The age of consent in the United Kingdom (except for Northern Ireland)
is 16 (and, as of last year, that includes male homosexuals); so, it merely
depends upon when in the timeline you set your hypothetical hentai. Won't
Harry and Malfoy be 16 in the fifth book (which is *finally* complete, and

Not quite. It's simple, really: Whichever year they are, add ten. They
were 11 their 1st year, 12 their second, etc. They'll be 15 in the
upcoming _HP and the Order of the Phoenix_.
But, yes the aoc is 16 in Britain, so they'll be legal by the 6th book. ^_^

I'm of two minds on that. On the one hand, Rowling herself
has introduced sexual attraction and the beginnings of the
bubbling froth of adolescent hormonal overdrive into the
stories, so it's not exactly out of left field. On the
other hand, they ARE still kids - and are actually being
depicted as kids, ala the Azumanga Daioh girls, and not
little adults - and it's a bit much to see see/read them
having sex like practiced porn stars.

Actually, I was making a joke about that "sick, disguting" picture someone
linked to on afhp. You know, the one oif Hermione that shows absolutely
NOTHING and that, while mild titillating, could be shown in a church
without raising an eyebrow.

Yeah...
If I ever wrote HP hentai, I'd make the characters older (the aoc is 16 in
England, so the'd be at least that old), and as you say, treat them age
appropriately and portray them with the er... correct amount of
inexpertise/nervousness/etc.

I don't see what the big deal is. While I might take offense at the concept
of some artist doing that with someone elses characters (which I'm sure the

Oh come now.
The provocative costumes "Tomoyo" have Sakura sometimes wear,
like the one with the Watery Card ep.
Or the characterizations, how Tomoyo acts around Sakura, etc.
And how "Kero" goes over Sakura's poses in Kero-chan's checks.
Look at some of the manga sketches.
Who do you think decides all this? Tomoyo? Kero?
This is CLAMP, after all.
You do remember who makes them up and their portfolio, right?
Why would anyone be surprised?
I think one of the main reasons people like CLAMP
is how they depict their characters to be sexually appealing.
So why deny it now? It's not like age would deter CLAMP.
They're no saints... er, nuns.

That was an unexpected aspect of Myrtle.
(I'm suprised people don't want to talk to Myrtle. While
she's not the happiest of personalities, she is the same
mental age as the students and more approachable than
your average ghost, so you'd think the pupils would be
interested in finding out things like what it's like to
be a ghost, what happens after you die, etc.)

I would assume (hope!) that the person buying it is just buying it for

Indeed. I was actually pretty annoyed with Harry in that scene.. He hems
and haws about not visiting her when he said he would. Then, when he
leaves, she asks if he'll come back, and he says, "Er, I'll try..." Oh you
will not, you little fibber...
As much as I like Harry, he's not above lying and breaking rules when it
suits him, even if it hurts other people...

Well, my oldest sister thought the movie kept the facts of the plot,
but missed the emotional content. Didn't go see it myself, but the
novels were very cool. Think children's fanservice for the movie,
which it undoubtably suceeded at with special effects and such. Not
all fanservice is sexual, you know...
Why the heck did you see a movie to judge a novel? It doesn't usually
work that way, you know. Just skim the first few chapters at a
bookstore for a half-hour, or check the whole thing out from the
library. They are *great* children's novels, though if that isn't
your thing, that isn't your thing. But stop it with the movie
comparison, okay?

You think kids would be interested in confirming the facts of
mortality?! To say nothing of the idea that you might end up like
*her*...I can completely see why she's avoided. Hell, I know *living*
people like that who are avoided!
BTW, is it ever stated what causes some people to become ghosts and
not others? Loved the bit with the Professor who died preparing for a
class...and just left his body behind and continued teaching as
normal!^^

That *was* one of the things that I liked about him: that instead of
being this goody-two-shoes like I thought, he definitely has no
problem with the "grayer" side of being a kid. The one cut I hated in
the movie was the original version of Snape's first potions class,
where Harry gives back as good as he gets...whereas in the version
they used, he just sits there and takes it like a lump.>_<

Ghosts in the HP-verse seems to act pretty much like living people. Myrtle
is probably 14-16, which means she was old enough to have "hormones" when
she was alive. So I don't see the problem.

Well, that was kinda the problem.. She apparently had a pretty hard time
of it when she was alive, too.

No. Some people on afhp theorize that only wizards and witches can become
ghosts (as opposed to non-magical people, aka Muggles) but I don't think
we've seen enough evidence either way.

