As you all should know, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is going to be released on Saturday. My best efforts are directed towards going at midnight so just know ; i probably won't be on that night. Who can resist that book? Anywhoo, on Monday I probably won't be on much either. I'm going to try and avoid any possible spoilers that will ruin my enjoyment on the internet. It's not just you guys, it's the internet. =X I already read a spoiler, to my dismay, on mugglenet, and today is my last day on there. A bit early, i know, but still. ^^
I'm also gonna quite possibly be coming on crying so buy some tissues. DDD: After all, Harry Potter might not be everything, but it's right up there with oxygeon.
So saturday night, most of monday, quite possibly tuesday = no gaby.

AWW! We'll miss you Gabby!! *cries* I unfortunately will not be able to go most of that day because of volleyball practice if I make the team...So good luck to you!
Darn those spoilers! Don't you just hate it? I read parts of the Deathly Hallows cheat book and am quite spoiled myself but I am still optimistic. -Compltely agree with the right up there with oxygen thing-

Yea, I do. grrrr. However, that spoiler person said someone i wanted to die did, so THANK GOD. But i wanted to find out myself. DDD: However, i guess not everything everyone says is true. I'm just gullible. But i'm going to borders in a little while to pre-order it and shtuff. The security they have with those boxes is incredible, but haha, oh well.
Good luck on getting it!

Oh gawsh. I'm so near finishing the OOTP and moving on to Half Blood Prince. I just can't help but wish I wasn't so piled up with honor's work when I had the chance to read OOTP and finish HBP. I hope Harry doesn't die. Though he might, considering he is a horcrux. (i'm determined to think so) I also am extremely happy about Fred and George pulling that little getaway in the last chapter I read. Total anialation towards Umbridge, I was screaming and giggling the whole way through. James Potter was a jerk. Good thing Lily straightened him out. ^^
Well. Have fun reading. AND DON'T YOU DARE COME ON HERE AND TELL US EVERYTHING OR I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KNOCK YOU OUT WITH SPORKS. Possibly kill you, depending on what mood i'm in.

I love Neville. He's so cool when he's mad. xD Bellatrix is oddly awesome, but at the same time needs to die by Neville. Hopefully. Maybe Ron will become an Auror in training after all. And as I read the book even more, I see that Cho and Harry aren't going to work. Hermione and Harry were getting close, but they always have been after all. And you can see Ron's jealousy, though he doesn't like to admit it. Ginny has been a help lately to poor Harry.
Oh yeah. What I think is that he may have to give something up, like you said. But he may have to kill himself, who knows. JK would be awfully dumb to do that, though. Kill off Harry. What was the point of all those battles and fights? Just for him to be dead anyways. Who knows. But i'm going to finish HBP and then read the Deathly Hallows! So excited.

wtf. i messed up my last post.
but.. yea. It'd be so depressing though, if he has to give up his magic. He found this other world, and after like 7 years he has to give it up. =/ I don't think JK would do that. And killing him would just taunt her forever ; seeing his name everywhere, his amusement park. It'd be like walking in his grave. Maybe they'd fit in a tombstone. xD So yeah, the post-potter depression would be VERY massive.
Here's a letter I found they posted on mugglenet;
I read recently on the internet that one meaning of Hallows refers to the relics of gods, kings, etc. But over time the relics themselves are not considered the Hallows but the gods, or person of importance is considered the Hallow, but in fact the relic or possession is what the true definition, but these relics are so associated with a person that the person is considered this.
This brings me to my point. People have made many theories that the Deathly Hallows are the Horcruxes themselves and I believe this to be true and this is why. Voldemort wants to become immortal - we all know this. But what is the main characteristic of a god? Well the top thing that pops into my head is that they are immortal. These relics, or Horcruxes, are the actual Hallows, but also directly refer to Voldemort himself, as a piece of his soul is in each one, which would give meaning to the theory of a 'god' actually being the 'Hallow.' It would give a literal sense to this definition of the word in its own unique way. Although most of the Horcruxes are probably inanimate objects, they are all in a way Voldemort and alive. Now you bring the word "deathly" into the fray. Just look what the ring did to Dumbledore's hand.
Throughout 'Half-Blood Prince,' it never seemed to get better, perhaps only Gregory House could make a diagnosis on what was eating his hand and turning it blac,k but I think that over time that it could have taken Dumbledore's life or anyone else's. Perhaps the only reason Dumbledore survived as long as he did is because he knew enough counter magic to stop the infestation of guarded magic on the ring to keep from killing him, yet he himself couldn't even cure his hand all the way. We all saw what Dumbledore had to do to get the fake locket Horcrux. He could have very easily died if Harry had not been there, we don't know what would have happened, we only know it was a deathly situation. If one thing is for sure the spell on the ring and the way to obtain the locket were of a deathly manner and these inanimate objects could easily be referred to as 'relics' Deathly Relics...Deathly Hallows...still following me...I knew you would be.
Most people believe that to destroy any remaningHorcruxes, Harry's life will be put in many dangers and either to obtain to destroy the soul itself in each Horcrux, I think explains Deathly Hallows. Perhaps this is all over-simplified and we should expect something bigger or to be surprised what Hallows really means... But if Book 6 and 7 are supposed to be more of a two part series like I've heard JKR say... and the word Horcrux officially came into play in the sixth book, it makes more than perfect sense to me that one of these two books actually be referring to Horcruxes as they are the main theme in the last book and presumably in the seventh book, it's hard for me to believe that the title isn't directly pointing towards Horcruxes
It explains alot what Harry has to do and stuff. And if you look up 'hor' [hahahahhaa] It's the study of interest in time, which is what Voldy wants to do. Like, be immortal. And 'crux' is a something that torments by its puzzling nature or a perplexing difficulty.
Kay, im done posting theorys. [runs off] 3 MORE DAYS.
