Death doesn't actually happen in slow-motion fit for the cinema screen. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 08/04/2010 07:24:31 AM
I personally thought the brutal quickness of important characters' deaths was one of the series' greatest strengths.

I'll give you that.... Jeordam - 07/04/2010 06:11:27 PM 1134 Views
It does seem logical that the series gets more teenager-oriented as Harry grows older. Legolas - 07/04/2010 06:47:57 PM 1123 Views
Yeah, I believe she's explicitly said she did that on purpose beetnemesis - 10/04/2010 08:24:47 PM 1044 Views

I agree with many of your points. Legolas - 07/04/2010 12:44:31 AM 1342 Views
I have to dispute the concept of going "too far." Ghavrel - 07/04/2010 06:32:47 AM 1105 Views
Hm, I don't know. Legolas - 07/04/2010 11:08:12 AM 1162 Views
This is a lot like the argument I'm having with Joel on the CMB concerning original sin. Ghavrel - 08/04/2010 07:21:39 AM 1079 Views
Where is this debate? I'd like to read it. Jeordam - 08/04/2010 05:18:38 PM 1747 Views
I should have put "debate" in quotes. It's about four sentences long. Ghavrel - 08/04/2010 10:32:43 PM 1060 Views

Sheriff Lobo wasn't a werewolf, either, and Bear wasn't a bear. Tom - 09/04/2010 12:47:48 AM 1095 Views
Exactly - it's not as obvious if you're a kid, then it seems clever and it's fun to decode. Legolas - 09/04/2010 01:04:11 AM 1206 Views
