what would happen if you threw a horcrux through the death curtain in the department of mysteries?

It would die.
Because only magical things can kill it.
and the death curtain is magical.
Alternately, it would live forever, because you wouldn't be able to go in and kill it.

exactly!

heh.

If I was Voldemort, I would have stashed one in there. Seems a good hiding place, just in case the latter is true.
Alternatively, if I were Harry, I would have been thinking about trying to use that to destroy them.

I don't know.  Storing on in Harry was pretty smart, too.
storing one in Harry,  I meant to type

I figured.
bah.
short sighted
both the snake and harry were poor choices. they were eventually going to die anyway!
I was thinking while reading the book that once the diadem was destroyed everything was cool regardless of what happened next.

Could you keep one in suspended animation forever?

Mark Smith

it seems like if you could keep somebody alive forever, that the horcrux thing would be moot.

Kitt Hodsden

:\  good point.

Mark Smith

anyway, just a brain teaser.

a very good one.

A just reward

Blog

Morning time. What better time to go see another Harry Potter film than morning? I mean, just because you walk out of the theatre expecting cool and dark, and get hot and bright, doesn't mean you shouldn't go see Harry Potter at 11:30 in the morning on the company's dime.

Call it a reward for hard work.

I picked up Guy from his home (he deserved a huge bonus for all the hard work he's been doing around the house), picked up Doyle from the office, and off we went to the theatre, me in a huge panic because it's the day after opening day, and everyone knows that means full theatres.

Guy didn't think so. Doyle didn't think so. I had visions of young kids, out of school, swarming the theatre, making lots of noise.

I was so wrong.

When we arrived, there were four people in the theatre already. By the time the movie started, there were only about fifty. Certainly not enough to fill the theatre or cause the undue level of stress I felt.

The actual movie? Just like the book: lots of words and teenage angst.

I blame you

"Hmmmm, look at that. I accidently ordered our Harry Potter books twice."

"Yeah, Andy thinks ordering two copies of Harry Potter is a bit excessive."

"Why? One for each of us."

"Well, he thinks that's a bit much."

"So, who is going to let the other person read first? Not me."

"Yeah, I told him you wouldn't share. I sorta blamed you."

"Hey!"

"You weren't there. It's not like I was going to fall on the sword."

"Hmph. I think I'll cancel your book, too."
