I was still hoping for ...and the Shameful Expulsion.

What this Christmas has been missing is a Harry Potter film. The lead actors will all be about 20 when they get round to filming this - she'll need to kill them all off in the first chapter.

They've been filming order of the Phoenix, right? They are behind. Perhaps there should be no movie for the last book forcing more people to actually read it.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Thursday, 21 December 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

They have, but due to increasing size of books are struggling to keep to the "one film a year" agenda they started with. It's due out in July next year.

I have a theory that traveling back and forth through illusionists' enchantments to get to school makes kids progress through adolescence at an accelerated rate

daniel radcliffe is looking pretty hot these days.

I thought the weasly twins were fine in the last film but they look scraggly now, from what I've seen.

This is just fantastic when you have a close friend with the surname "Fallows".... imagine the amusing puns that will arise (or not)!!

He's in a London production of Equus these days.

Also, Sirius Black!

He looks like he wandered off the set of The Princess Bride. I kept expecting someone to say "You killed my father; prepare to die."

"Hallows" used as a noun here irritates me. Although English is flexible enough that the word could be used to mean a location that has been hallowed.

...and the Shameful Expulsion

Assuming Harry doesn't go back to Hogwarts, as he declared at the end of Book Six, the alternate title ...and the Unceremonial Dropping-Out would fit.

Harry Potter and the working part-time in Pizza Hut

Why is it "deathly" and not deadly? Is there a difference?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 22 December 2006 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

Deathly has an air of death about it. Deadly is probably going to kill you, or at least have the potential to do so.

(www.dictionary.com probably explains it better)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Friday, 22 December 2006 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

(actually it doesn't, but that's the distinction I would make between using one or the other)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Friday, 22 December 2006 10:34 (nineteen years ago)

But Harry Potter is gonna die in this one! So wouldn't "deadly" be more appropriate then?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 22 December 2006 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

Harry Potter Kaput!

Is what I woulda called it.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 22 December 2006 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

deathly = ominous.

deadly = "he dies in this"

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 22 December 2006 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

"...it was all a dream"

the end.

a hallow is a saint, isn't it? as in 'all hallows' eve'

rub title, anyway.

ah yes, I'm aware of this. Although, to me, there's a difference btw acknowledging the attractiveness of a 17-yr-old on film and going to see said 17-yr-old, nude, in person.

― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

I've since seen commentary elsewhere to the effect that "hallow" used as a noun is an archaic term used to refer to saints and their relics. So this ties into the theme of the outstanding Horcruxes (which already were assumed to have been made from items once belonging to the Hogwarts founders). So the title might as well have been Harry Potter and the F***ing Dangerous Horcruxes.

Is there somewhere I can read Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince as .pdf docs on the internet?

― has been plagued with problems since its erection in 1978 (nklshs), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

I'm guessing no, but, I figure if I'm going to google it, I might as well ask ilx first and wager $1 against myself to see who in ilx v google gets me my answer first.

― has been plagued with problems since its erection in 1978 (nklshs), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

LOL google wins, found it. Now to hide the .pdfs in the bowels of my work computer under a less suspicious filename.

― has been plagued with problems since its erection in 1978 (nklshs), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

I really doubt it (unless there's like a limewire for books) also that would be one huge file! (try half-price)

well what do you know. xpost
