    Just wanted to jump in here on the RAB question. I was loving the idea of RAB being Sirius's brother Regulus. However, there is one inconvenient problem with that: Regulus is dead. I picked up Book 5 on CD-ROM to listen to during my commute and I heard the part where Sirius is going over the family tree tapestry for Harry and he says that Regulus had been a death eater and that he died long ago. Sorry....

    I think there is a definite connection between Fawkes and Dumbledore. D will return. How, and in what form, I don't know. But seeing the cycle Fawkes goes through every so often - dying, then being reborn - I believe is a type and shadow of Dumbledore in one way or another.

    what are they cutting out of the 4th movie that was in the book..i know the dursleys arent gonna be in it and percys not and the s.p.e.w thing isnt but what else

  • 644 - eriqo

    Sep 18, 2005 at 3:43 pm

    About the s.p.e.w thing not being in the book:

    NO COMPLAINTS HERE. That was the worst chapter in the book. They should spend more time on the duel between Harry and Voldemort.

    I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ONE BTWN DUMLEDORE N VOL IN ORDER IN OotP!!

    Who's with me?!

    if all the house elves were permanently removed from the plot i would be a happier fan. the only good scene with them in it was when dobby blasted malfoy sr.... and only because it was amusing.

    RAB IS Regulus! The missing locket was in the Black house... along with the music box only no one could open it. The part of the 3rd film that was not in the book is the conversation between Remus Lupin and Harry where Lupin tells Harry how Lily saw the good in everybody etc. It opens up the possibility that Snape had been a good friend, even boyfriend and explains James dislike for him... jealously and all that. Dumbledore insisted that he had to get back to Snape. Snape had an unbreakable vow with Snape to be killed. Now that the four people who loved Harry are dead, four very powerful wizards Lily James Sirius and Dumbledore, they will give Harry the strength to overcome Voldermort the power of LOVE! after all as Dumbledore said, death is the next great adventure for the organised mind... even if Snape could put a stopper in it!

    I don't think dumbledore is dead!
    And here is some proof!
    Every other time we've seen the Avada Kedavra performed, the victim simply falls over dead.However, in Half-Blood Prince, when Snape curses Dumbledore with the same spell, Dumbledore violently flies up and away from the tower.WHY would this application of the Avada Kedavra be so different from every other time we've seen it?

    RAB...

    Jump back to O of the P. What do we know about the archway that Sirius Black fell through? I know all the wizards are saying Sirius is dead. Perhaps he is. Perhaps he is merely in a different dimension...

    But was there an explanation of what the archway was and I missed it? Is there a possibility that RAB could be Sirius?

  • 666 - eriqo

    Oct 04, 2005 at 8:25 pm

    RAB A WOMAN??
    How come we are all assuming that RAB is a man? JK wants you all to believe its a man and you're all falling for it.

    THE "A" IN RAB=and
    as in R and B (somebody else)

  • 667 - hxmusic

    Oct 06, 2005 at 1:39 pm

    to 666

    Your theory might be right, but most people don't include "A" when it stands for "and".

    Any thoughts on the Sirius' arch?

  • 668 - with karate ill kik ur ass

    Oct 06, 2005 at 1:46 pm

    i think it was just a good way of discribing the way he fell and nothing more.

    but the mirror. i hope we see much more of it.

  • 669 - Larry

    Oct 07, 2005 at 4:33 am

    I hope in book 7 jk takes us to Azkaban. So much has been written about it but we've never actually been there as readers.

  • 670 - hm

    Oct 08, 2005 at 4:13 pm

    david--maybe thats a good conclusion but well have to wait to find out :[

  • 674 - WTF

    Oct 10, 2005 at 12:08 am

    This is absolutely remarkable... half the flippin words denounces the exitance of a God but... fall head over heals with another "god"....

    You all are lost. And all I have to say is BS.

    If you believe in this tripe, then you believe in God, and Satan and all that other mythological crap. Bull.

    Get it straight... either you DO believe in it all... or you Don't.

    There's no middle ground.

    So what is it? Draw the line in the sand. Believe in God... or not... gushing over this crap is believing...which obviously shows in regards you give to the king of the world. You're all flippin' lost.
