Books & Authors - July 2007

I want to be a fiction writer. I have written a few short things I thought sounded pretty good and I know I can do it if I really tried. But everytime I put a pen to paper with what I think is a great idea, this little voice in my head tell me I suck, I'll never be a writer, I'll never be as good as all of those other writers who's writing sounds wonderful compared to anything I could ever write. I've read lots of writing books and I'm a voracious reader. I want to come out of this slump and be the writer I know I can be. Any help guys? Thanks.

Well... I dont really understand ! Can you help me. OK, you see, I hear people saying that Voldemort created or has (( 7 )) horcruxes. But the thing that I know is that there are only (( 6 )) and that Voldemort didnt succeed is making another one (which would be the 7th cause it would be way to dangerous or whatever). Anyway, so lets see... here are the horcruxes that I know about :
1. Tom Riddle's Dairy
2. The Guant's Ring
3. Nagini
4. Slytherin's Locket
5. Something From Gryffindore Or Ravenclaw
6. Hufflepuff's Cup
And Voldemort's soul itself obviously (the one inside him). So where is the 7th one ? And why are people saying that its Harry ? I thought Harry will live at the end of the book ? Please EXPLAIN !!! Thanks in advance

P.S By the way, I'm still reading the book, I'm still in Chapter: The Wandmaker. So anything beyond this point please dont mention it. I j just NEED to know this. So please, if it contains spoilers try JUST TRY to avoid them. Alright ? Thanks agian

I still haven't bought my best friend a birthday gift. We've agreed that we definitely don't need any more knick-knacks that will just take up space. She said she'd like a good devotional or something. I'd like to get her a very good Christian book, not necesarily a devotional, but along those lines. She reads extremely quickly, but if the writing style is old fashioned and flowery, she probably won't get much out of it.

She's single, and has struggled with that in the past. She's at the point now where she says she doesn't even want to have anything to do with guys, but I think her extremity is unhealthy. I'm not sure if I have anything else to add, but any reccomendations would be immensely appreciated.

I just started it, I finished the first chapter and was almost asleep. He talks about his job at the publishing house, and it was dull, boring, and had none of the goodness everyone keeps telling me about Sophie's Choice. Should I continue? Or not?

You people should be doing something productive, like playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, or Star Wars: Battlefront.

I found this interesting, but at the last fight scene at Hogwarts, Neville cuts off Nagini's head with the Sword of Gryfinndor. How was that possible? Griphook took it from Harry in the Gringotts vault and got away.

I could have sworn that Rowling said she was going to kill off TWO, read that again, TWO main characters. I ask, who counts as a main character? Fred and Mad Eye were secondary if not tertiary characters, same with Bellatrix and Dobby. Voldemort was the only main character that died. Correct?

What if the movies were done after all seven books were completed?

--Would the movies hold true to the book? Would characters that were left out/ or had no significant movie time in the current movie series have major roles (aka Dobby, Firenze and Centaurs, Tonks, Mundungus, Fenrir, Bill) as they were shown to be of importance in Book 7?

--If they did hold off on the movie series until Book 7 ended, what if Peter Jackson was at the healm of this septology? After doing LOTR, what if he recruited Ian McKellin to play Dumbledore? Would Ian McKellin have been a better Dumbledore than the previous two in the current series? Would Peter Jackson's movie contain all parts of the books?~would his movies be 4 hr long movies?

--Would Ralph Fiennes still be a good choice for Voldemort? Would Daniel Radcliffe and crew still be considered for roles in book 6-7 (being that actors in 'American Teenage movies' are played by some in their early to mid 20s)?

What if it was like that?...

ok so, near the end, when harry gives in to voldy and he goes to that place with dumboldore hes not really dead. so, how is it that the horcrux inside of him is destroyed if he isnt actually dead? and we know that the horcrux is destroyed because voldy dies later and the only way to do that is by destroying all the horcrux's.

What do you think would be suitable fate for the odious Dolores Umbridge, say, apart from being slowly buried alive in cat poo? I think Jo Rowling let her off easily.

I heard that we would find out what Dudley saw when the Dementors attacked him, but we didn't. Has JK Rowling said in any interviews or anything what he saw? I really want to know.
Also, what was the point of that child in the station, that was crying? I had no idea, and was waiting for Dumbledore to explain. Was it suposed to represent Voldermorts soul or something?
If you could help that would be great, thanks.
