really this whole forum is dead... as is the lord of the rings forum... yeah we enjoyed a brief resurgence when the sixth movie came out but the only people really into it where the people who never read the books and were left with an edge of their seat cliffhanger by movie 6. everyone who is a fan and consquently is still posting in this forum has read all the books knows exactly what happens for the next 4-7 hours worth of movies and doesn't really have any loose ends to wonder about... mostly the forum is a battle of slash pairings and plot hole analysis. we whine and beg and wonder and hope but we all know JKR isn't going to restart the series or even do a spinoff series.
all that may seem pessismistic but think about it. after the next two movies we talk about what was left out and how some stuff change for better or worse, and then what? everyone will know exactly what happened, why and how it happened and although the epilogue was entirely unnessecery the ending, epilogue or not, gave closure. i don't think i'm a pessimist i think i'm a realist.
i love ravenclaw, i love the harry potter world and i may write a fanfic if the mood ever takes me but the forum is dying, the thread is dying and i don't mean to be offensive because i love you guys but i think we need to move on... i'll be in the A/M/C.
