Please explain to me HOW Voldemort could have done this spell - either before Harry's parents were killed, or afterwards (given his disembodied state)...<BR/><BR/>The forum is for the British SF & Fantasy magazine SFX.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1133235145327045442005-11-29T03:32:00.000+00:002005-11-29T03:32:00.000+00:00Sorry, I'm just reading this now - what forum are ...Sorry, I'm just reading this now - what forum are you on? Sounds like an interesting one.<BR/><BR/>Harry won't die or be left mutilated, for so very many reasons (psychological implications for child audience - not part of the school story genre - won't sell in the future if readers know they're just getting to get to know and love a character who's going to die - etc). But Harry's <I>scar</I> can be a horcrux, along the lines of the figurine-thing in Robin McKinley's <B>Spindle's End</B>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1132685259977834632005-11-22T18:47:00.000+00:002005-11-22T18:47:00.000+00:00Ah well, I'm a former programmer (and a secret Vul...Ah well, I'm a former programmer (and a secret Vulcan) so logic comes naturally... :-DMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1132680718710076142005-11-22T17:31:00.000+00:002005-11-22T17:31:00.000+00:00Howdy Sass!Just wanted to say - I agree entirely a...Howdy Sass!<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to say - I agree entirely about Dumbledore being dead...and you're even winning me over about Harry not being a Horcrux (though I think employing logic in these situations is entirely unfair!)U-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00679561299635944562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1132666962886935832005-11-22T13:42:00.000+00:002005-11-22T13:42:00.000+00:00Have you not heard that one before Kelly ?

I do hope JKR isn't going to prove me wrong (but somehow I doubt she will - the fact that the last word of the final book is still "scar" gives me hope !)<BR/><BR/>Today's theory is that Harry will have to give up his magic in order to defeat Voldemort. But I pointed out that such an ending would be too much of a <I>Lord of the Rings</I> ending ! And whilst the HP books are full of LotR imagery, I don't think JKR will go that far (I really hope not !)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1132666344324551332005-11-22T13:32:00.000+00:002005-11-22T13:32:00.000+00:00Goodness, that's a horrible theory re: Harry.
