[21:04] <bookworm1102> i heard mix reviews [21:04] <Love4Fawkes>  [21:04] <bookworm1102> but i loved it [21:04] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the first one was leagues better [21:04] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> and the sequals were money-makers [21:04] <nympheart> actually the second was my favorite [21:04] <Love4Fawkes> what movie are you talking about? [21:04] *** NYBookworm has joined #lounge [21:04] <bookworm1102> see i dont have a fav i like them all [21:05] <nympheart> Pirates, love [21:05] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha, maybe it's just because i'm a design student and have film snobbery [21:05] <fawkes28> hey nyb [21:05] <bookworm1102> pirates [21:05] <NYBookworm> hi [21:05] *** lothlorien has joined #lounge [21:05] <fawkes28> hey lothlorien [21:05] <nympheart> hi NYB and lothlorien [21:05] <Love4Fawkes> oh, i've only seen the first one. I'm way behind on my movies!! [21:05] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i adored the first, and despised the second, and hated the third one so much that it hurt a little [21:05] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> lol [21:05] <Love4Fawkes> hi lothlorien [21:05] <lothlorien> Hi everyone! [21:05] <bookworm1102> hi [21:05] <NYBookworm> I found the first one boring so wasn't intersted much in the othes [21:05] <Love4Fawkes> wow chocolate [21:06] <Love4Fawkes> boring, really? [21:06] <nympheart> chocolate, my little bro says you're smart [21:06] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha, of course, just my opinion [21:06] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> why's that nymph? [21:06] <bookworm1102> tell us how yo really fell choclate smile [21:06] <nympheart> the first is his favorite [21:06] <bookworm1102> im listening to the soundtrack to at worlds end right now [21:07] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think it's a better film... the others can be entertaining to the right audience, but the filmmaking and especially scriptwriting isn't nearly as good in the second two [21:07] <lothlorien> I've always thought the first two were charming because the kids were so young and the magic was so new. I didn't like the third, but I liked the fourth one better than the third. [21:07] <bubblehead> cover art cover art cover art! [21:07] * bubblehead spazzes [21:07] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha lothlorien... we're talking pirates :-D not harry potter [21:07] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> sorry... you'd think in a HP chatroom we'd be talking HP, wouldn't you?? [21:07] <Love4Fawkes> i was actually just thinking i should rewallpaper the living room in DH cover art [21:07] <fawkes28> yes, we will be talking about the new cover art [21:08] <caltheous> Yay cover art! [21:08] <nympheart> I went into shock a half-hour ago when I first saw that [21:08] <lothlorien> OOps! Am I in the wrong chat room. I thought the Pirate's lounge was around the corner and down the stairs. [21:08] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hahaha [21:08] <bookworm1102> i think that might in a way give a way the ending [21:08] <bookworm1102> the cover art [21:08] <fawkes28> lol - there is always room for Jack Sparrow in here - at least the first 15 minutes [21:08] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i was disappointed by the cover art sad leave the dragon riding to eragon [21:08] <Love4Fawkes> i didn't get my normal e-mail from leaky warning me of news so i was on the lounge minding my own business when BAM there was big news!!! [21:09] <bubblehead> aww chocolate. harry can ride dragons too if he wants [21:09] <nympheart> I know what you mean, bookworm, part of me wishes I hadn't looked [21:09] <lothlorien> Yes, I do love Jack...Will isn't bad to look at either, but he'll always be Legolas to me. [21:09] <bookworm1102> too true [21:09] <nympheart> lol, lothlorien, I agree [21:09] *** becky920 has joined #lounge [21:09] <nympheart> hi becky [21:09] <becky920> hello!

[21:10] <lothlorien> Hi, Becky [21:10] <Aislinn> hi smile [21:10] <nympheart> hi aislinn [21:10] <becky920> I'm surprised we're not busier in here tonight [21:10] <bookworm1102> hi aislinn [21:10] <Aislinn> I'm in a storm, so I may not be able to stay on [21:10] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> me too becky [21:10] <lothlorien> Hello Aislinn!

[21:11] <Love4Fawkes> good, thanks ;) [21:11] <caltheous> Aislinn, I'm trying out the booth for the first time... [21:11] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'm watching The Little Mermaid [21:11] <becky920> awww [21:11] <bookworm1102> lol [21:11] <nympheart> school-less, and so pleasantly bored [21:11] <nympheart> lol, chocolate [21:11] <Love4Fawkes> i love the little mermaid [21:11] <bubblehead> i love the little mermaid [21:11] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> [21:11] <becky920> jinx [21:11] <nympheart> I liked that movie, but I've never been fond of Ariel [21:11] <bookworm1102> first pirates now the little mermaid [21:11] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> counterjinx [21:11] <Love4Fawkes> great minds [21:12] <lothlorien> Someone mentioned "new" cover art. I assume they mean for DH, but I don't know if they meant US or UK. [21:12] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast gasps at nymph [21:12] <nympheart> even when I was six I thought she was a brat [21:12] <Love4Fawkes> oh