HP Book 7
Skull Bearer: Come on people! We loved and fangirled this series for years, surely we can manage more than just apathy now the new title's being released.
Muses: *dispritedly* Why? It's not as thought it's meaning anything good, just more rubbish people will be hailing as the next Blood Meridian.
Skull Bearer: Well, there are some familiarities between the characters-
Muses: Accidental ones. we don't think JKR wanted to portray her protagonist as a homicidal maniac. Despite this he'll be hailed as the best thing since sliced bread, will have some revoltingly sweet and completely unconvincing romance with that Mary-Sue, and kill people without an ounce of remorse, thus wreaking the few good memories we have been able to rescue from the mess of HBP (Magneto/Xavier shippers: That was a train crash). Besides, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? The last time we heard a title like that was when the only thing you could think of calling your X-fic was 'Cursed to Remember'. And even you admitted that was crap.
Grammer Nazis: Hallow isn't even a noun!
Skull Bearer: *sighs*
Bunnies: We agree *have removed Anti-HP banners from the closet*
Skull Bearer: Shut up and give me ideas for Dragonlance.
Bunnies: If you start reading Dragonlance, we'll give you ideas, but since you've only been reading X-men, we're sticking to that.
Skull Bearer: So, about HP...
Bunnies: Not a chance.
Skull Bearer: But-
Bunnies: Unless it's to fuel the inevitable ranting that will ensue when you read that book.
Muses: We concur, the books have been going downhill since PoA, and if the trend continues *shows graph, HBP is off the bottom of the scale* the seventh book will be of a quality so vile as to be unreadable to man or beast.
Voldemort: *Still locked away* WHAT! Another book! Haven't they done enough damage to my character already? That's it, I'm never coming out.
Skull Bearer *double sigh*
Magneto: Cheer up, you have us to torture instead.
Skull Bearer *cheers up*

And that, Ladies and Gents, is why I am not excited about the release of the title for HP7

I can so see Raistlin and Dalamar huddled together in a dark corner...
D: "If we pretend we're not here, maybe she'll leave us alone?"
R: "I'm pessimistic."
SV: *waves open DL books in front of Skull Bearer and her assorted bunnies*
SB: "Maybe..."
R/D: "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

Well, OOTP was my favorite HP book so far. HBP wasn't great, I agree with that. I still have hope, even if it's futile.
Besides, I still love my Snapey-poo! And Draco-poo, and Lucius-poo . . . Fandom has made the characters so much better in my opinion, given them more depth. Especially the bad boys. ;^)
I will always hate the trio and most of the "good" guys. :^P
(And yet, next week after the holidays I'll be going to reserve Book 7 . . . )

*headesks* Frankly, I'd be rather happy if she did kill off Harry *is not holding out hope*.

And I had the idea of Voldemort being locked away in a closet... Damnit. My "make retarded jokes" bunny is on a roll today.

But I totally head-desked when I read the title the first time. It sounds so incredibly cheesy and campy. But then again, after HBP, it seems like that is all we're going to get from JK Rowling
Chosen One, whut?*wonders where she hid her Dragonlance books* I need to reread something good now.
