JKR would kill off anyone BUT Sirius because it would be the worst thing that could happen to Harry. It is losing a father all over again...

And Harry blames himself.

He has got to be SUCH a mess in the beginning of VI. He was a mess at the beginning of V and then the person who died was a classmate he barely knew and not even the most masochistic person could blame himself. But now...it's the closest thing he had to a father, and he thinks it's his fault.

I started crying when he was trashing Dumbledore's office....pooor boy.

*cries*

I know. That was just wrong. Sirius was my favorite character, dammit. I was right there with Harry, trashing the office. :(

Oh, Sirius was my favorite too. Btw, it just struck me that Canon Sirius=Fanon Draco (i.e. powerful wizard from an evil, noble, and possibly abusive family who rebels against everything in his upbringing to join the side of good. Though, unlike fanon Draco, fat lot he gets out of it).

When I got the book at one of those midnight things, I spent the night reading it and I had to be on an early morning flight. There I was, still reading it, eyes puffy from lack of sleep, crying like a maniac, and the man sitting mext to me clearly thought I was insane.

I'm rather looking forward to reading Order of the Phoenix again. I reread 'em all before the newest book comes out and thus am least familiar with that one.

This is only the second time I read OotP and i enjoyed it more this time around since I could read more leisurly and not gulp it all at once.

It's always easier to take your time when you're not all "How does it end? HOW DOES IT END?" :>

I am re-reading the first one (I'm gonna try and re-read them all, actually), and am at the part where Harry finds the dead unicorn in the forst. Firenze the centaur saves Harry when Voldemort, who killed the unicorn advances on him. But was Voldemort really going to try to kill him? I mean, Voldemort didn't gain immunity to Harry's-mother's-love-charm-thing until Goblet of Fire, so if Voldemort had tried again to kill Harry, wouldn't it have backfired again?

Not that I mean to change your post into a HP discussion or anything.

But Voldie doesn't know that at that point (just as in V Dumbledore says that since V didn't know the whole prophesy, he went to kill Harry when he was a baby which was a mistake). He only learns about "mom's love" later. (Book 2, I think).

Right. So if Firenze had just let Voldie try to kill Harry, mightn't it have reduced Voldie to an even lower common denominator, stalling his return even longer or preventing it entirely? I'm just wondering if all the pain and sorrow in the books to come might have been prevented if Firenze hadn't done that.

Well, according to prophesy in V, Harry actually has to kill Voldie (or vice versa). Until then, there is this battle thingy between them (so eloquent today). V might have been unable to harm HP, but I don't know if it would have reduced Voldie to an even lesser form.

I'm still totally convinced that Sirius is alive. They never fully explain the veil, and it just seems weird that he would be dead. I know I'm wrong, but still. He lives, I tell you. Just like Elvis.

Sirius/Elvis OTP?

0_0 Dude. I need an icon of that.

Ahh, you just reminded me that I need to read OOTP again!
