Not always, in the Wheel of Time books the mentor lives on in another dimension which she is rumored to return again one day
I’ve never read the Wheel of Time books, but I’ll take your word for it. Still, in these kind of stories the mentor has to be taken out of the picture one way or another – so the hero can stand alone. I just realized, though, that citing Star Wars was a bad example sine they violated this "rule" by having Obi-wan come back in spirit form and telling Luke what to do at the last minute.

The theory goes on in that to destroy him without killing him Harry finds away to destroy all magic.
God, I hope not! Still, it would be kind of funny – Voldermort reduced to pumping gas for a living.

I hope that even if she no longer writes HP books she will write more for all of us to enjoy.
I too hope (after a well deserved break) that J.K. bedazzles us with something completely new – although she has set herself a very high standard to live up too. I know that she doesn’t plan any prequels but I can always hope she changes her mind. I, for one, would love to see a book about Dumbledore’s early years. What was he like when he was a student at Hogwarts?

Oh, one thing I did forget to mention: Normally, Avada Kedavra is acompanied by a green light. However, when Snape curses Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower, the light is red.
Gives me a pause.
Are you sure about that? Maybe you’ve got a misprint? You just sent me flipping through the page of book six, thinking I might have missed an important clue, but my edition says green light. Hell, if you do have an edition with a mistake in it – it might become a collectors item.

Give her a decade or two... Lucas didn't NEED to go back and screw everything up. He chose to. More evidence that People are fucked up in the head.
Many artists will tell you that a work of art is never truly finished – you just stop working on it at some point. Many of these same artists say that once you stop working on a work of art, you must NEVER start working on it again because you will destroy the integrity of the work that people have come to know and love despite (of even because of) it’s flaws. Lucas violated that rule and the results are plain for all to see. Until we see evidence of such from J.K., let’s give her the benefit of the doubt.

the second the subject came up with horcruxes, I had thought that Harry was one. **bad images!!! I really did not need to see a Harry/twins sandwich in my head** I agree that Hermione would make a great dominatrix. thinking of starting a Room of Requirement thread, Party central, no discussion about the books allowed. just having fun, playing, charms,(I love the evercunnilingus charm!) and curses flying around. What do ya think?
I say go for it! Only it’s the evercunnilingus potion. Difficult and time consuming to brew – but well worth the effort. I’m still working on the neverendinghead potion.

another thought anyone given thought to harry ever doign the animagus bit? would he be a stag like his father, a snake because of his parseltongue gift or even a lion or gryffin? I read one fanfic that his was a panther. which was very kewl actually.
I think Harry, at one point, will become an animagus. A stag seems most likely but a lion gets my vote.

Fargle's list is good, but i'd start with 'Small Gods'......a stand alone book set in the Discworld.
Oh please don’t make me choose between the two of you!
Farglebargle said: quote:
Small Gods is a masterpiece, no doubt. But once Guards, Guards! is read, it's inevitable that Men at Arms will be picked up next.
Sounds like a challenge to me. Okay then, I’ve just been over to Amazon and ordered "Guards, Gaurds!" Please don’t be mad at me philosophy, we can still be friends.