I LOVE the extended version of that scene! And not just for what you
said.. Rickman's acting when he comes up and answers the quesitons.. "Why
aren't all of you *writing this down*???" I really wish they would have
kept the whole scene.

Don't know them well enough. Here's kind of a simplified guide:
The brave go to Gryffindor
The determined go to Hufflepuff
The smart go to Ravenclaw
And the ruthless end up in Slytherin

Ok, I'm only gonna say this once: ANYONE who writes Harry/Draco needs to
go back and READ THE FUCKING BOOKS. These two HATE each other. And it's
not that "they really love each other" shit... they really, really hate
each other. I can't see those two getting together unless they're both
under an Imperius Curse. And since those don't work on Harry...

What about the people who are nondescript? Average? Lazy and
unambitious?
Anyway, how about:
Chiyo - Ravenclaw.
Sakaki - Ravenclaw? Gryffindor?
Yomi - Hufflepuff. (I think she works really hard and is fairly
smart but not brilliant.)
Kagura - Hufflepuff.
Kaorin - Hufflepuff.
Tomo - Slytherin. (OK maybe I'm being mean.)
Osaka - Gryffindor. She's totally fearless.
Alternatively they could all end up in Gryffindor except Kaorin
who is clearly not gonna end up with Sakaki.

Good question... Neville Longbottom's a Gryffindor, and he's kinda.. a
loser (his spells never work, he's kinda a screw-up, etc). OTOH, there
have been hints that there's more to him than meets the eye. His parents
were killed, and some fans think he might have been put under a Memory
Charm (ie, a spell that makes you forget certain things). There's another
character who had that happened and become a screw-up too (before the
baddie killed her, anyway).
I'm rambling, sorry. Point is, even though Neville's a screw up, the
Sorting Hat (don't ask) might have seen his potent anyway and sorted him
accordingly. And maybe in the case of the people you're talking about,
that could happen, too.

Good call.

I'd say Slytherin, which isn't so much about ruthlessness as it is
Ambition.

It would probably be more of a mindset than a biological urge...
It's kind of sadly innocent to think of Myrtle peeping at the
boy prefects as they're bathing. I mean, it's not as if she's
ever going to have the ability to do more than peep.

She was the butt of lots of female bullying.

Apparently there's got to be specific circumstances to
create a ghost. We haven't found out what those
circumstances are yet, though. A future book is supposed
to spell it out.

That depends. If they are lazy in a selfish kind of way
they go to Slytherin for their lack of a sense of duty.
If they are merely unambitious/lacking in self esteem,
they go to Hufflepuff.

I used the term "ruthless" because it's about doing whatever you can to get
ahead. You can be ambitious and still be in Gryffindor if you've got
morals (look at Hermione).

True!
Btw, "Voldemort" apparently means "runs/flees from death"... Seeing as

Indeed!
It's kind of a vicious cycle.. She's unpleasant, so no one wants to visit
her, and that make her MORE depressed and unpleasant to be around...
Of course, it doesn't help that Harry can be kind of quick to judge and
pretty slow to forgive and/or forget.

Sorry...
But I see this a lot, and not just with Harry and Draco. I see it with Van
and Dilandau, and Zim and Dib... And there's probably lots of others.

::runs past waving a Black x Lupin flag::
In general, though, I agree with you. Most HP slash couples are just -icky- to
me. O_o;; Especially stuff like Snape/Harry... ::shudder.::
I'm not really seeing Harry with anyone frankly in that sense. I mean,
slash-wise. He really obviously likes Cho, and even though that relationship
seems a little unlikely to me (particularly given the events of book 4),
there's nothing that leads me to see him as anything but straight. And even if
there -were- signs... who would he be paired with? He genuinely hates Draco,
and... well, Ron and Hermione are just really cute. ^_^;;
By the way, in case anyone didn't know this yet, JK Rowling _finally_ finished
book 5, and it should be coming out around March/April.

And your info comes from where, exactly?
All she's said is that there will be a death that was hard for her to
write. It could be a teacher. It could be a student. It could be a
villain she likes. It could be Lupin, Black, or heavens knows who else.
IOW, it could be just about anyone (the *only* one I'd count out is Harry
himself). She said it was hard for her to write... She could like a
character we might not even think about or like, and killing that person
off would be hard for her. Heck, some people have even theorized that
Harry might end up having to kill someone (having your major character--a
15-year-old--have to kill someone could be a "difficult death" to write).

Pure opinion. I figure the death will either someone who'll hit
Harry hard (Which leaves out The Dursleys) or someone Rowling has a
soft spot for - which pretty much pins a big, fat "Curse Me!" sign on
Neville's back.

