Mark Reads Harry Potter
Oct. 14th, 2010 02:57 pmI'm reading Mark Reads Harry Potter right now, and he's halfway through Deathly Hallows, the chapter after Ron storms out. Someone posted:
THIS BOOK IS A HORCRUX
IT SYNCHRONIZES WITH YOUR SOUL AND THEN STEALS YOUR HAPPINESS
MYSTERY SOLVED
And someone responded:
JK Rowling slaughtering innocents (fictional characters) in order to make herself (as an author) immortal?
Yup. The whole damn series fulfills the requirements of a Horcrux.
And a third person wrote:
Imagine an exchange between the author and her editor prior to the publication of the first book:
JK Rowling: It's not just this book, either. I have six more planned after this.
Editor: Let's see how the first one sells before we talk about any sequels.
JK Rowling: But seven is the most powerful magical number. Wouldn't seven books make the sales better?!?!
Editor: Well, yes, if they are well-received, then we'd make a killing!
JK Rowling: *evil smile* You have no idea.
Love it!
On another entry, someone posted this picture of Snape returning to Hogwarts as headmaster:

Check out those robes--clearly Snape has been hitting the gym the past summer!