no lothlorien! You haven't seen it! [21:12] <caltheous> http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/static_i...eluxed_dh_1.jpg [21:12] <NYBookworm> US deluxe art out today [21:12] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> you must go see it lothlorien! [21:12] <Aislinn> ooh, I'm glad you stayed, caltheous [21:12] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> if you want - spoilery, though [21:12] <nympheart> there's definite spoiling in that one [21:13] <Love4Fawkes> well cover art isn't that much of a spoiler [21:13] <caltheous> I like Harry's expression in the art. Very determined and brave. [21:13] <bookworm1102> agreed Choclate [21:13] <lothlorien> Holy Chicago! What book is that for? [21:13] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i mean in general [21:13] <bubblehead> i agree caltheous [21:13] <becky920> DH, apparently [21:13] <fawkes28> i told her to stay and she listened laugh [21:13] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> some people don't wanna see all the covers [21:13] <caltheous> What's the deal with the delux version. Why is it delux? [21:13] <nympheart> $$$ [21:13] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it's sweet lol [21:13] <becky920> Extra artwork, mostly [21:13] <Love4Fawkes> i want that book. i don't care if i don't really have the $65. [21:13] <lothlorien> Is it the deluxe edition? I thought DH already had a cover. [21:13] <becky920> yes [21:13] <bookworm1102> yes [21:14] <caltheous> So is there more art inside it? [21:14] <Aislinn> I love the picture on it [21:14] <becky920> I think so, caltheous [21:14] <Love4Fawkes> i do too. I love dragons [21:14] <lothlorien> Okay, the dragon has to be Norbert. Am I right? [21:14] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> yup! the 6th one had deluxe, too... but remember, that it wasn't as spoilery as we thought... albeit, everyone thought that Dumbledore was the Half Blood Prince because he was on both US covers smile [21:14] <fawkes28> i knew dragons were going to be in it! - i just knew it [21:15] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i doubt it lothlorien [21:15] <fawkes28> dragon's blood is going to be important [21:15] <nympheart> that's my first guess, lothlorien [21:15] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> Opaleye [21:15] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> is the best bet [21:15] *** HPfan_f1j1 has joined #lounge [21:15] <Love4Fawkes> i don't think i ever saw the cover to the deluxe HBP [21:15] <becky920> Isn't that the only kind of dragon we haven't seen yet [21:15] <becky920> the Opaleye [21:15] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> we haven't heard it talked about in canon [21:15] <bookworm1102> goblet of fire [21:15] <lothlorien> I wonder why Ron and Hermoine's robes are all torn and tattered? [21:15] <becky920> I wonder why Harry's not wearing robes [21:15] *** HPfan_f1j1 has quit [Bye] [21:16] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i wonder why hermione is laying down [21:16] <lothlorien> Harry doesn't appear to be wearing any robes at all. [21:16] <nympheart> she doesn't like flying [21:16] <caltheous> I thought it might have to do with gringotts [21:16] <Love4Fawkes> really? [21:16] <bubblehead> harrys dressed like a muggle [21:16] <NYBookworm> yeah I wondered that too because you can distintly see he has jeans and something over them which someone suggesed was dragonhide coat [21:16] <nympheart> she didn't enjoy riding Buckbeak and she's not as good with a broom [21:16] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> he looks hideous... lol, looks like a furry coat [21:16] <lothlorien> Yeah, I thought of Gringott's too. Because of the UK kid's cover. [21:16] <bookworm1102> that means he probably didnt go back [21:17] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> they're heading north - azkaban? durmstrang? [21:17] <fawkes28> Hey all - we are going to just keep this open for a general chat on the new deluxe edition cover art [21:17] <lothlorien> Mayve he got the coat from Hagrid. [21:17] <bubblehead> yea his coat does look reeeeeeeally furry [21:17] *** HPfan_f1j1 has joined #lounge [21:17] <Aislinn> I think it's dragonhid, NYB [21:17] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> yay!!! [21:17] <Love4Fawkes> i think harry looks like he has on robes [21:17] <Aislinn> it loked like scales to me [21:17] <lothlorien> Hi, HPfan! [21:17] *** HPfan_f1j1 has quit [Bye] [21:18] *** lothlorien has quit [Bye] [21:18] <becky920> hard to tell, relaly [21:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> okay - can we talk dragon first??? some people say norbert, but I think the most likely bet is the Opaleye, which can be read about in Fantastic Beasts... the Opaleye has no pupil, and doesn't hurt humans, which makes sense for this dragon [21:18] *** lothlorien has joined #lounge [21:18] <fawkes28> Here is a link where you can magnify the cover art - http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/book.../art7deluxe.htm [21:18] <caltheous> It reminds me of snakeskin [21:18] <bookworm1102> to me it just looks like the end of the final battle [21:18] <becky920> I can't imagine any other kind being friendly enough to ride [21:18] <Aislinn> if you magnify it, it looks like the substance is overlapping in a scale-like fashion [21:18] <Love4Fawkes> that's a great point chocolate [21:18] <caltheous> Oooo good call chocolate [21:19] <fawkes28> It seems like it would be too obvious if it was Norbert [21:19] <Aislinn> yeah, I thought it was an Opaleye too, chocolate [21:19] <bookworm1102> Norbert probably saved them and are taking them to safty [21:19] <fawkes28> that is a nice observation chocolate [21:19] <Love4Fawkes> it makes sense that we would see norbert again [21:19] <becky920> thanks for the link, Fawkes [21:20] <Aislinn> I wonder if they went to Romania to get that dragon, or if they found it under gringott's? [21:20] *** janieb has joined #lounge [21:20] <lothlorien> I wonder if Harry covered himself in some protective clothing using a spell.