What do you think of the best selling series, Harry Potter? Also, I have some questions. May contain spoilers!?

Question

I love LOVE Harry Potter. I read each book over 10 times and i read it backwards once form the 7th book to the 1st book. Anyways, its my favorite series and I want to know how people feel about it. I'm superly sad that the book ended but I'm looking forward to the movie. I don't minds its in two parts cause then it would be longer but I just don't want to wait. When it ends, I would seriously cry:[

SPOILER!
Why did Wormtail hand kill him?

What was the thing at king cross?


What do you think happen to Kreacher when they didn't come back?

How did you feel about Snape past?

Can someone explain what a Secret-keeper is? (I'm still confused)

So did the goblins knew some impostor might show up in Gringotts.?

Thank you!
;D

What other books can i read that is similar to harry potter?
And, I read the book series The time trilogy (The named, The dark and The Key). :D

Answer 1

I also love Harry Potter! I started getting into it late, so I've only read it about 3 times. It's so sad now that it's over, but I'm also looking forward to the last two movies! Then it will REALLY be over!! :-[



cosforums.com is a great website where you can discuss HP with other fans, if you're interested.



Wormtail's hand killed him because in POA, Harry stops Sirius and Lupin from murdering him, so Wormtail is in Harry's debt. I think it's Dumbledore who tells Harry, that Voldemort will really hate having a servant who owes his life to him. So when Wormtail tries to go against the one who saved his life, the hand takes over and kills him [I THINK, my friend said he voluntarily killed himself. but I think it was his hand. lol]



The thing at King's Cross was what was left of Voldemort's soul. It was destroyed beyond repair [Dumbledore tells Harry there's no way to help it], but Harry is still bothered by it. [this is debatable, as it never really says what it is].



I felt bad for Kreacher :-[ just when he was starting to warm up to them, they just abandon him and he has no idea why.



I personally don't care for Snape... even though he turned out to be a good guy. I just don't like him. I think his past is interesting and explains a lot.



A secret keeper is somebody that another wizard tells a secret to, and therefore protects it. As an example, Dumbledore was the secret keeper of Grimmauld Place. Nobody could find it unless Dumbledore personally told them where it was located. Get it? Anybody who he didn't tell, would just walk past and not see the house [which is why the Death Easter in DH couldn't get in.]



I don't think they knew for sure, but they're always prepared!

Answer 2

Why did Wormtail's hand kill him? That hand was created by Voldemort. When he showed an millisecond of mercy on Harry, even if it was because of a life debt, he betrayed his master, and we all know Voldemort isn't very forgiving.



What was the thing at King's Cross? It was the piece of Voldemort's soul, so twisted, broken, and cruel that it was beyond fixing and beyond help.



What do you think happened to Kreacher when they didn't come back? He most likely went back to Hogwarts.



How did you feel about Snape's past? I thought it was interesting. It explains a lot about him (and Lily and Petunia). It was really depressing, though. His home life isn't too great, and the person he loves more than anyone in the world dies because of him. Can you imagine living like that?



Can someone explain what a Secret-Keeper is? Okay, so a Fidelius Charm is cast. (Fidelus- Latin for faith) The Secret Keeper is someone the owner has faith in and trusts. After the charm is cast, no one can see that house, can tell that house is there unless the Secret Keeper tells them. Wormtail was the Secret Keeper for the Potters, and Voldemort could not find them until Wormtail told him where the Potters were. If a Secret Keeper dies, anyone who was told the location of the building becomes a Secret Keeper and can reveal its location. In Deathly Hallows, a Death Eater grabs onto Hermione as she apparates from the Ministry to 12 Grimmauld Place. He knows where they are and can see the building.



Did the goblins know some imposter might show up at Gringotts? It wasn't as specific as, "An imposter will be here on January 13," or anything like that. It was more of a, "There might be an imposter trying to get to the Lestrange's vault." When Bellatrix lost her wand, they were informed. The goblins were told to watch out for someone carrying Bellatrix's wand.

Answer 3

I'll answer a few Q's. :)



Why did Wormtail hand kill him? Because it was voldemort who gave it to him. Not really sure about this one.



What was the thing at king cross? It was voldemort - that creature was what was left of him.



How did you feel about Snape past? I cried - so sad.



Can someone explain what a Secret-keeper is? (I'm still confused) Keeps the secrets who the family



So did the goblins knew some impostor might show up in Gringotts.? Don't think so.

Answer 4

yes.. they r my fav tooo... i've read so many books and series os far but non come even close to what i feel for the HP books.. i wish they hadn't finished... it's like they r a part of my life.. lol



answers.

1. it killed him cuz when Lord Voldimort gave it to him he said to wormtail to be loyal to his master from then on..... when wormtail loosened his grip on harry.... he kinda betrayed Voldimort... and since the hand was a gift from him...... it punished him...



2. When Voldimort performed the Avada Kadavra curse it took both him and harry to like a limbo zone.. king corss station symbolized the choice of cross roads... from where Harry could choose to either go back or go on.. (doesn't say where) but maybe to where dumbledore went.. u know..

The little baby that was crying was the last part of voldimort that was left.. Harry was naked cuz he was purefied... the bit of soul tha twas in him of voldimort was seperated from him...



3. We see that in the end "The Battle Of Hogwarts" Kreacher led the elves to battle when the deatheaters and voldimort entered the school. I think Kreacher disapparated when that deatheater got into Grim Old Place ans went to Hogwarts to work... (not sure)



4. it was definately sad.. and i did feel sorry for him but i won't go on and say that i like him now or he's my fav character like everyone else seems to do..

I still don't like him... he was brave and all that.. but there was so much in the first 5 books he did that was completely unnecessary and so slytherin like... "Evil"

I wasn't suprised abt him loving Lily cuz someone had already spoiled it for me.. lol



5. It's a person... and without their permission or help noone can enter a particular building or house or even locate it.... it's magically sealed and until he/she allows another to enter or see the place.. it's invisible to the outside world..

"Grim Old place" Dumbledore "The Shell Cottage' Bill Weasley



6. Probably.... i mean... someone must have tipped them off or maybe it was cuz of the wand that Belllatrix/Hermione was using.. which was supposed to have beeen stolen from her from the Malfoy Manner or maybe just cuz of her being out and about.. since she was supposed to be staying indoors.. Voldimort punished her and the malfoy's for letting Harry escape u know..

Answer 5

The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare are similar to harry potter
