At the end of HBP, I was wondering how such a powerful and feared wizard like Dumbledore could've died so easily. I was also wondering if he had ever killed anyone, thus enabling him to create a horcrux (ex: Fawkes the phoenix.. this would explain more deeply the meaning of the name, "Order of the Phoenix"). I was thinking that possibly Snape killed Dumbledore in order to gain trust back from Voldemort, allowing him to truly be a spy from the order, fully knowing that Dumbledore is not really dead. Snape's skill in Occulemens (sp?) would also be an asset to his spying due to the fact that this would prevent Voldemort from reading his true thoughts and/or possessing him. Any thoughts??

Alright, I had to read a story in school.. probably in Jr. High.. and I remember vivid details.. but can't remember the name..

So, it's set in the future, not long after a nuclear bomb kills all life. It is talking about all the things going on in this house.. Automatic systems of various kinds.. like it automatically makes coffee, and then cleans up after itself, automatically feeds the non-existant dog, dusts.. etc. etc.. One of the last details is when the story takes you outside and there is a black image on the side of the house or garage of some children playing... they were outside playing when the nuke went off and it obliterated them .. but somehow the ash created the image on the wall exactly as it had happened.. It reminds me of Ray Bradbury, but I have yet to find a story by him that is the same.. Anyone have a clue?

It doesn't matter which english-speaking country it is (I'm Canadian) but I need to find one that welcomes new authors and is mainstream fiction that dabbles with fantasy and horror.

Also, which kind of publishing house is best suited for me when my story contains elements of thriller, horror fantasy and based in the 1800's?

Thank you so much for any help!!

What makes you buy a book?

Does the cover have any influence?

Have you ever discovered a great book.. just because of what you read on the cover..

When I was younger.. I discovered Primo Levi, and Platinov.. just because.. I liked the front cover..
What are your favourite 'finds'.. that you discovered in this way??

Finished it this morning. There is certainly a lot of information in there, especially towards the end. Do you think the movie will include it all and keep the story flowing smoothly? It's bound to be a long movie.

I also hope they keep in all the magical creatures that were in this book, especially the thestrals. They intrigued me. I was hoping that more would have happened to Umbridge in the way of the students being able to see her humbled before the centaurs hauled her away. Good riddance to bad rubbish as they say. I cannot believe how blatantly mean and nasty she was. Sure and I would love to bring those Slytherin kids down a knotch or two also.

Starting the Half Blood Prince now. Good?

Visit www. jkrowling.com and click on the eraser that you see on Jo's messy desk. It's a portkey to the Room of Requirement, and you've got to figure out how to open the door to pick up your test booklet. Hint: If you're new to solving Jo's puzzles, visit Internet fan sites; you'll find tips. But don't cheat on the exam -- you'll get your score in due time.


HOW DO I DO THAT?
