A friend of mine told me that if I ever watched the movies that I would be absolutely lost during films 3-6....and I did watch them and that ended up being B.S. as I was never lost for a second.

same, though I've read book 3, not 4, a tiny bit of 5 and 4/6 of 6

My speculation is Lord Voldemort would've taken over the wizard world and most likely used magical creatures, dementors and death eaters to enslave the Muggle world.

I know she kind of pussied out on that one, being scared of what the fans will think, It's a shame she didn't just do what she wanted to do

It also should be put into account that I'm quite a messed up individual that would of like a childrens book series to end with the enslavement of humanity.

The worst thing to me was she outed Dumbledore after the book series was over. There was really no point to that other than to generate more attention for the films and for herself.

She did do it, she just happened to undo it afterwards. Wonder how many fans read that part and flung the book down in disgust then calmed down and read on to find out what happened next.

I read that the guy who plays Dumbledoore was playing it up on set after the author outed Dumbledoore

I actually noticed something was off about Dumbledore but I thought they would reveal he was a pedophile, not a homosexual. He seemed a little too fond of Harry if you ask me.

That's what the Epilogue should of been about.

[Blu-Benny]

i hope it doesn't come across in his performance in the last movie!! and i only say that b/c it wasn't evident in the other movies so why add it in the last one.

i never got that impression of him while reading the books....maybe my

[Show spoiler]gay-dar

was off!!

[Batman1980]

Well he never hits on anyone really in the books, he did have an unusually close relationship with a male wizard when he was younger but that didn't really point to homosexuality.
