I Know! one of my closest friends haven't read the books, even though I have recommended them (I tell her, if you like anime and mangam you'll love HP, but she doesn't read them because she says that there's too much commercialization with the movies and everything.. too bad she found out about the books after the movie boom, although I still don't lose hope that she'll read them eventually). That's why I love the internet, 'cause I get to talk with fantastic people like everyone here about HP, since my friends here don't read the books (I only had a classmate in college that was also reading them, and we talked a bit). I guess my friends would be in the "I dont care" category or something. My sister has read until book 4, but she's not such a big fan like I am. I bought book 5 in english (the only one in english I have so far) but she didn't read them. When the spanish version came out, I bought it for me and my dad because he likes HP very much, but I don't think he ships, so when he and I finished reading the spanish version, I lend it to her, but she is still in the part when Harry goes to trial or something, so I doubt she has shipping preferences, although she support my comments on H/Hr, I don't think she is like me, expecting an answer on that front. SO she would also be in the "I don't care category" most likely.

I agree with you somewhat. Mainly cause if Ginny or Luna don't get together with Harry by HBP then I'd say that those ships will have sunk in canon and that will pretty much just leave Hermione unless Cho somehow gets back on the scene.

Angel Of Fire, could I ask you where you heard about Hermione dying in book 6? Not that I don't believe this to be possible, it is one of my greatest concerns because Hermione is often not thought of possibly dying. Though, I am intrigued by the fact that JKR had been cagey when talking about the time turner and it's possible use again (in my opinion, when JKR is being cagey and vague, it means that it's very possible that it will not only come up again but be important).

I think that comment says more about the lack of support among fans of series for Hermione's character. It seems from her comments (and this is only my interpretation of the comments) about the subject that she feels that the majority of the fans don't care if Hermione dies or not. She's said in interviews that she receives tons of fan mail asking her not to kill Ron but hardly any for Hermione.

I chose the jump up and down screaming I knew it option. Since I live alone it will probably make me seem crazy to the neighbors ( but I'm sure they felt that way when I kept yelling, "No you can't kill so and so" and a few other choice phrases while reading OotP).

Now that I think about it....


I really dunno where I heard it. O_O

All I know is, I was talking about the sixth book with some people, who I forget, and I think one of them said that Hermione was gonna die.


Forgive me...my memory is really bad.

I believe Dashara read my mind and posted before I could. I voted on jumping up and down though because that's just how I am I suppose.

Bah! Why bother JKR could hire her own bodyguards with the money she makes off of the books. If I were you I'd get it all in one dollar bills (clean ones) and sleep in them.

You are so right, thanks

As for the glasses, dont worry about it, I know a lot of people with glasses and they look intellectual with them.

Oh and angel_of_fire I'm confident too, after reading OoP I had no doubt in my mind. And after reading the "Everyone is in love with the wrong person" quote, and the quote where J.K said one of the reasons Harry is a boy is because of Hremione.
I have no doubts, but me personally I say "if" because I dont want to sound smug like some R/Hr shippers here where I live.

Why thank you.

Quote (Harmione2004):

I dunno if this goes with the quote or not, but if I'm in the car with a friend who knows my H/hr obsession and a sweet/love song comes on, I'll start talking her ear off with how I think it fits HHr perfectly and stuff. Poor thing, she tries to follow what I'm saying, but she's not that passionate. I always tell my friends about quotes in the books that hint at HHr and they try to run away. And the next thing you see is them cornered by me with a book and reading the quote.

You are very welcome

I drive my friends crazy sometimes as well, (non HP fans) I point out songs that would be perfect for H/Hr and talk about quotes and moments why I think H/Hr will happen.

When H/Hr happens I'm going to go wild and drive my friends crazy.

Me too! Gosh, H/Hr and shipping in general has corrupted me, for the better may I add. I watched PoA again today (I stayed home from school) and was enveloped in a squee-fest. Kate J was right about the "Harry & Hermione sweet music" -- I actually heard the same theme over and over again everytime they were together or when Lupin mentioned something that had to do with Lily. (Hmm, possibly foreshadowing? *squee*)

Yea, that was slightly OT.

I'll probably have a celebratory party or something. Or run around the house screaming with joy.

I noticed that too.
Man oh man I wish the book was being released today, I want to start jumping up and down already.
I want to shout "I knew it" already.

What you were hearing was "A Window to the Past." It's a beautiful piece of music...I listen to it all the time on my PoA soundtrack. I actually noticed that the song was played whenever Harry and Lupin were onscreen in general. There were moments when it played and H/Hr were onscreen, but usually it involved Harry talking to Lupin. Sometimes they were talking about Lily and sometimes they weren't, so I'm not quite sure it's foreshadowing. Besides, if you listen to the whole thing, it sounds so sad.

Okay, back on topic...I'd run though my house shouting "I knew it! I knew it!" That's completely me. Then I'd go to my room and light my pumpkin candles, as they're my form of symbolism.

Yeah I noticed that too. But, everytime I heard it when he was with Lupin, they were talking about something that concerned Lily. Like, on the bridge and even when Harry asked Lupin to help him defend himself against the Dementors. The way that instance concerned Lily [in a way] is Lupin was talking about why Harry was so effected - the events of that fateful night that cost Lily and James their lives. I could be reaching at that theory, but its still probable.

Love this music also. I sometimes play the dvd and start at the credits just to listen to this music.I don't really find it sad, maybe solemn but still sweet. At least now I know it's name. Thanks

Just in case anybody is interested it can heard at the following scenes:

- Lupin and Harry bridge scene
- Lupin and Harry near lake where Harry ask to be thought the patronus charm.
- Lupin and Harryat the astronomy tower after the Patronus lesson
- Timeturning Harry and Hermione at the edge of dark forest , Harry telling Hermione about sirius invitation to live with him instread with the dursleys.
- Sirius- Harry talk before Sirius and buckebeak scape.
- not sure but i think it was also played when Sirius was inviting Harry to come live with him, before Lupin turned to a werewolf.

(sorry for the long off topic post, I cant help it , really love this music.
)

I really like PoA music is soooo cute!
