Potter Profile - Elladora

August 7, 2005



Give us your review of Half-Blood Prince.
Oh, wow. No that's not it. I was completely surprised, but in a good way! The opening few chapters were fantastic, with 'The Other Minister' and 'Spinners' End', My views on Snape were thrown into turmoil! *laughs* I didn't know what side he was on anymore! But my favourite chapter would have to be 'Will's and Wont's. I fell in love with Dumbledore all over again! I got a bit annoyed with him at the end of the Order of the Phoenix, though I understand the reason's why he kept everything from Harry, etc. And I loved learning about Voldemort's past. It was incredibly liberating to finally know how he got to be the was he is! Oh, I was so happy when Harry and Ginny kissed! Hehe, I punched the air yelling "HELL YEAH!, finally!" Though I knew it was too good to be true. But Hermione! I had no idea that she cared for Ron to such an extent. And RON! Oh deary me, Won won? Haha, I loved that. Don't like Slughorn, though...

Did you like the third movie or not and why?
If I don't compare it to the book, I loved it! I thought it was a really fantastic adaptation, and that Alfonso did a great job following on from Chris. I loved the Time-turner scene, it's also my favourite part in the book, I thought it was done really well, and Harry's like "wtf?" haha. I didn't mind the new Dumbledore either. I was worried, and I think it may take me a bit to get used to him, as I loved Richard Harris in the first two movies. And Hermione! Kicked Ass! Sirius is awesome. Love Gary Oldman, such a diverse actor! ... But don't ask me about comparing it to the book. I'll be writing for hours! Hehe

If you could spend the day as one character from the books, who would it be?
Oh, tough question... It would have to be either Voldemort or Dumbledore. The fact that they're both amazing wizards and the depth of their knowledge and power would be so incredible. But if I must pick one, I'd probably choose Voldemort. He'd be so twisted inside, from his childhood and after the curse from Harry's mother, it'd be so fascinating.

What is your favorite moment of the series so far?
Definetely from the Goblet of Fire, 3rd Task, in the maze and afterwards in the Gravesite with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. The whole time I was reading that part was so intense I thought I would burst. I didn't want to read too fast in case I missed anything, but I wanted to hurry up and see what would happen! So many emotions were running through me after Cedric was killed and Peter went through the ritual to bring Voldemort back. Cried a lot! And Priori Incantatem! *jaw drops* Oh man, such a powerful moment!

Is Snape REALLY good or evil and is Dumbledore REALLY dead?
Snape has to be good still! Too many factors rise up in his defense. He was hesitating when Narcissa asked him to make the Unbreakable Vow with her, And Dumbledore begged Snape! Begged him to go through with it? Cause Dumbledore already knew what was going on, perhaps? And why didn't Snape just throw a curse at Harry? Rather than just blocking them. Sure, Snape wasn't to kill Harry, leave him to Voldemort as requested, but... It doesn't make sense. And the fact that Snape was so... Angry! When Harry called him a coward. I was surprised with that. I wouldn't think that something like that would bother a servant of the Dark Lord. And yes, I believe Dumbledore is dead. We all saw it happen. It would be terribly improper for JK to bring him back, especially after Sirius. And didn't she say at one point, "Once you're dead, that's it?"

Will Harry survive the 7th book?
Well, I'm not sure, but I have to believe that he will. After all that he's been through, it may seem right for him to die for a just cause, or he must die so Voldemort will etc. But I'd rather him survive after the war and see all the good he's actually done. Plus I don't think (and I don't think I'm alone in this) I could handle Harry dying. After everything that's happened and will happen in the last chapter!

Do you have anything else you'd like to add? Maybe a theory you've concocted, a shout-out?
I don't like to theorise much as I like to just let the story flow as it happens, rather than try to analyse what everything could mean, etc. Also I've just had a bunch of friends I have to say hi to *rolls eyes* so, Hi Asher! Hi Pam! Hi Sarah! Hi at everyone at Angus and Robertson! Emerson, you're a dude! Loved the Wall of Shame Special Ed. Fantastic! Was in stitches :D Love MuggleNet, you all do such a great job, wish I could work with you all! Goblet of Fire layouts, Hell yeah!

Editors note: I'm still not sure what was meant by "Emerson, you're a dude!"

Quotes
Harry learned quickly not to feel too sorry for the gnomes. He decided just to drop the first one he caught over the hedge, but the gnome, sensing weakness, sank its razor-sharp teeth into Harry's finger and he had a job shaking it off — until — "Wow, Harry — that must've been fifty feet..."
