On LeakyCauldron, Rowling says the mirror Sirius gave Harry WILL be important. And so will his mother's eyes...him having his mother's eyes. Input?

I doubt that though. number one Harry smashed his mirror. Number two, we don't know where the one owned by Sirius is. Number 3 sirius was dead so even if Harry miraculously fixed his, how are you supposed to communicate with a dead guy unless he's a ghost? It's not like if you keep calling a dead person's phone number they'll eventually answer. What about Harry using reparo? That would be easy enough... Or maybe thats what JK WANTS me to think. Hmmm...

I could not see how the mirror would be useful... unless somehow it transports Harry into the spirit world ala His Dark Materials. But that's a bit of a strench even for wizards....

I am kinda wondering how that'll be useful. Maybe if he gives one to Dumbledore's portrait and repairs the other one? Or usues it to keep in contact with Ron and Hermione? *shrug*

Yea I thought about that also. It does make sense....

Well he could use reparo and give it to another member of the order to keep in touch. That's the only importance I can think of about it. Yay title!

I have to say, I'm not crazy about the title. It just doesn't have a "ring" to it. In fact, it sounds quite awkward. Maybe I'll like it better once I see how it relates to the book.
"The last word will be 'scar' " got me to thinking. What if the final events of the book cause Harry's scar to disappear? That's sort of an appealing idea, although the scar is so much a part of his identity that we'd expect him to have it forever. I'm not sure I'd be as fond of a scar-free Harry.

For some reason, I always forget Half-Blood Prince. I think it's because it wasn't as obvious what it was about. Like the whole Chamber of Secrets was about the Chamber of Secrets and it was said a bunch in the book, but not Half-Blood Prince. So hopefully Deathly Hallows will be much clearer.
Actually, I only read Half Blood Prince once so I can't really remember what the Half Blood Prince was at all. Jeez, I need to keep up on my Harry Potter.

I actually thought that the book would end with a whole 'Memorial to Harry' thing, cause I think we all know he's going to die at the end. It's rather obvious. I thought that perhaps the last line of the book would be like: "To Harry Potter, The Boy With The Lightning Scar" or something, because of course he can't be called 'The Boy Who Lived' if he's dead. It's a stretch but ah well.

Re: the importance of Petunia Dursley in Book 7:
Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if Petunia was somehow in charge of a horcrux? with or without realizing that's what it was?

That'd just be weird. And no we don't all "know" harry is going to die. As it says in tvv "There's no way of knowing for sure." And many are of the opinion that he will not die. I'm undecided, but leaning towards him not dying.

The Mirror of Erised was used before and it gave Harry the Philosopher's Stone because... of something... I think it was because he wanted it badly, but not because he wanted it, but because he needed it? I haven't read the first book in a couple of years...
Maybe he will use the Mirror in this way again and get the last horcrux?
EDIT: The last word being scar could be something like this in a sentence:
"While she stood there, looking at the stone ______, it reminded her of the boy she had once knew, and of his lightning-shaped scar..."
Seeing as people are saying that the last chapter will be later in life, and that one of the people will grow up to be a teacher. She refers to Hermione, as she might be a History of Magic teacher (she knows so much) and the stone ____ being a stone tomb or something of which I cant remebmer the name of. This is just an idea, but I don't know if I've got everything right... Also in the sentence above, Harry is dead, and his grave is in the Hogwart's Grounds, Herminoe has gone to visit it, and the grave is next to Dumbledores.
Also, if the teacher thing is true, there are a few other possibilities:
Neville grows up to be a Herbology teacher. Draco grows up to be a Potions teacher. Cho/Ron grow up to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher (both having been in the DA) etc. etc.
Those are just my opinions.

I have lots of random theories, like the one that Ollivander might be working for Voldie. [glow=purple,2,300]I was reading stuff on veritaserum and it said that if you rearrange the letters in ollivander it spells out "an evil lord" which is quite unsettling[/glow]

Well you also get "the lord of murder" if you rearrange Aberforth Dumbledore.
I've never entirely trusted Ollivander.

[glow=purple,2,300]According to dictionary.com:
–verb (used with object) 1. to make holy; sanctify; consecrate. 2. to honor as holy; consider sacred; venerate: to hallow a battlefield.
As a noun it's like saying hello. Sooo I'm confused[/glow]
