We started to reread this, and I've been looking online at other threads, thought I'd post them!! 1. Harry Potter BBoard 2. Harry Lexicon The first is real interesting, I got to read it and wanted to discuss what they are discussing.. LOL The thread about Sirius Black and The Veil, well, my first thought was - is that the title of the next book?(thread title is "Beyond the Veil") Then I got to reading... The second is like an encyclopedia of facts, everything you need, or want to know (and didnt know to ask!!) all cataloged nicely thank you!! But, I'm sure I'm the only one around here, lots of dust and cobwebs...

Hi Reader234: No, you're not the only one here . At least not yet! The Lexicon is definitely fantastic. Many of its original contributors were/are members of the YahooGroup HPforGrownups. That list (as well as its sister lists) is always extremely active so you might like to check it out. (Apologies if this is the first board you posted about - I couldn't get that link to open.)

This has surely been discussed before, but if so I either missed it, forgot it, or did not make the connection. I watched part of Die Hard tonight and was startled to see that the main bad guy is the same person who plays Snape. Forget his name. It took me a moment to recognize him all dressed up without the shaggy hair. He was very good.

His name is Alan Rickman... I never got into the Die Hard movies that much (except I liked the last one. I think it was the last one. Anyway...) I love looking at the Harry Potter actors in their regular looks- they do such a great job with costumes/makeup/etc in those movies.

Alan Rickman is in many movies - he's in Sense & Sensibility (great role!); Dogma; Robin Hood Prince of Thieves; as well as many, many others - he's been in 35 films so far throughout his career - he's one of my favourite actors.

Ever since I saw Alan Rickman in 'Truly, Madly, Deeply', I've been crazy about him.

OOohhh, thanks for posting that! Looks good, I can't wait. I saw Love Actually yesterday and everytime Alan Rickman was in a scene I couldn't get him playing Professor Snape out of my mind.

I just love Snape. For all his sinister looks and glares, you know that he is the one to help Harry every time and I'm hoping , really helps him in the end. I can't wait for number 6!

I have been watching the Harry Potter movies on HBO this month. Seen both of them several times. I have seen Draco do something twice that never dawned on me the first times I saw the movies and I don't remember from the books. I don't think either of them have ever been explained. I would like to know if anyone else has caught this. In the scene in the bookstore, where Draco is standing on the stairs, he tears something out of a book and puts it into his pocket. What was it? In the scene where Harry and Ron pretending to be Draco's henchmen are questioning Draco about the heir of Slythirn, he picks up a wrapped package and asks if it belongs to Harry. When Harry shakes his head, he opens it, looks inside and then tucks it into his pocket. What was it? Did I miss something? Is Draco a compulsive thief? Are they setting the stage for something in the future? I know she does that in the books, but this is the first thing that I have seen unexplained in the books.Has anyone got an explanatio? This is driving me crazy.

I've noticed both scene's but never really gave either of them much thought. Draco's been brought up that can have anything he wants and that he doesn't have to follow anyone's rules but his own. In the Bookstore, he was looking in a book, saw a page (Probably for some spell) and took it, not wanting to pay for the book because he, being a Malfoy, doesn't have too. With the wrapped package, it was some Slytherin's Christmas present that he wanted and took. But then again, there could be something there...

Hi, Neko. I agree with Draco's motives and your explanation for them, but I have to believe there is more to it than that. Scenes in movies are very expensive to film. I don't think they would have used the time if something was not going to be revealed later. At least in my opinion. I will be watching in future movies to see if it happens again. Do you remember anything in the books about this. I have been meaning to go back and look, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

I think there's archived discussions on this somewhere, but nowhere in the books have we seen evidence of Draco's kleptomania. JK admitted that she gave the actors information not yet published when they made the first movie, so maybe she told them more before the second.

I hadn’t realized how much HP had faded from my thinking until I skimmed this chat transcript and was reminded of all the questions and mysteries we used to discuss! J.K. Rowling World Book Day chat

Shannon from St Mary Magdalen's Junior School - London: How do you feel when you see children reading your books? *Schools Competition Winner* JK Rowling replies -> I feel incredibly proud. Sometimes I want to poke them in the back and say 'guess who?' but I restrain myself. That'd freak me out. ^_^ Echo: Was Percy acting entirely of his own accord in Order of the Phoenix? JK Rowling replies -> I'm afraid so. Well drat. Now I have to hate Percy again.... Ernie: I wonder if you can let us know what form will Professor Snape's Boggart and Patronus take? I am very curious. JK Rowling replies -> Well, I'm not going to tell you Ernie, but that's because it would give so much away. I wonder whether Ernie is your real name? (It was my grandfather's). Hmmm, now just what could it give away?? Debbie: What will Ron's job be when he leaves school? JK Rowling replies -> Well, assuming he lives to leave school... I'm not going to tell you AHHHHHhhHHHhhhhHHhhhhHHHHHhhhHHHHHh!!! Those are just some of the questions that stood out for me.. Thanks for finding the chat Calamity... I think it's about time for me to start re-reading the Harry Potter series again ^_^

I read somewhere that a 10 minute trailer of Prisoner of Azkaban will be shown on ABC May 9 after they finish airing Philosopher's Stone. Yay!
