"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.
