"Memes" » Book Seven Meme...

...already posted this on my blog, but thought I'd share it here as well, because I wanna know what you predict.

1. Are you going to look at every possible spoiler you can before the book comes out? Did you with HBP and how accurate were the ones you saw?

I tried not to read any, and didn't read any "real ones"...I mean, I did hear theories before (like about the death), but they were just some theories between many others, and I didn't feel spoiled really.
I will try to do that again, but don't know whether I get too curious...

2. What will you do if Amazon (or whoever;) don’t deliver your copy on time, and everyone is reading it except you?

If it's not delivered, I go to the next open bookstore, get a different copy, and when the late one arrives, I'll be through reading it. Three times.

3. Will you read the last chapter before anything else? Are you planning to read the book all in one go or are you a slow reader?

I usually read it in one go, yeah. Since I am a very quick reader, it'll probably not be that hard (took me a little under 4 hours with book 6), but I don't know about the peeking. I did it with book 5 I admit.

4. What’s your theory on the meaning of “Deathly Hallows?”

It means that these people who want HP banned come in with a band of archangels and kills Voldemort, because he practiced witchcraft...
No, really, I think it has something to do with Inferi.

5. What’s the craziest Harry Potter theory you’ve got, which you could only share with your trusted f-list?

My craziest theory was the one posted on my journal...that Beatles songs are the ultimate clue to the ending of HP, since the nurse in Hogwarts is called Poppy, and there is a nurse selling poppies in "Penny Lane"

6. If you could write in a sub-plot of your own choosing to the main Harry one, what would it be?

I would work in a subplot about the school being opened, and things getting more and more tight until they close the school halfway through.

7. Who do you think will die in the book, and who would you be most upset to see die, even if you don’t think it’s likely?

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I have no idea really. But I guess Voldemort will die in the end, and some people from the Order, like Moody or such. And, really, lots of minor or formerly unknown ones. It's war, after all.
I'd be most upset to see one of the main trio, or Ginny, or Tonks, or Lupin, die. I don't know whether that's likely though.

8. Name three main (ish) characters who you think will definitely live and why. Is there a very minor character(s) you really want to have a happy ending?

I think Ginny will live, because she had her close brush with death already.
Also, Dudley. I think he'll somewhat have a role at the beginning, and be annoying and bad, as always, but survive. Yeah.
Third, I'd pick Tonks. Reason: Wishful thinking

9. If you don’t like the book, or are bitterly disappointed by it, do you think you’ll still stay in the fandom?

Actually, I don't think I won't like it. But if I don't I'll probably stay in fandom to read/write alternate ending fanfics. It's what I did after not liking the ending to Matrix 3.

10. One word (or concise) answers only!

- Snape: good, evil, own agenda?

Own agenda.

- Bill: will he help Remus or just be on permanent honeymoon?

Help.

- Peter: a Gryffindor moment or not?

Yes.

- Harry: is he a Horcrux?

No way.

- The Weasley’s: will they all survive?

I fear there are too much of them. Probability is against them. But I so hope they will.

- If no to the above: who won’t?

No idea. Hopefully, no one.

- Did Snape love Lily: yay or nay!

No. Not really. Maybe a small crush but not the love of his life or something.

- Hogwarts: will they go back to school or not?

No. But-see my subplot idea- hear about it.

- Remus and Tonks: will they get married in the book?

I really hope so, and think if they survive, they will at the end.

- Bellatrix: who will be her nemesis?

I have this story in my head, where she is killed by someone from her own side...without intent, but I'd like that. If not, Neville.

- The new leader of the OotP is …?

Remus.

- Percy: will he see the error of his ways or not?

No, he'll just stay a git.

11. If Harry could take just one adult Order of the Phoenix member with him on the search for Horcruxes, who should it be and why?

I have no idea whether he'd take any and whom. Sorry.

12. Will Remus and Greyback have a confrontation in human or werewolf form? Will Tonks be involved? Who will the other werewolves support?

I think most of them will support Voldemort, but some won't, and I think that mentionned confrontation is possible, in human form in my opinion.

13. Who is the person from Harry’s class (and it isn’t him, Ron or Hermione), who will become a Hogwart’s teacher? What subject will they teach?

Hermione. And on the side of whatever her subject is, she'll teach equal rights for house elves.

14. Do you think Harry will observe Remus looking less lined and walking with a little more of a spring in his step? If so, do you think he'll attribute it to Tonks, and if he does, will he blush?

That's the least I, as an avid shipper, hope for

15. Will Ginny use, "But Professor Lupin saw the futility of being a noble prat!" for one of her million arguments with Harry about why they should be together? Do you think they’ll get back together at all?

I don't think she'll say it, but that Harry will notice on his own. And I definitely think they'll get together.

16. Which house do you think Tonks is in, and why? Is she going to morph into someone important and who will it be?

Gryffindor, probably.

17. Who will be revealed to be the heir of Gryffindor?

No one. No need for one.

18. As JKR has promised the final chapter will be like an epilogue; how do you think the final paragraph (hopefully) donated to Remus’ future, and/or Tonks’, and/or anyone else you want to write a paragraph on, will read?

Ooh, I need more time for that. I really hope for a happily-ever-after one for everyone, especially RLNT, but I need to keep the idea for a more creative moment.

19. Which question from the books would it annoy you most not to have answered?

Most questions? I usually have lots I do want answered, but cannot remember one right now.

20. What do you think the last line of the book is?

Oh...I'll answer that one when answering question 18. Or write the entire epilogue.