\ [21:20] <Aislinn> hi janieb [21:20] <Aislinn> we're talking about the new cover art tonight [21:20] <fawkes28> i am hoping it was the one from gringotts [21:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I think the Opaleye is like a thestral... not really able to communicate, but able to take direction... they could use him instead of brooms to get to a place, if they say "take us where you think a treasure might be" or "take us to where you were captured to guard the horcrux" [21:20] <lothlorien> I still think the dragon is Norbert. [21:20] <becky920> I wonder if Parseltongue works for dragons [21:20] <Aislinn> they look like they are chasing something/somebody, to me [21:20] <bookworm1102> i wont be suprised if they found norbert in grigotts so he could still be close to hagrid [21:20] <janieb> Hello, Aislinn and all [21:20] <lothlorien> Or running from something. [21:20] <becky920> Norwegian Ridgebacks don't look like that, though [21:20] *** FireboltPhoenix has joined #lounge [21:21] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i wonder too, becky? but it seems like lots of animals can understand human speech... owls, kneazles, thestrals [21:21] <Aislinn> they look like they are looking intently at something [21:21] <caltheous> Look at the eyes though Lothlorien [21:21] <nympheart> I don't know becky, Harry didn't seem to make out anything he could understand in GoF, but maybe if the dragon tried to communicate... [21:21] <fawkes28> but you would think the one under gringotts would harm other people since that dragon is there to guard the vaults [21:21] <Love4Fawkes> i haven't had a chance to get on lexicon to look at dragons [21:21] <bubblehead> but what's an Opaleye doing in Britian? Aren't they native to NZ? [21:21] <Aislinn> yes, fawkes, you would think so [21:21] <Aislinn> they are, bubblehead [21:21] <lothlorien> I guess I have just never heard of opaleye dragons. It is a new term to me. [21:21] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> you can look at wikipedia, love4fawkes, it has more info, unfortunately (poor steve) [21:21] <Aislinn> but maybe someone transported an egg, just like Norbert's was [21:21] <fawkes28> Harry has a great way with magical creatures [21:22] <lothlorien> True [21:22] <nympheart> I'm more inclined to think it's from Romania, they would have all kinds of breeds [21:22] <Love4Fawkes> thanks chocolate. i'll look at it later. [21:22] <fawkes28> see, I knew magical creatures would play an important role [21:22] <bookworm1102> maybe there train to only hurt certian people b/c the goblins have to get around them and if it is norbert he probably rembers harry [21:22] <becky920> It's from Fantastic Beasts [21:22] <Aislinn> they are described in Fantastic Beasts, [21:22] <Aislinn> snap [21:22] <becky920> lol [21:22] <FireboltPhoenix> My first thought was Norbert [21:22] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i tihnk that he doens't EAT humans, but that doesn't mean that he couldn't guard a treasure against them [21:22] <becky920> Mine was too, but the eyes don't fit [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> you know, I'm wondering about Romania's proximity to Albania. [21:23] <nympheart> unfortunately, I lost my copy of FB years ago... [21:23] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> they are less aggressive, and this one looks old, too... maybe he's been guarding a treasure for a LONG time [21:23] <Love4Fawkes> mine too firebolt, but if it doesn't look like a ridgeback then it can't be norbert [21:23] <bubblehead> my first thought was norbert too [21:23] <NYBookworm> maybe it's norbert and it has a close relationship with charlie who reintroduces the trio to him? [21:23] <becky920> What about Bulgaria and Krum? [21:23] <Aislinn> are they near each other, Mr M - my knowledge of geography in that area is not that strong. [21:23] <Love4Fawkes> i thought it looked old too chocolate, but then i thought maybe that was normal for this type of dragon [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> Romania is north of the Balkans, I believe. [21:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> yeah, love... and i thought it had cataracts at first, until i read the description of the Opaleye [21:24] <lothlorien> Does anyone else think there must be some connection with the dragon to both Charlie Weasley who works with them in Romania, and Bill Weasley who works at Gringott's, where some of the vaults are said to be guarded by dragons? [21:24] <NYBookworm> those little white hairs had me wondering too- it does seem to make the dragon rather old looking (I wonder how they age) [21:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i do lothlorien!!! [21:24] <nympheart> It's wings look tattered, I wonder if it's been fighting? [21:24] <FireboltPhoenix> I definitely