It's okay! And you're right about Wikipedia. The copy of DH that's in thsi house is actually at my husband's school with him (he bought it and it's 'his' book since I refuse to own a book where Fred dies! I am crazy I know, though I do have the other six books on my desk with me.) so I can't double check. So I'll go with my own canon.
You may be right. That's why I write AU...it's my way of giving JKR the finger. Kind of like 'there are other ways, such as this'. Not like she'd listen (she's said that DH is her favourite of the books) but at least I feel better.
The movies are good...if you view them as separate from the books. I want to see that too! The twins won't be in HBP much anyway though. I also read somewhere that they cast a Katie, then ditched her so CHO can be the one with the cursed necklace! WTF? I also saw the new girl they cast for Pansy, and she really does have that canon 'pug' look. In my head canon, Pansy's actually striking and pretty, just not conventionally so. I honestly think so much of that is subjective though, because of course Harry would think she's pug-faced in canon!
True enough! I was talking if they actually brought in Americans to England to help fight. We shall see, because I like this idea.
You didn't ramble! My daughter has Autism, and I have to tailor my schedule to her needs...which has caused me to not be able to have a 'real career' etc. So I understand 100 percent!
You have described how I feel! I love Snarry and Drarry, but everything lately is 'fest fest fest' involving them. Or the fics where Pansy is a prostitute, and George being happy after Fred just died...gah, enough already! Makes me want to throw up. *sigh*
I should start a comm for planning Re-Fredding Day for anyone who wants to help me out...I know xstarkiller started a comm for things but she's barely been on due to a nasty bout of writer's block, and I'm all wanting to get this worked on.
