"Pretty good, huh?"

[luciazephyr]

Oh, wow, Keith. I don't know whether to be impressed or horrified.

Honestly, I never considered any of that. I haven't picked up a Harry Potter book since I read Book 6 in the first week. That was quite awesome and actually believable.

*slow hand clap*

If anyone missed Keith's theory, comment and I'll sum it up. It's really well thought-out in a "omg, Keith, you have three jobs and you still have this much time on your hands?" kind of way.

In other news, Dan Abrams needs to GTFO of Joey's show. I'm starting to get angry.

ETA: Oh, two people already want to know. Okay.

If you can get video of his theory, do that, 'cause he delivers it with so much charisma, it's hilarious. Otherwise, here's the big points:

• The HP book comes out right before the movie. JKR is making a lot of money off the movies and doesn't want to ruin that, so you can bet that she's not going to kill off Harry. Therefore, Voldemort must die in the last book, according to the prophesy. Simple stuff, we all knew that.



• One of the biggest conflicts in the books is whether Snape will end up being friend or foe. Keith thinks friend. More on this later.



• Book 6 spent an obscene amount of time detailing the process of making a Horcrux, that thing where while you kill someone, you can split your soul and stuff it in an object. On the day that Harry got his scar (which seems to be so connected to Voldemort that it can even project his moods), Voldemort was on a killing spree as well. So, Harry's scar? Horcrux.



• So let's say Harry destroys all the Horcruxes. If Keith is right (and god, he'll be gloating for weeks if he is), Harry then has to turn his wand on himself and kill himself to kill Voldemort. OH NOES, ALL OF JKR'S MONIES GONE AWAY!



• Instead of killing off her character- a wildly unpopular move outside the internet fanbase- Snape returns in his new Good Guy capacity to give Harry a Noble Alternative: If he wants to kill Voldemort but not himself, he'll have to do Something (*handwave*) to relinquish all his power as a wizard, ridding the Horcrux of it's power but also taking away Harry's magic. That ending has the dual purpose of giving the series a poignant conclusion (he sacrifices himself for the magic world! *sob*) and keeping the movies afloat.

So, in short: Harry's scar is a Horcrux and he'll sacrifice his magic abilities to save the world.

As I said, Keith has way too much time on his hands.

TONIGHT WAS AWWWESOOOOOME

One of the few theories I've heard that I could actually see playing out. And how much did I love his little hand raise and wave when he asked who'd read all six books.

[toperfection.livejournal.com]

I missed it, please to be with the summing it up?

[perpet-fic.livejournal.com]

Sum! Sum, I say!

[fofomazuzu.livejournal.com]

Just because that really bugs me, the book comes out 11 days AFTER the movie.

And the theory actually seem possible, and I've thought that Harry was a Horcrux since the end of book 6.

As much as I love Keith the ginormous dork? I didn't actually find his explanation particularly Earth-shattering. The only novel thing seemed to be Snape stepping forward with the final Horcrux-removing idea, but scar-as-Horcrux and Harry-sans-powers have certainly been bouncing around the internets for quite some time. Not that that'll stop him from gloating if any of it's true, of course! ;)

OMG should I watch the spoilers or not? Is it that big of deal, or is it funny haha? Does it actually spoil anything?

[hanachan01.livejournal.com]

I haven't read a Harry Potter book since four and am kinda scared of the fandom, but it's still interesting to hear Keith's theory on this. Maybe because it's Keith being a geek. Maybe it would've been more interesting if he predicted something related to one of my fandoms (other than, of course, pundit RPS). Think he watches Heroes or House MD? Maybe he's an otaku? He did do a thing on Morning Musume/Jpop (http://www.cultofpop.com/?p=96)....XD

hahaha, Keith! <3

Why must these things happen when I'm out of the country and can't catch the video for three weeks?

[eh-notsomuch.livejournal.com]

So now we know what Keith did on his vacation: catch up on his Sopranos episodes and reread his Harry Potter books.

Keith, you big huggable mega-dork, you!

Now i've actually seen the clip...

As I said, Keith has way too much time on his hands.

he obviously hasn't got that much time on his hands, as he got some major facts wrong, including saying that the snake in chamber of secrets was a horcrux which was two wrongs. The DIARY that they actually showed Harry destroying was the horcrux, and that wasn't even a snake, it was a basilisk.

There were other things he got wrong as well, but that one was the most obvious given they SHOWED the item he'd mixed it up with.

If he's going to theorise, he should do his research first. Keith is going down in my estimations...

[make-a-move.livejournal.com]

I love that he did this. Massive, massive dork. Awwwww. <3