think so lothlorien [21:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think it's a perfect fit for the story [21:24] <bubblehead> i do lothlorien [21:24] <bookworm1102> that makes sense lothlorien [21:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i wonder too nymph [21:24] <Aislinn> absolutely [21:24] <Love4Fawkes> i think maybe we are going to find out more about the vaults the dragon gaurd [21:25] <Aislinn> yes, it ties back to the UK cover [21:25] <bookworm1102> or at least gringotts seacurity system [21:25] <lothlorien> Maybe it's just artist's license, but the dragon looks...well...happy to me. [21:25] <Love4Fawkes> that was kind of an obvious statement i guess [21:25] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> there is a story in Fantastic Beasts about a male Opaleye that was ousted from his homeland by a female in the 70's... maybe this is that dragon?? [21:25] <becky920> Maybe he's happy to be out in the open air [21:25] <Love4Fawkes> usually all official HP art is pretty accurate [21:25] <Aislinn> ooh, interesting thought chocolate [21:25] <becky920> He does look like he's got a beard, doesn't he? [21:25] <lothlorien> Very true, Becky, no room to fly in Gringott's. [21:26] <bubblehead> maybe he's happy because the battle ended everyone lived and they're riding off into the sunset. lol [21:26] <bookworm1102> lol [21:26] <caltheous> nice bubble [21:26] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i don't think this is after the end, bubblehead smile why would they spoil the book like that? [21:26] <nympheart> lol, if that's the case Ginny should be there [21:26] <becky920> Can't be -- they're still looking pretty grim [21:26] <Love4Fawkes> i don't think its the end either [21:26] <caltheous> I think it's in the middle too. [21:26] <bubblehead> that was my thought too nymph [21:26] <lothlorien> The kids don't look as happy, though. Harry looks determined. Hermoine looks scared, and Ron looks like he might start barfing up slugs again. [21:27] <Aislinn> that male went to Australia, chocolate- do you think he has since emigrated to Europe? [21:27] <bookworm1102> unless ginny :gasp: actually stayed behindsmile [21:27] <becky920> But I could buy that it's after the scene on the UK children's cover [21:27] *** Aislinn has quit [Bye] [21:27] *** Aislinn has joined #lounge [21:27] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I don't think the dragon will be a huge plot point... i think he'll be a way of getting to one location, and then perhaps helping with his Dragon Blood, but I can't see him being a part of the entire journey [21:27] *** SeverineSnape has quit [Ping timeout] [21:27] <Love4Fawkes> i'd look like i'm about to barf up slugs if i was riding a dragon too! [21:27] <lothlorien> lol [21:27] <bookworm1102> lol [21:27] <becky920> me too, L4F [21:27] <fawkes28> It is a very peaceful background - similar to the regular US cover - i take both of these as good signs that Harry will definitely live [21:27] <Aislinn> I agree that it will be one plot point [21:27] <FireboltPhoenix> Oh, I hope so, fawkes. [21:28] <Love4Fawkes> i love the background and wonder about the village [21:28] <bookworm1102> me too fawkes [21:28] <nympheart> it looks like they're flying inland [21:28] <fawkes28> He will - even though some people think he will die *cough*Mr. M*cough* [21:28] <becky920> Do we know if it's sunrise or sunset? [21:28] <Love4Fawkes> i'm not familiar enough with europe's geography [21:28] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the village looks like the village outside of the window at jkrowling.com [21:28] <FireboltPhoenix> I'm thinking it's sunset [21:28] <bookworm1102> sunset [21:28] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> sunset... so they're heading north [21:28] <becky920> I've been hearing some people say they must be going north, but how would they know unless we know whether it's day or night [21:28] <fawkes28> I think sunset - it is the ending of the reign of terror [21:28] <bookworm1102> b/c theat would mean the end [21:28] <lothlorien> The background looks exactly like what we saw in POA movie when Harry rode Beeky over the black lake. [21:28] <Aislinn> Godric's Hollow, perhaps? [21:28] <Love4Fawkes> oh, right chocolate! [21:29] <nympheart> or the beginning of his journey, fawkes [21:29] <bubblehead> im going to jkrowling.com right now chocolate to look at that [21:29] <FireboltPhoenix> Hey, maybe that's the foreshadowing that JKR was talking about. [21:29] <becky920> But do we *know* that? [21:29] <becky920> About sunset? [21:29] <FireboltPhoenix> The background over the lake [21:29] <Love4Fawkes> i could see it being sunrise. i doubt they would fly a dragon in broad daylight [21:29] <Love4Fawkes> maybe they are almost at their destination [21:29] <MrMcGonagall> Typically, Harry riding an animal on the cover has made reference to his "mode of escape." [21:29] <lothlorien> Very possible. I tried to find some hint of a railway which could indicate Hogsmeade, but I don't see one. There is a bridge though. [21:29] <fawkes28> there are houses there - at the bottom so maybe it is godric's hollow - aislinn [21:29] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> there was a description somewhere, becky... [21:29] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> don't remember where [21:30] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> saying something about the sun setting and Hermione Ron and