The Great Big Harry Potter Squee Bonanza

This is it, my friends. The end is near. In a fortnight, it will all be over.

Basically, my Harry Potter Hysteria is reaching unchartable levels of nostalgia and squee, so I thought I would do the decent thing and encourage my fellow fanatics to engage in a wise and nuanced exchange of ideas (and SQUEE) about this monumentous literary occasion (I told you I was getting excited. This isn't healthy).

Basically... I want theories, I want memories, I want fic and video recs, I want favourite moments, favourite characters, thoughts on the films and any other jazz that might apply.

Please, guys. If I don't have an outlet for my excitement my head will explode and I'll die. Do you want that on your collective conscience, flisties? DO YOU?

Yours in pathetc desperation (and SQUEE),
Sophie

I'm an incoherent ball of angst as of yet, my dear- as you well know. Was watching CoS special features earlier and I've taken to obsessing over Ron leaving us more than I have in the past. I was right about Percy being a gimp all those moons ago.

But what if Harry, Ron and Hermione see it all through? There is something lovely and not at all neat and cheesy about that xXx

I love your icon more than is reasonable.

ANGST! There will surely be angst a-plenty. JKR would not deny us the angst now.

Ahh, CoS. The main thing I remember about those extras is Rupert getting enthusastic about the vomit slugs: "They had all differnt flavours..." Fluffing love that man!

See! I've been in this hell for two years! It's horrible to contemplate! It makes me cry!

It would indeed be luffly if they all made it through, and in my brighter moments it seems a real possibility. It wouldn't be cheesy, it would be beautiful.... *anguished wail*

Very, very beautiful- The foreshadowing at the end of HBP is torture though. The way JKR lines the trio up and has Harry muse on the fact that for that day there was nothing better than spending it with Ron and Hermione... in the SUN, I think. Aack! What she does to us.

The thought of losing a Weasley full stop has me in knots. Watched PoA two days ago with the Gred and Forge and the lovely clips of them from OotP (which will hopefully coincide with Harry seeking advice from Sirius and Lupin about James). Maybe Percy is due a comeuppance- like Regulus Black (position dubious).

REMUS HAS TO LIVE! He has to live his life in full for all of them- James and Sirius- Lily. But we know how JKR loves a good death. Oh, how we know...

*kisses your icon* loves yours too xXx

I don't know if Percy's been enough of a dick to deserve death, though. I mean, if we have to lose a Weasley I'd rather it be him, but I don't think it would pack as much of an emotional punnch as, say, losing one of the twins, or Ginny, or HEAVEN FORBID Ron.

Have you been watching clips? I've been trying to avoid it (apart from watching Behind The Magic... but that was just research). DAY AFTER TOMORROW, MY SWEET! I should get into Mancland and 11.45, mmkay?

Oh Emm Gee Sirius and Lupin! back in the habit like Sister Act 2! Only to be torn apart! Argh!
