Harry Potter

Got to talk to jolena last night, and we fangirled HP for awhile. We've established two, maybe three things:



Sirius is NOT DEAD.
Dumbledore is going to bite it.
Book Six is probably going to destroy us.

We won't even start discussing book seven yet. Anyway, all this talk of HP reminds me I need to go out and buy the paperbacks, for to reread everything before book six arrives. So will probably do that Friday.

NOT DEAD.

See, this whole death in the 6th book thing? I think it's going to be Draco. I've been told that my reasoning is shit, but here we go:

JKR said that the hint to who would die in book 6 was hinted at in the third movie.

In PoA the novel, and later on in OotP, they feed Buckbeak dead rats. It's very clear, as they say multiple times, that they feed him rats.

In PoA the movie, they feed Buckbeak dead ferrets. Again, they say many times, very clearly, that these are dead ferrets, not rats, and they have the visual to go along with it.

Why would they change rat to ferret? There's no good reason for it, that I can see, at least. Your average sized ferret is biger than your average sized rat, yes, but not much bigger than a large rat. Plus, rats are a more gruesome image to begin with, and more typically the thing you feed a carnivorous animal. Rats, mice, etc, etc...

But they emphasize the fact that Buckbeak is eating dead ferrets. Through a simple euclidian proof:

Draco = Ferret
Ferret = Dead

Therefore: Draco = Dead

Which makes me so. fucking. worried. You see, Draco also = teh lurve.

If Draco dies I quit.

Basically. I'm expecting great, obnoxious, YOU LITTLE WEASEL things from Draco. None of this tacky death shit.
