Will Harry return to Hogwarts? Is Draco a werewolf? What did happen at Godric's Hollow? What is the sixth Horcrux? Is Snape truly evil? Truly good? Or just out for himself? Who will live'...Who will... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I origionaly bought three copies of this book. One for me and two to give as Christmas presents. I ended up giving my copy away also. This book is so good that I want to share it with as many as possible. So I am back now to get my own copy. I plan on reading it again for my run up to the release of deathly hollows. Maybe it will help me not to be duped by JKR yet again.
Something to tide you over

J.K. Rowling created the world, but J.S. Batchler has helped me see it at a new level. Much like Dumbledore in the last book, Batchler goes into the realm of speculation and leaves me wishing I had seen the various connections and pieces of the puzzle. I am sure there are some purists who don't want to have anything surprised spoiled but I felt more excited about HP & the Deathly Hallows coming out after reading this book. Thanks for the Harry Poter fix to last me till the next one.
Best Book ON Harry Potter that I've Read...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have to admit that I am not as much of a Harry Potter fan as some folks...I have "only" read the books twice and am not familiar with every single website or new Harry theory. Nevertheless, I got this book and another similar one ("Who Killed Dumbledore?") and I thought this one was far better. I finished it in two days and the author's theme of "set ups" and "pay offs" really help the reader to appreciate and revel even more in the genius of J.K. Rowling. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get more into Harry Potter and better understand, from a literary angle, why the books are so good. ALSO, I disagree with folks who say it is a waste of time to "read" HP theories or possible plot spoilers. The author is always respectful of Rowling and from the beginning to the end of the book, she is careful not to speculate wildly but really helps the reader to pay attention to small details that may or may not have "pay offs" later. Her approach is much more logical and well thought out than the other theories I have read.
The Best in Harry Potter Book 7 Speculations!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
If you've spent any time speculating about what's to come in Book 7 of the Harry Potter series, you know there are some wild ideas, most of which don't merit a second glance. Janet Batchler's "set-ups and payoffs" schema, on the other hand, represents a calm, sane approach to speculation that does not stray from canon into fanciful and unrealistic theories. Not only is What Will Harry Do must-reading as far as Book 7 speculation goes, it's a long-lasting representation of the best in Harry Potter thinking. I've been writing about Harry Potter for a while now, and this is unquestionably the best work on Book 7 speculation available. This book should be on the shelves of every Harry Potter fan.
I would PAY!

Part of the all the fun of the Harry Potter series that both my daughter and I have enjoyed over the past several years, is in trying to guess what the next story will reveal and what adventures Harry and his friends will encounter. We've spent long, tedious hours searching the web, trying to disseminate various hypotheses (and computer viruses), all the while loving every minute imagining the world that Harry Potter has allowed us to explore. That's the point of it all I think...becoming storytellers ourselves, in how each of us views and experiences Harry Potter. Kudos to Janet Scott Batchler for taking it a step further and creating an exciting resource for all Harry Potter fans, and for what every true Harry Potter fan loves to do - becoming part of Harry's world and helping solve all of the mystery and wonderment right alongside him. Thanks!
