Book 7

[princessmai101]

i was wondering when book 7 was coming out in the U.S.

[beMMADfabulous]

I read somewhere that it was supposed to be coming out in July of 2007 like the 5th movie.

[emeraldeyes]

Hm.. I heard the 5th movie was July 2007 and Book 7 was Nov 2007. No idea for sure, but it can't be soon enough, in my opinion!

[beMMADfabulous]

November? *groans* You're right, it can't be soon enough. With all this waiting, the movie better be great (and they better include the "He will not be single-handed" part!) and the book should reveal that Albus and Minerva have been secretly married for many years. I'm getting OT now. hehe

[princessmai101]

Are you guy kidding me!!!! GRRRRRR! i want it now. now i'm going have to reread all the books for like the fifth time just i dont go into withdrawl.

[Rikki]

Yeah, but I think I also read something about November. *sigh* Way too long to wait but well.

[Apocalypticat]

November??? Where are you guys getting this from? It certainly isn't on Mugglenet. I was under the impression that the release date was still unknown but speculated to be 07/07/07.

*Feels ignorant*

[Rikki]

Hm... good question... where did I read that. Sorry, I just tend to forget where I found which bit of information. *g* But no, definitely wasn't Mugglenet. Hm... amazon, maybe? No idea. Or just somewhere on the net, google alerts or something.

[avadagypsy]

There is no official date for Book 7. When there is, it will be on JKR's website before anywhere else I should imagine (open that door dammit!!!!)

HOWEVER, Bloomsbury co-founder Liz Calder just recently said that she is HOPEFULL that Book 7 will be out in 2007 sometime. So fingers crossed.

It always made sense to me that it would be a 07/07/07 release date cos that would just be cool, but I don't see that happening now, what with OoTP movie being released around that time.
We'll just have to be patient I guess!

[princessmai101]

Patience is not one of my virtues. i want the book now! ok i'm done whining.... promise.

Patience is not really one of my virtures either. I've learned patience over the years, but not enough, IMO.

[princessmai101]

I tried to wait but five minutes after I finished the 6th book, I wanted the 7th book.

Haha, same here. Especially since the 6th book left us with so many unanswered questions.

[Rikki]

Goodness, yeah. That was rather mean, actually.

[princessmai101]

I was kinda mad at her for doing that. Not to mention i was already in tears because of albus. i wanted to find out if maybe it was all a big mistake or dream. Yeah i like that whole dream idea.

[Rikki]

Hm, don't think so but I'm sure JKR has a good reason for Albus' death.

[princessmai101]

yeah it was a long shot anyway. *sigh*

Yeah. Character and plot development probably. Which in my opinion is not a good enough reason to kill him off.

i agree, it's not a good enough reason.

[beMMADfabulous]

I don't think it's a good enough reason either. I'm still pulling for the idea that it was a set-up and Dumbledore's not actually dead.

[ravenhaired]

I'm holding out for some albus action in the next book via a nice long conversation with his portrait...

Like admitting he and Minerva were married. Yes, I like that idea.

[beMMADfabulous]

Yeah, I'm thinking that if he's really dead there will be somewhere that confirms that they were actually married or in love. I guess that's all the hope we have if he is really gone.

[Apocalypticat]

I'm hoping that the phoenix symbolism will come into play and he's not really dead... But the cynical part of me says he'll stay dead, but prays that Snape killed him on his orders - I don't want to think of DD being wrong about him, and putting his trust in the wrong person... It was the WAY he died that upset me as much as the death itself. I could have handled him going down in some sort of huge battle scene against Voldy and death eaters, but not blasted off the top of his own school by a guy he thought was a friend... So I'm REALLY hoping Snape was actually being loyal...

[beMMADfabulous]

I just don't know about Snape anymore. Half of me wants to think he's still on Dumbledore's side, but the other half believes he's been lying all this time. Even Minerva said in the 6th book that Dumbledore has always seemed to have a reason for trusting Snape. I'm assuming that we'll find out in the 7th book what that reason is and if it's reliable.

Right now i have two of my friends over and we are watching harry potter. i got yelled for freezing the tv so many times to prove that ad/mm were a couple. they made me give them the remote.

Haha, I haven't done that to my friends yet, but I have with family. I get yelled at for it too. My favorite part to freeze is, of course, Min and Albus at the Yule Ball in the Goblet of Fire movie. I also watch MMAD scenes over and over to prove my point. ;D It's paid off though, because one of my sisters is a MMAD fan (she's 11 or I would tell her to join the board).

[princessmai101]

I'm not allowed to watch Harry Potter with my family any more. They yell and throw things when i fast forward to ad/mm parts.*shrugs* thats why i got a portable dvd player.

[beMMADfabulous]

Btw, was the part about Dumbledore and McGonagall dancing together even in the book? I haven't read the book in years, but I picked up my sister's book last night after thinking about it (she's currently reading it), and all it said about them dancing was that Dumbledore was dancing with Professor Sprout and McGonagall was dancing with Ludo Bagman. Hmm... It's funny, because Dumbledore and McGonagall were even shown as one of the "Yule Ball Couples" on the Harry Potter screensaver.

[nemi]

It doesn't have that part in the book. Go Warner Bros for putting it in. (It is Warner Bros, right?)

Maybe in the 7th book Albus will do what Xavier did in XMEN3?

[princessmai101]

and thank goodness they did. it made my day when i first saw that movie. i grabbed my boyfriend's hand and whispered " you owe me turtle cheesecake for a month"