Harry riding on a dragon [21:30] <Love4Fawkes> i don't think there is a river in hogsmeade [21:30] <FireboltPhoenix> Yeah, I remember that too, chocolate [21:30] <becky920> That's what I'm looking for if anyone knows [21:30] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> so we know it's those three, and not, like, charlie back there [21:30] <FireboltPhoenix> It was from someone at Scholastic. [21:31] <Aislinn> I think it's Ron, unless they are flying after someone who has taken Ron [21:31] <lothlorien> I don't have the picture up right now. Does Harry still have something around his neck? [21:31] <Aislinn> the hair is not what i would call red though [21:31] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> can we talk clothes?? there is consistancy between Harry's clothes on both US covers, but not between the US deluxe and the UK kids [21:31] <FireboltPhoenix> I found the descriptioin! It's on Leaky's main page. [21:31] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> not that i could see lothlorien [21:31] <Love4Fawkes> oh it is sunset [21:31] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> but it's rather small, and hard to tell [21:31] <FireboltPhoenix> *description [21:31] <fawkes28> some people have said it is Draco but i highly doubt it - it has to be the trio [21:31] <bubblehead> no it's not. i looked for that lothlorien [21:31] <MrMcGonagall> I agree fawkes. [21:32] <Love4Fawkes> scholastic says it is the trio [21:32] <becky920> There it is! Thanks, FireboltPhoenix [21:32] <bubblehead> it says ron in the description [21:32] <FireboltPhoenix> No problem, becky smile [21:32] <Aislinn> well, that settles it then [21:32] <fawkes28> i am glad they agree with me, Love4Fawkes [21:32] <fawkes28> laugh [21:32] <nympheart> lol [21:32] <Love4Fawkes> me too smile [21:32] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hermione and ron are wearing black, tattered robes on the dragon, while the UK kids have them wearing more colorful ones... any ideas why?? [21:32] <lothlorien> The opal eye in the dragon makes it look blind, but I assume it isn't. [21:33] <becky920> Maybe it's not the same day after all [21:33] <bubblehead> i was wondering the same thing chocolate [21:33] <FireboltPhoenix> I was wondering that too [21:33] <FireboltPhoenix> Maybe, like becky said, it's not the same day? [21:33] <fawkes28> i'll bet they just came from Gringotts [21:33] <Love4Fawkes> the book happens over a year. i'm sure they change there clothes (I do not mean that as sarcastic as it sounds) [21:33] <fawkes28>  [21:33] <bookworm1102> ok im sorry im a little lost [21:33] <becky920> Well, it shoots down the riding a dragon out of Gringotts theory [21:34] <Aislinn> what's the problem, bookworm? [21:34] <bookworm1102> what are we talking about the dragos still [21:34] <Love4Fawkes> i'm not really a big fan of that theory right now, but i need a night to process all the info so ask me again tomorrow [21:34] <bookworm1102> or we on something diffrent [21:34] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it's not official quesitons, bookworm [21:34] <Aislinn> we are talking about the cover of the deluxe edition [21:34] <fawkes28> we are just having a casual chat about the cover art [21:35] <Aislinn> whatever happens to occur to people [21:35] <Love4Fawkes> and we moved on to the clothes unofficially [21:35] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha, because i have a list of things i want to discuss [21:35] <becky920> I need to run, y'all. Enjoy the discussion! [21:35] *** becky920 has quit [Bye] [21:35] <bookworm1102> alright thanks i didnt know if i just missed the question [21:35] <FireboltPhoenix> Oh, and I was wondering too... why are Harry's clothes drastically different than Ron's and Hermione's? [21:35] *** NiGHTS has joined #lounge [21:35] <nympheart> what exactly is that Harry's wearing? Did he take a hint from the twins and buy a dragon hide jacket? [21:35] <Aislinn> he is the only one not wearing robes [21:35] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i saw it as furry when i first saw it [21:35] <Aislinn> but that was true on the UK cover as well [21:36] <Love4Fawkes> i think harry is still wearing a robe, he just has jeans on underneath [21:36] <fawkes28> because it's his Hero's Journey [21:36] <Aislinn> it's definitely not a robe [21:36] <MrMcGonagall> Probably because Harry has been out horcrux-hunting. [21:36] <Aislinn> it is a jacket [21:36] <nympheart> I don't think he's wearing a robe [21:36] <NiGHTS> the others are definately at Hogwarts from the look of those robes [21:36] <NYBookworm> that's what it looks like, but maybe it's something someone gave to him like goblin made armor or somethign [21:36] <lothlorien> You know. When I think about the cover art for all the books, I think that what is NOT there may be more significant than what is. You know what I mean? We haven't seen any cover setting that looks like it is at or in Hogwarts, do? [21:36] <nympheart> yes, they look like school robes [21:36] <bookworm1102> i think that if he was wearing muggle clothes then he didnt go back to hogwarts [21:36] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the back of the UK has a castle, lothlorien, but not necessarily hogwarts [21:36] <bookworm1102> or he skipped bills wedding [21:36] <NiGHTS> & Hiya everyone, by the way ! [21:36] <fawkes28> yes, nymph - people had been talking about dragon hide - which i do not think would make sense on the