I really, really want Peter to use that silver hand to kill Fenrir Greyback. Fenrir isn't just creepy; he's a walking metaphor for child molestation.
Oh, I am so with you here. I am actually mildly disturbed by the way a good portion of fandom is jumping all over Fenrir like he's a sex symbol godsend from JKR. >_
Ugh. He's got matted hair and stinks of blood, sweat and dirt? Hardly beddable.
He does have good baddie-qualities, though - he's quite the nastiest thing she's written. Apart from Hermione in a bad mood :) I'm writing a Greyback-baddie fic now!
He's definitely the sort of character who's just meant for horrorific darkfic kinda stuff. Interesting would be a good word. Well, that and very psychologically demented.
I guess I'm just a little O.o about all the Fenrir love. But then, fandom has always tended toward the perverse and socially scorned sort of stuff... *shrug*
I know, but dirt! Sweat! Matted hair! Actually he reminds me of the werewolf in CS Lewis' 'Prince Caspian', which still has the power to scare me three decades after I first read it.
He's fascinating, certainly. Uncontrolled evil, whereas Lucius Malfoy, for example, is controlled evil (mostly). But he's a bogeyman all right.
1.Yep. DD is an Ex-Headmaster. Ceased to Be. I was surprised he wasn't impaled by spikes then trampled by Centaurs after he landed from the tower

17. I don't want him to die - but he should - you are right. My jaw dropped the floor when she introduced not one but TWO possible paedophilic characters.
Two?
19. I felt sorry for the vampire here, actually! I loved that bit.
I think that Sirius might return as a Grim. He's constantly associated with them--not only by means of his Animagus form but also through his nickname, "Padfoot," which is what the Black Dog of Yorkshire is called. Black dogs, or devil dogs, are supernatural guardians; they protect treasure, or they protect those who are in grave danger of death.
I can see Sirius showing up as a Grim at the final battle to guard Harry. It would be like him.
As for Dumbledore...well, here's the sentence in question:
White smoke spiralled into the air and made strange shapes: Harry thought, for one heart-stopping moment, that he saw a phoenix fly joyfully into the blue, but next second the fire had vanished.
I'm just chalking this up to Harry's imagination. You can see pretty much anything you want to in clouds or smoke.
Sorry, but the R/T shippers have been wearing on my nerves lately. They also don't seem to grasp that because Sirius is dead, this doesn't mean that Remus and Sirius weren't lovers.
Or that Remus couldn't love Sirius AND Tonks. Hello, there is such a thing as bisexuality. (Even though I don't know a damned thing about it

And yes, the poor vampire. Didn't seem to be having a very good time, did he?

Did you ever read my 'A Surfeit of Wands', by the way? Just sayin'. As they say. Although it's not quite like that.
