Endings to the HP book I'd rather see...

Harry Potter and the Sopranos
Harry and Ron are sitting in the Great Hall eating Bertie's Every Flavor Beans, Hermione is trying to park the flying car but is being battered by the Whomping Willow, and strange cloaked figures are drifting through the halls of Hogwarts. The Fat Lady (portrait) is singing Journey's Don't Stop Believing as Hermione finally gets around the willow and sets the car down. You see her passing one of the cloaked figures in the hall (she gives it a suspicious look) and just as she's about to open the door to the Great Hall, - [end of book]

Harry Potter and the Stargate

Bonus points if you can name each of the shows these came from, and I've even given you a really easy first one! Or, add you own famous finales with a twist!

Will today ever END? And it's only 10:30!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Oh, how I am turning against the movies more and more! Now I've gotten to the point where there is SO MUCH MORE going on in the book. The writing is definitely improving, as well. I swear, these books suck you in faster than just about anything.

So now I'm transitioning into the darker part of the story, but this book also start to show Harry's emo side. Half-way through this book he starts to annoy me. My god, does he ever think of anyone but himself? And, seriously, he won because everyone helped him. Even I'm thinking 'what's the big deal about Harry Potter?' in this one.

I still like the story, just not the main character. This book is where my dreams of him dying first started. The next book... it just gets worse (I'm about 100 pages in, and I want to bitch-slap the boy). Is it normal to hate the 'hero' of a book? Still much love to many of the other characters, though (uh, mostly Hedwig and Pigwidgeon, the only two who've never annoyed me...). Poor Cedric. *sniff*

As for the scans... if I finish book six early on Friday (or sooner) can I stop myself? I'd like to think so. I want to relish the last book, and that doesn't include squinting at my computer screen. No, it involves sitting in bed with fluffy pillow and a mocha cappuccino (hot chocolate + loads of caffeine for the win!).

I really want them to be fake - not because I don't like the story (because I don't know, I haven't read it, though the end is ick) - but because everyone is saying there's no way they are. And... yeah, I'm totally one of those people. I love to champion the improbable.

But, I've been thinking on Occam's Razor (partly because it's a central theme in the book I'm listening to on tape, a book called Straight Man - very odd, I'll tell you about it later). Which is the simplest explanation - that a great deal of security failed and a crappy person happened to be on the receiving end and took advantage of it, or that someone is playing an elaborate hoax? I don't know. In some ways, the second seems far easier. And certainly less risky. Also, dude (or dudette) needs to learn to take better pics - according to the file info that was a decent camera, no reason for them to suck so much.

Sorry, non-HP peeps. Only 4 more days and it'll be the last you hear of it. Seriously.
