I don't have any interest in read a book thank you.

lol...i feel so close to Dan right now. i'm also a short dude (5'6 at the most) and know how it feels to have everyone else shoot and and become taller than you. He's a cutie though.
well, Deno, it's actually a great series to read. anyways, Draco's dad, Lucius did not die at the end...I believe he was taken to Azkaban. I can't remember. You can always go on wikipedia for more info.
I love short dudes! :biggrin1: For me, tall is generally a turnoff.
There was a pic of Felton in the recent Entertainment Weekly feature on the new HP flick (Fall Movie Preview issue, before HP was moved to next summer) where he appeared to have a nice bulge.
Tom and Dan have definitely matured into nice looking guys. IMO, Rupert has gone the other direction. :wink:

Yes, and it was a bad decision. Rowling didn't make up the philosopher's stone; nor did she make up the character of Nicholas Flamel, the creator of the philosopher's stone. Real life alchemists wrote about the philosopher's stone and spent their lives trying to create it.

There's no such thing as a "sorcerer's stone" in magical or alchemical history or literature. But you can find the term "philosopher's stone" in any decent dictionary. Alas, rather than taking the opportunity to teach kids something, Scholastic decides to arbitrarily change it to something with more of a ring of familiarity.

Actually yes, that's true, i agree with you there.
Well, yeah, that's probably inevitable, simply because there are more people in America than there are in the UK. That's how America always gets it way, just more of them. Also why it's harder to persuade them to do anything sensible.
I have a witch friend who says that a surprising amount of the magical terminology in the Harry Potter series is actually quite accurate.
Yes and no. There isn't much in Harry Potter that bears any resemblance whatsoever to contemporary witchcraft (or "Wicca"), and most of the spells and potions come from Rowling's own imagination. At the same time, Rowling is a well-educated woman and clearly did some research while writing her books. She seems well-versed in mythology, folklore, classical literature, alchemy, etc.
Some time ago I was reading something on the Harry Potter universe--probably on the Web somewhere--which detailed which elements of the story were Rowling's original ideas, and which were from other sources like mythology and classical literature. As I recall, there was plenty of both. But even when she borrows an idea, like the philosopher's stone, like werewolves and shapeshifters, they are fully integrated into the universe she has created.
Now, to get this thread back on track, here's a YouTube clip of Tom Felton reacting to the news that Dumbledore is gay.

That's because it's the Slytherin House tie from the Harry Potter movies.

I don't think so. I read a J.K. Rowling interview and she said the first American editions had many changes in the languages (without her consent), like mom instead of mum, and I think Philosophers and Scorer's might have been one of those. She got pissed and told them to keep her English as colloquial as possible (duh, the characters are English), but I suppose changing the title would have been too complicated.
Also, I don't care how photoshoped this picture might be, it's defiantly going in the 'masturbation fantasies' archive for me!