back of a dragon [21:36] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> and still no wands to be seen [21:37] <NiGHTS> It really doesn't look like anywhere in the UK [21:37] <Aislinn> I think Hogwarts is on the back of the UK book lothlorien [21:37] <nympheart> I was thinking maybe Harry was in a muggle community, but wearing a dragon jacket or armor wouldn't really work with that [21:37] <FireboltPhoenix> Yeah, the lack of wands is interesting. [21:37] <bookworm1102> very [21:37] <lothlorien> Oh, thanks, I forgot about the back. There wasn't much happening on that so I didn't focus on it too much. [21:37] <nympheart> they're busy holding on, maybe fleeing rather than fighting at the moment [21:37] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> they have no belongings whatsoever with them, either... no brooms, no hedwig, no extra supplies, no change of clothes [21:37] <bubblehead> I was just looking again and if you look at the angle of the dragon's body, they seem to be going down/about to land [21:38] <FireboltPhoenix> Oh yeah, they do! Good observation, bubblehead. [21:38] <Love4Fawkes> that's a good point bubblehead [21:38] <Aislinn> I think that is an angle, to show all of the kids on the dragon's back [21:38] <NiGHTS> I've been puzzling over the dragon breed and 'really' wonder whether it is maybe a 'crossbreed' ... 1/2 antipodean opaleye and 1/2 chinese [21:38] <Aislinn> his head is up and looking forward [21:38] <bookworm1102> that intersting Nights [21:39] <Love4Fawkes> that's an interesting option Nights [21:39] *** AnnaNoe has joined #lounge [21:39] <fawkes28> a crossbreed is interesting, nights [21:39] <Aislinn> hey anna [21:39] <nympheart> hello anna [21:39] <bookworm1102> hi anna [21:39] <AnnaNoe> hi [21:39] <FireboltPhoenix> hello Anna [21:39] <NiGHTS> would seem to indicate that it is from a reservation ... i.e. Rumania which would fit the landscape and vilage too [21:39] <bubblehead> hi anna [21:39] <NiGHTS> Hi anna [21:39] <nympheart> they aren't really worried about being seen, it's either getting light or getting dark and the aren't flying above clouds [21:39] <fawkes28> we are chatting about the new cover art [21:39] <FireboltPhoenix> So you think they're in Romania, Nights? Hmmm, hadn't thought of that [21:40] <AnnaNoe> sweet [21:40] <Aislinn> I've felt they were going to travel to romania in this book for quite a while [21:40] <Aislinn> we hear about charlie and his job multiple times [21:40] <nympheart> yes, Aislinn, Charlie has to be good for something [21:40] <bookworm1102> that would make sense i mean they probably meet charlie some where [21:40] <NiGHTS> The architecture and colours in the village are not UK at all [21:40] <Love4Fawkes> I was thinking the villiage might be all magical people like hogsmeade [21:40] <MrMcGonagall> Balkans. [21:40] <nympheart> that's possible in Romania, love [21:41] <fawkes28> maybe they are searching for one of the horcuxes and traveling by dragon [21:41] <bookworm1102> or the village could be close to where the reserve charlie lives at [21:41] <MrMcGonagall> Could be albania [21:41] <Love4Fawkes> its possible anywere out of the UK i think [21:41] <bubblehead> i was thinking romania too [21:41] <FireboltPhoenix> Yeah, it would make sense for the Horcrux hunt to take the trio out of Britian. [21:41] <bookworm1102> espcally to albania [21:41] <FireboltPhoenix> ooo, I also thought of Albania. [21:41] <NiGHTS> I like the idea, thrown about already, that Harry may be able to communicate with dragons via parseltongue ! [21:41] <lothlorien> Romania would explain their condition. It wouldn't be easy to find a dragon to ride. Does Harry have a bandage on his cheek? [21:41] <MrMcGonagall> Harry needs a GPS system that will point him toward horcruxes. [21:41] <Aislinn> yes, and albania has been connected strongly to LV [21:41] <NYBookworm> it looks like there maybe a church or something with a stteple type thing inthe village [21:41] <bookworm1102> i think that there i both albania and romania [21:41] <AnnaNoe> for some reason i thought of the 'never ending story' when i looked at it [21:41] <Aislinn> lol Mr m [21:42] <fawkes28> remember, Dumbledore fostered international magical cooperation - we knew it would come back [21:42] <Aislinn> yes, Anna! [21:42] <fawkes28> LOL [21:42] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> bye guys!!! have fun chattin! [21:42] <bubblehead> i think harry is cut on his cheek lothlorien [21:42] <janieb> lol MrMc [21:42] <NiGHTS> lol@GPS ... I'd love to have a dragon with sat nav attached ;) [21:42] <lothlorien> Yeah, good Anna. [21:42] <fawkes28> bye chocolate [21:42] <nympheart> bye chocolate [21:42] <bubblehead> bye chocolate [21:42] <bookworm1102> bye choclate [21:42] <NiGHTS> Bte choc [21:42] <caltheous> bye chocolate [21:42] <Love4Fawkes> it lookls like he does have a bandaid on his cheek [21:42] <FireboltPhoenix> bye chocolate [21:42] <NiGHTS> Bye* [21:42] <Love4Fawkes> bye chocolate [21:42] <Aislinn> it's light shining on his jaw I think [21:42] *** chocolateisnotforbreakfast has quit [Bye] [21:42] <NYBookworm> me too on neverending sotry the dragon has a similar look [21:43] <bookworm1102> do you think Harry might get another famous Scar? [21:43] <AnnaNoe> yeah.. [21:43] <bubblehead> i don't like not being able to see his scar [21:43] <AnnaNoe> and why are the eyes plain white..? [21:43] <lothlorien> I wondered because Hermoine can probably heal cuts with magic by now...easy