bellatrix was one of my favorite parts of the movie... she's so perfect!! i particularly liked when she was jumping around on the tables in the great hall lol

Helena Bonham Carter is unbelievable. Bella is my favorite Death Eater- I love to hate her. And Helena makes her so easy to hate...I also loved Harry and Felix, and I pretty much melted when Ron and Hermione were in the hospital wing <3
But was anyone else irked when Rupert wasn't with Emma and Daniel in the last shot? That made me sad, he's left out of things quite often.
By the way, I just read the Remus guess, that's very clever! I'm excited to see who gets it ^_^

I was the bane of Dark Wizards
I was the head of the pack
Now I pace forth slowly
With a great weight on my back
Do not let my appearance fool you
Do not assume I am deaf
And do not pity me because
I died a hero’s death.

with milky eyes I fly
across a lake of glass
freedom is my friend
but how long can it last?

wrong answers:
Aragog

correct answer:
Gringotts Dragon

[newhopeee]

Aragog?
with milky eyes I fly
across a lake of glass
He's blind, and he doesn't really fly- but he is fast, and he lives in the forbidden forest.
freedom is my friend
but how long can it last?
Aragog has been enjoying his time since Hagrid let him out of the cupboard, but now he is very old and doesn't know how much longer he'll be able to enjoy his freedom. Also, up until PoA, everyone thought he was the monster in the Chamber, so he lived in fear of being killed.
EDIT:for some reason, I thought it said lake of grass, not glass. So now my answer just sounds dumb XD

[firsthandtengen]

The dragon from Gringotts that H/R/Hr escape on in book 7?

with milky eyes I fly
The dragon was blind

across a lake of glass
They escape as they fly over a lake

freedom is my friend
but how long can it last?[b/]
It was trotts, being used as a guard, but H/R/Hr set it free. However, because of its blindness and the fact that its a DRAGON flying around Britain, I doubt it will remain uncaptured for long.

[dustf1ng3r]

yay! i thought it might be easy, but we needed another riddle smile

the reasoning is spot on, btw. moneyz on teh way!

Ye may find me atop the eldest hill
I assist those in great need
I shall take you in when I see fit
For only then shall I concede
The "magic" I conceal from most
But ye must be prepared
To brave the trials that I possess
Those of faint heart, beware!

is it the portkey to the quidditch world cup? its on a hill... and scary stuff happens when they're there... just a guess xD

[Z OMG]

Wit beyond measure...

Oooh, I disappear for a couple of days and the thread comes back to life :]

Hmm, mo0nflower, I have a theory that it's Dumbledore. The reasoning I can't quite fit but it's the best I can come up with :]

... because Death Eater's do it better.
