Ah. That shreds my theory that the Weasleys are descended from Arthur, then...

Oh please don't say King Arthur's going to get dragged into this series at the end. I've already read a series almost entirely based on legends surrounding King Arthur.
But yes Galadriel waters speculates about the people of the round tables' names included in certain characters and name parallels with various other writings/myths. Like Penelope for instance. Could she turn out like the on in the Odyssey?

Waters says Percy is going to kill Molly somehow. Oh, and I'm glad you defended Percy, Zach. He's my 2nd favorite character. ^-^ |

That settles things. Trish, you're definitely insane.
Percy will kill molly somehow? That I doubt. But I somewhat uphold waters' theory of the weasley's mrs. weasley saw in the boggart dying. Or <irony> The weasleys mrs. weasely DIDN'T see in the boggart dying. (ginny, charlie, herself...)

Galadriel Waters... What a ridiculous figure. She could at least write under her real name, rather than some ripped-off pseudo-fantasy rubbish.

Is it absolutely necessary to continue insulting people? I'm a fool, a new person was an imbecile, and someone in this section needed to hurt themself. And now GW is a ridiculous figure? I don't think she's ridiculous, she has a few valid theories although some of them are out there and just because an author chooses to write from a pseudonym doesn't make them ridiculous. |

I'll criticise those who need criticising (although as it happens, hatrandomletters isn't a newbie, I think he's been around since long before me). In my opinion, anyone who writes books about their theories about what might happen in the rest of another series of books is just some pathetic little glory-grabber, desperate for fame and wealth. She's even worse than whoever came up with the idea of Harry Potter toothpaste. |

I think Lupin will be killed by Wormtail with his silver hand because Lupin is a werewolf and silver kills them so...

If you don't like her just say you don't agree with her or don't think she should do what she does and be done with it. There's no need to call her ridiculous or otherwise insult her with unnecessary assumptions.And you even say "in my opinion" If it's just your opinion than that person doesn't absolutely NEED to be criticized as you say. There may be other opinions than your own. |

That's a little harsh, considering that she's doing for money what everyone else does for fun. |

Well if she was just an idiot out for money and glory then she probably wouldn't have made much. And I'm not praising her as if she's jkr herself I'm speaking out against unnecessary insults. And yes, slander. What would you classify needless insults(based largely on simply your own opinion and assumptions) as? I say slander.  |

Slander is a bit stronger than that. It would be slander if, say, Dante had said she murdered JK Rowling and stole her body.
Saying she's a pathetic figure with a silly name is just an insult; and not a particularly deadly one, either...
(Though incidentally, I rather like the name Galadriel Waters. It amuses me because of Galadriel's mirror...)

That's probably where it came from in the first place.

Sorry guys but I am really at a loss. Maybe we can stick to the subject, please?

I sorry.
So the most likely future deaths in my thinking will be Hagrid and Neville.
