Funny. Very witty. Your sarcasm/mockery deserves five stars. You deserve membership at FandomWank.nicko88 said:YES! YES! YES! i do! what do you look like, i'll look for you. i'll be the one with the big poster saying,"I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!" i'll even camp the night before if i have to.
...not.
i think so too. she has already said that one harry's classmates will stay at hogwarts and teach and that its NOT ron and that its NOT neccesarily who we think - ie. hermione. (that the first person who came into my mind.) so yes - i think it will be neville in herbology.minapotter said:I think Neville will live, and become a Herbology Professor at Hogwarts.
Don't worry - I'm worse than a Good Shipper - I'm one of those dreaded H/Gers who like OBHWF. Chocolate and Snitches forever!minapotter said:This reminds me of The Good Times where the shippers, or more precicely H/Hr shippers and the Good shippers on FAP used to fight, er no, "debate" over the fact that Ron was going to die. You're not a R/Hr shipper are you? I thought the interview with JKR only reflected the plot in GoF, so, she was saying that Ron wasn't going to die in GoF. The K2K theory makes sense to me...and for the issue of Ron's wand *coughcough*, I think because the Second War has started; there will be more deaths. And this will include sacrifices (not sure about the innocent). The comment made about Arthur being the Minister of Magic; well, whereas "Die Ron Die" was out of instinct, Arthur being MoM was a wish mixed with sarcasm. Or alternatively, just because Arthur isn't MoM in HBP, it doesn't mean he can't be MoM after it...
I do love how mentioning I'm H/G always immediately raises everyone's barricades. It's funny like that; any outside observer would (rightly) place the biggest divisions as the R/Hr - H/Hr split, but they would be unlikely to notice how a H/Ger admits to being such and a whole group of people suddenly pretend the person: a) doesn't exist; and b) has a mind full of Harry and Ginny having a dozen babies (and starting during school). I swear, it's all Imogen's fault. If she had never written Carpe Diem, the rest of the fandom wouldn't be so ready to believe that we're all emptyheaded twits.minapotter said:H/G? 0_0 *RUNS AWAY SCARED* Ohkhay. Will refrain from telling you how awful I think H/G is because er, it brings out the bad in everyone.
I agree that The Good Old Days are over. I absolutely loved Angua and Falcon. I still think I follow Angua's LJ and the whole "I'm the Captain! Follow me! Hear me roar!". Am sorry to say; but her R/Hr essays not only make me punch a hole in the wall; but they're annoying as well. I've read many essays on ships but her essays just make me want to scream because of her tone!
Although she may be classified as a BNF; I think she only recieves the recognition of a BNF due to her, well, er, wankiness and her posts at FAP. Well, Angua's Long and Obssessive quest in search for the true identity of Fandom Scruples, her comments on the fandom Black List. Wow. I love Angua. Wah. Call me insensitive but I do miss the BNF DeathMarches.
FAP ship threads are boring these days, ever since they made the VENOM threads and the Can't Stand (insert ship name here) threads. And, most of all, er, Pumpkin Pie and The Good Ship temporarily holding truce? Posting in eachother's threads? Deciding to put eachother's ship names in their thread names? What has the world come to?
I can understand why an OBHWFer would hate the K2K theory. If I was one; I'd rip the guts of the person who suggested it in the first place (a figure of speech please don't hurt me). Well there are quite alot of stupid theories in HP fandom. Such as the "Ron is Dumbledore" and "Ron and Hermione were secretly going out in GoF and OoTP"(sorry if you support this theory) theory. To make it fair I'll take a theory out of my ship: the Hippogriff is love theory. I mean, the entrance of corned-beef loving otters who live in Bristol thing was hilarious. *loffs JKR*
Speaking of who-is-tied-to-whom in canon; honestly these pureblood families have got it tight. They marry eachother in almost disturbing ways. Talk about being in-bred! *temporarily ignores restrictedsection.org and WeasleyCest Appreciation threads*
I agree with Amelia Bones as a possible MoM candidate. She's definitely got the enough insight, and resources to be MoM. If Bones doesn't become MoM; anyone in the OoTP in a high ranking position in the ministry have high chances as well. I never thought Arthur would become MoM ; at least while Harry was at Hogwarts. Perhaps long after the war, Arthur will recieve the recognition he deserves, but a guy in a corner office suddenly becoming a head figure seems unrealistic to me.
Carpe Diem (and it's sequels), The Chaser by Firebolt 909 (and it's sequel) and Ginny's Gift (and ITS sequels) by Ashwinder are ship bibles (without capitals) of pre-OotP. Naked Quidditch Match by Anya has cult status, as does Jeconais's reworking of the idea This Means War!. But the true Ship Bible for most H/Gers is still After the End. Just like the R/Hrs. And I bet that you're rolling your eyes and sighing at the sound of AtE.minapotter said:I think the spread of Carpe Diem didn't start with the opposing shippers. I think I first heard about it when I was lurking on the threads at FAP. In fact, very few opposing shippers have read it I think. I think they've just overheard conversations on it from other shippers like myself. Being a OBHWFer, I thought Carpe Diem would be equivalent to Hero with A Thousand Faces for us H/Hr shippers, i.e. Ship Bible. If Carpe Diem isn't your ship bible, then do you have a ship bible? *eyes*
I agree that we'll get along fine if we despise Angua, Falcon and their minions. Although ship wars are one of my guilty pleasures, I think we can lead a ship debate without having to throw chairs at eachother. Do they have ship wars at the CoS forums? I just have a general prejudice against Mugglenet and CoS forums because, well, the quality of the debates aren't as high as those of FAP; but if there are ship debates going on; I wouldn't mind contributing.
I think the number of "Are they on Crack?" theories are infinite. Although I did enjoy The Great Semicolon and The Great Hyphen debate. *wimpers*.
Delleve is definitely very lucky . Everyone wants to be her. And her comments at TLC are hilarious. Is Delleve a shipper? It didn't occur to me why she'd hang around SQ. Hmm. If she's on the Good Ship; you'd know because the shippers would be gloating.
Do you have plans for HBP yet? Er; besides reading it? I mean, are you planning to go to a particular bookstore? Because I'd love to meetup and squee with a fellow fan.
i like the idea that the HBP may be Hagrid, it sorta fits in a little with OoTP (at least in my mind anyway)minapotter said:I see what Mizz Smee was trying to say: you mean, like the prospect of Hadgrid being the HBP. He's not a half blood wizard, he's a half blood giant, ergo he could be the HBP. But what could apply to Neville? *thinks*
Wahh. I hope it isn't a new character either. No room for speculation then. Meep.