for her I would think. [21:43] <fawkes28> i think his scars will be internal [21:43] <nympheart> you mean, Harry, Love? I thought he might have a cut on his cheek when I first saw it, but it could be the light [21:43] <Love4Fawkes> she might not have had time to do any healing [21:43] <lothlorien> very true, fawkes. [21:43] <Love4Fawkes> yes i did, sorry i wasn't clear [21:44] <NiGHTS> it's strange; it does have the eyes of an antipodean opeleye but has a very chinese look about it's body and horns [21:44] <Aislinn> the chinese one is red though [21:44] <nympheart> are opaleyes that color? [21:44] <Aislinn> they are supposed to be a pearly color [21:44] <Aislinn> which doesn't really fit this one either [21:44] <AnnaNoe> i bet harry's scar is there, the lighting is just off [21:44] <nympheart> maybe it is a crossbreed then [21:45] <Love4Fawkes> this dragon does look red in the wings [21:45] <FireboltPhoenix> Yeah, I see some red there too [21:45] <nympheart> I think that's just the light shining through [21:45] <bookworm1102> i agree with who ever said that its maybe a crossbread [21:45] <Aislinn> I agree nymph [21:45] <bubblehead> chinese fireballs are desrcibed as having "protuberant" eyes [21:45] <NiGHTS> thanks ! [21:45] <fawkes28> the body is more brownish - just the wings seem to be red [21:45] <bubblehead> but they really liek to eat humans... [21:46] <bookworm1102> it would make sense with how the dragons colored [21:46] <Love4Fawkes> the body is almost cooper [21:46] <lothlorien> Nothing is visible that seems to be chasing them. Also, if I was being chased, I would look behind me frequently to see if I was being followed. This makes me think they are trying to get to somewhere quickly and not away from something. [21:46] <NiGHTS> as a biologist, it was a bit sad, but before I even thought about plot details I was stuck on what kind of dragon it was lol [21:46] <Aislinn> since it is sunset, it makes sense that there would be red shining on the dragon [21:46] <fawkes28> Only 15 minutes left, everyone! This has been a great chat! I want to remind you all that this transcript can be found at the Corner Booth Forum http://www.leakylounge.com/Corner-Booth-f184.html. [21:46] <nympheart> well, no matter what it is, Hagrid was right that dragons can apparently be tamed [21:46] <AnnaNoe> if u think about it..how would that dragon let harry ride him? because in the 4th year all the dragons were fierce in the competition. [21:46] <Aislinn> I don't think they are being chased, lothlorien, I think that they are doing the chasing, or else they are just racing to get somewhere [21:46] <NiGHTS> but KJR said that they can definately NOT be tamed, which is puzzling ! [21:47] <Love4Fawkes> they were nesting mothers. they were protecting their eggs [21:47] <FireboltPhoenix> Yeah, good point, Anna. [21:47] <lothlorien> Right Aislinn [21:47] <fawkes28> i dont think they are chasing or being chased [21:47] <FireboltPhoenix> It makes me think that Charlie is definitely involved here [21:47] <MrMcGonagall> I think they've escaped from somewhere. [21:47] <NiGHTS> I really wonder if HArry can use parseltongue to talk to dragons ... [21:47] <nympheart> I think so, lothlorien, it would explain why the dragon, Ron, and Hermione are so worn [21:47] <fawkes28> it seems like they have a purpose - they are going somewhere - Harry's face is very determined - not nervous [21:47] <bookworm1102> that is what makes me think it norbert b/c would norbert reconize harry [21:47] <NiGHTS> winged serpents and all that [21:47] <Love4Fawkes> given the state of their robes i think they've escaped [21:47] <Aislinn> that is an interesting thought nights [21:47] <AnnaNoe> hah what if harry put the imperious curse on the dragon! milky eyes..heh [21:47] <lothlorien> Could the dragon be under a trance or spell to make it tame? Could that explain the eyes? [21:48] <nympheart> lol, that's an interesting idea, Anna [21:48] <bookworm1102> lol anna [21:48] <fawkes28> dragons are powerful - i dont think it could be put in a trance [21:48] <FireboltPhoenix> Well, you can hit dragons with spells in their eyes [21:48] <NiGHTS> Never tickle a sleeping dragon ; ) [21:48] <lothlorien> Harry is powerful, too. [21:48] <AnnaNoe> the harp tamed fluffy so u never know [21:48] <Love4Fawkes> Harry is looking straight ahead, but ron and hermione seem to be looking up a little [21:48] <MrMcGonagall> Maybe Fleur entranced it. That is her specialty. [21:48] <nympheart> their eyes are their weakest point [21:48] <bookworm1102> lol mr mcg [21:49] <Love4Fawkes> lol [21:49] <FireboltPhoenix> lol [21:49] <bubblehead> you know I don't think you should tickle dragons that are awake either... [21:49] <fawkes28> i don't think that Hermione wants to look down at all [21:49] <MrMcGonagall> That was what she did in the 1st task, anyway. [21:49] <janieb> lol bubblehead [21:49] <Aislinn> right, fawkes [21:49] <Aislinn> hermione doesn't like to fly [21:49] <NiGHTS> I want to see the line, in Deathly Hallows, where it explains that Bella was killed by a dragon landing on top of her ***sigh - imagines*** [21:49] <nympheart> if she did, it worked better this time [21:49] <Love4Fawkes> i don't think se either fawkes! she looks terrified. [21:49] <Love4Fawkes> lol nights [21:49] <FireboltPhoenix> Ron's kind of looking straight ahead as well. [21:49] <bookworm1102> where did you hear that nights? [21:50] <NYBookworm> nights ha! [21:50] <bubblehead> lol nights [21:50] <NiGHTS> ; ) [21:50] <bookworm1102> i sorry im out of it tonightsmile [21:50] <NiGHTS> lol [21:50] <Aislinn> that's ok bookworm smile [21:50] <NYBookworm> (a la wizard of ox) be gone before another dragon comes and lands on you too [21:51] <AnnaNoe> the more i look at the dragon the more it creeps me out [21:51] <NiGHTS> it's really annoying in the Uk ... we don't get a special edition with better cover art [21:51] <bookworm1102> why [21:51] <NiGHTS> just a cloth-bound/leather version : ( [21:51] <AnnaNoe> it looks happy and drugged and cursed mixture.. [21:51] <NiGHTS> lol@anna ! [21:51] <Love4Fawkes> and UK has an adult and children's version [21:51] <bookworm1102> lol anna [21:51] <bubblehead> haha anna [21:52] <NiGHTS> wow ... happy, drugged and cursed ... what a night that must have been !!!! [21:52] <AnnaNoe> ha i'm just saying..its..unusual..  heh[21:52] <NiGHTS> it is a strange look [21:52] <bookworm1102> wow im sure people would love to know that the dragon trainer drug thedragonsmile [21:53] <FireboltPhoenix> Wow, yeah, I didn't even notice until now [21:53] <bubblehead> well I've gotta get going. bye everyone! [21:53] <FireboltPhoenix> The dragon does look strange [21:53] <FireboltPhoenix> bye bubblehead [21:53] <bookworm1102> bye bubblehead [21:53] <NiGHTS> Bye Bubble [21:53] <fawkes28> So how does this cover match up to the other covers for DH? Do you like it better? [21:53] <nympheart> I find the fact that it seems to have thumbs interesting [21:53] *** bubblehead left #lounge [] [21:53] <AnnaNoe> i'm kind of TOed because ginny isn't there with them.. [21:53] <NiGHTS> I think it's every bit as good, if just for the impact ! [21:53] <nympheart> I think this spoils the most [21:53] <lothlorien> I love anything new with potential clues about DH!!! [21:54] <NYBookworm> I'm wondering why it doesn't have a title or anything [21:54] <Love4Fawkes> oh me too!! [21:54] <FireboltPhoenix> I like this cover... but I still think I like the regular DH US cover more [21:54] <NiGHTS> I think it strongly indicates that Harry does not go back to Hogwarts but that Ron and Hermione do ... [21:54] <FireboltPhoenix> I wonder why that is [21:54] <nympheart> The UK kids is my favorite of all of them [21:54] <Love4Fawkes> I do really like the regular US cover [21:54] <MrMcGonagall> could be, nights. [21:54] <NiGHTS> or that they at least pretend to to stave off Molly Weasley killing them lol [21:54] <Love4Fawkes> usually the UK cover is my favorite, but not this time [21:54] <fawkes28> this cover seems very simple - i like complicated covers - the children's UK is my favorite [21:54] <bookworm1102> to me the cover still looks like harry lives and its kinda aspoiler [21:55] <nympheart> it looks like that nights, but apparently they didn't stay [21:55] <lothlorien> I like the first US cover best, too. [21:55] <bookworm1102> unless they wanted to lure us into a false sense of seacurity [21:55] <NiGHTS> I like the US covers but Harry always looks a little too young to me [21:55] <FireboltPhoenix> Oh, don't ruin my dreams, bookworm tongue [21:55] <NiGHTS> but really like that DH cover [21:55] <Love4Fawkes> that's a good point nights, he isn't young any more [21:56] <fawkes28> i don't think any of the covers give us any information regarding whether or not harry will live or die [21:56] <lothlorien> She won't kill, Harry...She won't kill, Harry...Keep repeating it and it will be true...She won't kill Harry...She won't... [21:56] <NiGHTS> he's pretty much grown up by this point [21:56] <Aislinn> we don't know at what point inthe story this is showing [21:56] <bookworm1102> no I still thinks he lives [21:56] <NiGHTS> I keep doing that, Lothlorien !!! [21:56] <Aislinn> it could be quite early in the book and anything can happen after this scene [21:56] <fawkes28> Harry is the boy who lived, after all [21:56] <FireboltPhoenix> lol I do that as well, lothlorien. [21:56] <Love4Fawkes> he will live, i don't even question it [21:56] <lothlorien> lol Love4 [21:56] <Love4Fawkes> its everyone else i worry about! [21:56] <FireboltPhoenix> I'm an adamant "Harry will live" supporter [21:57] <NiGHTS> repeat it, as a mantra !!! [21:57] <nympheart> trade that "d" for an "s" fawkes, "the boy who lives" [21:57] <Aislinn> yes, Love4Fawkes [21:57] <fawkes28> yes, nymph! [21:57] <Aislinn> I'm more worried for the other characters [21:57] <FireboltPhoenix> I agree, nymph [21:57] <janieb> es, Love4Fawkes [21:57] <MrMcGonagall> I'm a rather adamant Harry will die supporter. [21:57] <lothlorien> Yes! Not the boy who lived only to be killed off later to prevent future copyright infringment issues... [21:57] <NiGHTS> Grrrrr ! [21:57] <fawkes28> we know eyebrow [21:58] <Love4Fawkes> oh Mr. M you will be so wrong [21:58] <bookworm1102> well who asked mr mcgsmile [21:58] <Aislinn> lol lothlorien [21:58] <NiGHTS> lol@outrage !!! [21:58] <janieb> lol fawkes [21:58] <FireboltPhoenix> lol [21:58] *** LilyFlower has joined #lounge [21:58] <fawkes28> it's ok - we don't need to be mad at him - we can all just go dance on his porch when he reads that Harry will live [21:58] <Aislinn> hi lily - we're actually just wrapping up [21:58] <lothlorien> Hi, Lily! [21:58] <NYBookworm> I think the only way he will die is if it's part of the hero's journey for him to have some sort of resurrection or going beyond death sort of thing' [21:58] <AnnaNoe> well..i stand bye the fact that the dragon in cover=Falkor the Luckdragon. lucky dragon equals a lucky harry.
