More Harry Potter stuff

[salinea]

All right I do believe too little people in my flist reading the daily_snitch, so I made a selection of good essays, reviews and ramblings about Half Blood Prince done in the last 2 weeks for you to read if you want to :



OMG He killed Dumby !

The best and I believe first well laid out post explaining the Snape-is-not-evil-Dumbledore-was-planning-to-die theory

http://www.livejournal.com/users/lilith_morgana/242542.html
Excellent analysis of Snape in term of character proving why he didn't betray

http://www.livejournal.com/users/fabularasa/27100.html
Another one to finish the argument on the topic, from the point of view of Dumbledore rather than Snape

Spinnder's End
http://www.livejournal.com/users/junediamanti/139235.html
Just some extrapolation to figure out just where Spinner's End is and what it does teach us about Snape's background. Priceless from ficwriter's point of view

Snape seen as a father figure for both Draco and Harry with the excellent Draco/Regulus and Harry/Sirius parallelism

Draco Analysis

Both of those analysises by sistermagpie are wonderfully written and nuanced/

About Ginny
http://www.livejournal.com/users/_elektra/380217.html

In the middle of the Ginny bashing and Ginny appologist posts, there's one that actually neutrally analysed her in term of character, short but nicely laid.

On Percy
http://www.livejournal.com/users/icarusancalion/389626.html
Just because I really like Percy for some reason. It's that uptight anal bespeckled momma's boy vibe. I find it sexy.

On Regulus as RAB
http://www.livejournal.com/users/xylodemon/273893.html
And general Black mania, complete with constellation references

Theories
http://www.livejournal.com/users/risti/167637.html
Several well explained theories for the future books. Including a favourite of mine, Tonks is Evil (all right I don't think it's very likely to come true, but it'd be cool) and lots of stuff about Horcruxes, Regulus and the usual

Symbolism

http://www.livejournal.com/users/neotoma/45426.html?style=mine#cutid1
Strange but interesting in a zony way extrapolations for book 7 built upon the Inanna's trip to hell mythology

http://www.livejournal.com/users/ellen_fremedon/415894.html#cutid1
Voldemort's Horcruxes and Tarot elements

http://www.livejournal.com/users/ellen_fremedon/414870.html#cutid1
Chessboard analogy, expended with HBP

http://www.livejournal.com/users/sistermagpie/98360.html
The last 4 books correspondance with the 4 Hogwarts houses

Concordence :

http://www.livejournal.com/users/arclevel/12414.html
Timeline, ages and dates relative to the Weasleys and the Blacks. Another priceless one for ficwriters

Review

http://www.livejournal.com/users/mistful/71794.html
Just a general review that amused me ^^




Yesterday I bought Last Light of the Sun by GGKay and Sean Russell's third tome of the Swan's War yay. I also reserved a copy of A Feast For Crows *bounces up and down excitedly about it*

Ooh, that Ginny post makes me want to rush off and write Ginny darkfic. Which would be so much cooler than Mary Jane!Ginny in canon. (Harry = Spider-Man, at least when it comes to affairs of the heart. :P)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

whee, darkfic!Ginny ! WRITE IT !

Which remind me, I still need to look upon thos Bella/Ginny links you'd given to me

[littledust.livejournal.com]

I can't believe JKR passed up on the opportunity to expound on dark!Ginny! This isn't necessarily a criticism; she has other stories to tell, but still, it would've been so cool! Plus, you know, Ginny/Tom all the way. ;) And Ginny/Everyone at Hogwarts aside from Harry and Hermione and teachers.

I don't even have Harry Potter ships anymore. I have a couple I won't read, and then I have favorite characters. *G*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Well, there's one book left ^^ We do need a main character to betray to the dark side in book 7.

Ginny/Tom/Harry all the threesome way !

lol

Heh, I still have two OTPs, but seeing how i read Snape slashed with about anyone (actually today I've read my first het!Snape fic I liked; you need to read it it's got a wonderful Narcissa.... there it is : http://www.livejournal.com/community/erotic_elves/114142.html ) and from now on am interested in all sorts of new pairings, I feel a bit widespread as well.

[littledust.livejournal.com]

This is true! And that is the book in which JKR finally gets pissed at her militant fans, smokes a lot of crack, and writes that Ginny/Tom/Harry threesome. Pandemonium reigns, while us crazy fanfic writers sit smugly and reread the book.

Ooh, Snape/Narcissa! Thanks for the link. ^^ Yeah, I've got about thirty pairings on my "HP fics that would be interesting to write" list. It's sick, I tell you, sick.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

ROFL yeah, exactly !

I count them by triangles, so they seem to be less. ^^
