    Are there really people who would read something with *spoilers* all over it when they haven't read it? Do these people have no will power?

    Anyway, the whole back was very poor. Silent spells indeed..bah... JKR used a lot of words to say very little and still managed to mess up the story with stuff like that!

    I went and read Order of the Phoenix over the weekend, trying to desperately understand why all this hype.

    It was very good - even though I'd read Half-Blood Prince and knew the plot points, it was still gripping stuff, relatively at least. And Hagrid the Horribly-Poorly-Written didn't appear until page 371

    Which makes Half-Blood Prince just, basically, useless. Waste of time and effort - no resolution, lots of inconsistencies and no progressions. Just a big setup to the final book. You could easily skip it I think.

    or give people this plot summary.

    Death Eaters are much more active and are even killing muggles. Harry goes back to school and his meetings with Dumbledore establish that voldermort has split his soul into 7 vessels and they must be destroyed. Stuff happens in school. Death Eaters invade Hogwarts and Dumbledore is seemingly killed by Snape.


    hmm did i miss any major plot points?

    As a pedant I feel obliged to tell you it was 6 vessels, as the seventh part of his soul still apparently resides in his body - thus ensuring that there will be a final showdown between the dark Lord & Mr Potter.

    I am well aware of that, but I thought "split into" would describe to even the dullest of wits that there was 7 bits of soul in TOTAL. Of those 7 vessels one was of course his body.

    Why cant you get pedantic about something more worthy like the silent spells pish

    No Unforgiveable Curses from you, Scathey! You haven't got the nerve or the ability!

    Oops, that makes me Snivellous, doesn't it? (Come to think of it, I do have a bit of a cold...)

    Seen on alt.fan.harry-potter (slightly edited by me!):

    Scene's we'd like to see in the next book

    After the wedding, and after Harry has just given Ginny another "Casablanca - Here's Looking at You, Kid" speech. Harry is getting ready to leave on his quest for the Horcruxes and Ron and Hermione come up:

    Hermione: OK, Harry, Let's go.

    Harry: Look, I know you both said you would come along, and I admit I am not looking forward to doing this alone, but this is goging to be the most dangerous adenture we've ever had! Are you SURE you want to come along?

    Ron: Look mate, did Sam abandon Frodo just because the task got more dangerous?

    Hermione: Ron! I didn't know you'd read that Muggle book!

    Ron: The Muggles wrote a book about it?
