Dumbledore is gay?

I knew he was too witty and whimsical to be heterosexual. We straight men are a boring bunch, what with our ball games, ties, and fermented beverages.

Yay for being near Hollywood

I went to the HP5 premiere at the Grauman theater last Saturday and saw Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint..IN PERSON YAY! Although Dan was kind of a jerk because he snuck past most of the fans and by the time we knew he had arrived, he was already a grey speck next to the theater doors. He came at the last minute too which was also rude. Emma was really nice though. She walked all the way down the street, signing autographs. She walked within 4 feet of me. I was sitting on someone's shoulders which is how I got to see anything at all. So, here are pictures and I shall be going to see the movie tonight. YAY

(Dan is the short kid in the middle)

These are getting weirder and weirder

return of harry's patronus! voldemort looking freaky! more girly lockets with magic powers! and why oh why are harry and ron and hermione so petrified by piles of $$$?

if somebody spoils the book for me, or even tries, i think i just might hurt them. *cough doug who just had to cough cough speculate about dumbledore's death cough* ...the fact that people have already read it frightens me.

Book 7

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (as of today with no projected release)

only two characters slated to die? I should hope she means two good characters. I will be disappointed if Harry doesn't do in a good half dozen by himself.