Oooh.. How about Hagrid? That makes as much or more sense than any of the

And there's always that "Harry kills someone" idea.

Nah. I see big things for Neville. I'm not kidding. Though he could die
heroically, after realizing his potential.
> (So yeah, I think it'll be one of those four...)
Again, what about Hagrid? He seems to fit both your criteria.
I also think Dumbledore's in for it, but think that'll be book 6 or 7.

Hmm... I've always been locked in on one of the students in this

Plus, we could get a scene where Snape makes one nasty comment too
many, and Harry gets physically medival on his ass.

I can honestly see Neville developing into a real badass, once he

If Harry hasn't offed Snape after the sucker being a total Asshole in
Book 3, Harry's never gonna off him.
Same goes for Draco Malfoy BTW (I mean, Malfoy indirectly committed
MURDER and he hasn't been punished yet? Made his meager appearance
in Goblet of Fire almost disappointing...)

Which is pretty amazing, given that what you (and I) saw was a re-packaging
of a show called "Harry Potter and Me" that was made for British tv a year
ago. Unless she's been sitting on the book for a year?
What, precisely, was said on the show that made you think this, btw?

Gyah nothing, I've even heard of such horrifying combinations as
Snape/Hermione... there's a really bizarre little web RP that's pretty popular
right now called "Lumosnox" which features such choice pairings as, I kid you
not, Oliver Wood/Percy Weasley and Snape/Lupin. I think there's also something
supposedly going on with Flint/Wood too... (that sentence could lead to a
really bad pun).

That's what I meant, really. It's not that a relationship between them is

Well, the hard fact is that the book _is_ done, according to the author itself,
and just needs maybe a little more tweaking before going to the publishers.
I've -heard- that this means it should be coming out in the next six months or
so.

Alright, as it turns out, I and many other people seem to have been wrong. I'm
not sure about that yet, though, since I got my information from a pretty
reliable source, but looking up stuff, here's what I found:
According to the Toronto Star, Rowling says she's "got a lot of book done, and
wants to tweak it just a little bit more before giving it to the publishers."
According to CBBC Newsround, as of May this year, Scholastic was claiming the
book would be no later than June 2003, and apparently no later date has been
set, since every Harry Potter info site I can find has that listed as the
probable publishing date.

Now, what's so bad about this one? They're only about a year apart, and

It's done... but it needs tweaking. Those are two contradictory
statements, you realize?
It's amazing how many people take this quote as proof it's done. How can
it be "done" if it needs "tweaking"?!

Exactly.

Info that's half a year old. Besides, Scholastic really has no control
over when the book will be done. They can claim it will be done tomorrow,
but that doesn't mean squat.

Actually, the son of the president of Scholastic goes to my school. A good
friend of mine mentioned the eighth-year thing to him, and a month or so later
he got a signed copy of the fourth book with the following inscription:

Easily. I can see it's been awhile since you were a student... I.E. "Well, it's

True, but lack of any other info on the info sites probably means that at least
no other date has been announced...

Again, I admit this is true.

Speaking as a writer myself...
It's quite possible for a story to be finished, ready to publish, but the
writer still wants go back through it a couple times and pick it over for an
odd turn of phrase that doesn't quite sound right, or a minor detail that
the author overlooked or accidentally miscued somewhere along the way that
needs fixing.
If I were Jo Rowling, and the fifth Potter book being as highly anticipated
as it is, I'd be sure to go over it with my editor at least ten times to
weed out any imperfections before declaring it finalized.
Doesn't mean the book itself isn't finished. It just means she's making sure
there aren't any errant chips or cracks in the diamond. :)

I have this queer feeling Harry is going to wind up with Ginny.
Unless Rowling pulls a Luke on him, which I'd really hate to see happen.

Which means it's not finished, imo. To me "finished" means available for
reading. If you're still, picking over "an odd turn of phrase" or "minor
details" then you're not finished.

Of course.

Yeah, it actually does, imo.

Yes, but can you imagine her, the first time Yukari-sensei turned into a

Indeed. If someone at work tells me he's "done" with a sump, and I go to
put oil in it, he's going to have some 'splaining to do if oil comes out the
manways. "But when I said I was done, I meant that the nuts were
hand-tight." isn't going to cut it. Likewise, when you go to get your oil
changed, "done" doesn't mean "the filter's in, but we haven't added new oil
yet" (y'all do insist that the filter gets changed, don't ya?).
And before you ask.... yes, I did know someone who got her oil changed, and
the place didn't put new oil in. Reinforced, yet again, why I don't let
those clowns touch my truck.
