Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows discussion thread

You know the Deluminator, is that what JKR called the Put-Outer in the first book? XD

Yeah. I think it was only in this book that the proper name was given because Dumbledore had named it so, and we were watching from the POV of an outsider, a fly-on-the-wall, if you like.

Severus Snape:

I said that the Cup would be hidden in Bellatrix's vault and that there would be a load of identical cups in there, which was kinda true because they kept multiplying. Harry would have to some how break into the vault to get to it. I was also right, sadly, about Lupin and Tonks dying, although in the wrong circumstances.

Saddest part of the book: Dobby dying

I know.
The moment I realized the shit was in Bellatrix's vault I was like "Omg mom! Some stranger on the net I talked to said this would happen AND IT DID!"

I kind of hated the epilogue. I dunno why, it just seemed pretty cheesy to me, although probably necessary. I did like the whole thing with Malfoy though ( =
Also, why was Teddy Lupin going to Hogwarts? He shoulda been 19 at the time..

Yeah, I mentioned the Teddy thing before

It said he as seeing 'Victorie' off.

It seemed like she took a fan fiction off LivJournal or something and just put in a makeshift epilogue.

You know what I'm gonna do?
Well. Yeah. I'm going on holiday for a week on Thursday and when I'm bored on the 14 hour ferry to Belgium (>_> ) I'm going to write my own version of the epilogue
'cause, I mean, I liked it, didn't love it, but I think it needed something more. More closure, kinda.

You know when Hermione and Ron are telling Harry in Rons room that they know what they are getting themselves into and that they have already taken precautions? Well Hermione says she put a memory charm on her parents to protect them, right?

Well in 'A Place To Hide' Harry says they need to a put a memory charm on the Death Eaters that have found them, Ron says he has never done a memory charm and then so does Hermione but then she says she has read the theory and then performs it.

She just likes to read book duh.

But she said she had performed it on her Parents earlier on and then said she had never done it before... thats what I am getting at

I was just about to start reading A Place to Hide when I realised, and jumped straight on here.

Hermione MODIFIED her parents' memories, changed them.

Harry, on the other hand, REMOVED the death eaters' memories.

I think there's a difference. Well, I'm quite sure. Because the incantation of the spell Harry used is 'oblivate' and to be oblivious is to not know at all. Hermione's parents weren't oblivious, as such, they had just been changed completely.

Did Hermione implant false memories on her parents, like Voldemort did to Hokey and Morfin in HBP? I think she might've
Not removing the memory, but putting a false one in it's place.

I think she modified, like Kingsley did to Marietta. Because when you're implanting false memories, it's making them think they've done something specific, which they haven't, but modifying is just changing their thoughts so they think something different.

It's hard to explain, but I think implanting flase memories is dark magic, and Hermione wouldn't do that. I think it was just modifying them. I dunno. I think there's a difference, mostly because JKR wouldn't have Hermione do something which Voldemort did, even if she was doing it to protect them.

I think the difference would be that Morfin remembered killing the Riddles and all of that, whereas the Grangers just think they've always wanted to move to Australia and they're living there now.

This is a terribly uneloquent and rambling post, and I apologise, perhaps you can make some sense of i t.

You can modify a memory. Kingsley to Marietta like FP! said and Tom to Hokey and Morfin. I think they mention it in an earlier book anyways.

Discussion point. Or whatever.

Who thinks the Kings Cross scene was real, and who thinks it was a dream?

I reckon it was real

It was both, I think.

Because Dumbledore said, "Why shouldn't it be real, just because it's in your head?"

Something like that, anyway. But I hardly think it was a dream, because all the information would have had to have been in the back of Harry's mind somewhere, and I doubt it was. I think it was some sort of Room of Requirement Limbo place, where he's not quite dead and not quite alive, but he can get whatever he wants: robes, an explanation, all of that.

Another Dimension?!

I say it's real, Harry can't get the info out of his head just like that.

I don't think it really matters in the end, because whether it was real or not, Harry still found out what he needed to know.

Agreed

And, we can't make anymore theories cause there aren't going to be more books.

Maybe Dumbledore is God and thats his version of heaven
