Great news today on TLC's main site! JK Rowling has written a prequel-card to the Harry Potter series. Read about it here.
What part of the pre-story of the Harry Potter series would you like to see discussed in this prequel? Doris --------------------  My Avon Breast Cancer Walk Page and Blog! I'm In It to End It! |

So i totally replied in the LeakyNews topic, but this one has a poll, so i'm moving:)
This is what i said the first time: QUOTE Ohhhhhhhhh this is sooo exciting! I hope we get to see what it is. I really want it to be about either Lily or Dumbledore:) Now looking at the choices, I think it's either about James and Lily's first get together or Dumbleore and Grindlewald. --------------------  "What'll happen to it, do you think?

I said more about the Potter family, but I meant James, Lily, and later Harry Potter. I would like to know about James and Lily courtship and marriage and how they became Those who Thrice defied Voldemort, and what being full time fighters in the Order meant.

Wow - I made the poll with LJ, but I can't decide what I want more. I want to hear about the Potters, Harry's grandparents and James growing up fascinate me. I'd also love to hear about the founders, the ghosts, peeves, the history or the school, I'd love to hear about the MoM and how it came to be...........
The list never ends. I do know that I'm excited to hear some of the history of the series! -------------------- My Avon Breast Cancer Walk Page and Blog! I'm In It to End It! |

I voted DD and GW, but more so about DD. He is, IMO, the most fascinating yet mysterious character we don't know all that much about (not in great detail, anyway). I would love to know how he learned so much about magic - the discoveries he made, the laws of magic he delved into, the skills he developed, etc. Plus, the details of the famous DD vs. GW duel would be awesome to read about!
However, I also like Maime's suggestion of hearing more about James' and Lily's history. I'll admit I expected more of their history to be revealed in DH, especially the whole "thrice defied the Dark Lord" aspect. However, if there's nothing riveting in their history, I'll stick with my first thought - DD's history is guaranteed to offer a whole world of fascinating adventures to read about! -------------------- "Tell me why, why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right? No more! No war! 'Cause how do you know?" -- P.O.D. - from their new album When Angels and Serpents Dance -- |

I voted other. I would think it would be cool if she wrote about the first war in depth. So its kind of like the original Order of the Phoenix, but its also about the first war in general.

I voted to see how the marauder's came to be. (I posted in the LeakyNews topic also, but it kept messing up so i have like 4 posts.. ugg.. ) But, I can't wait to see what she has written!! I love backstory!

haha, I can't decide what I want more, either! I did vote for "One of the Marauder's Adventures", but I'm still not sure if that's what I want to hear about more! I'd love to have Snape thrown into one of these, though!
I want to know so much! The Founders' history, and the making of Hogwarts; more about the Potter family - particularly Lily and James and how they thrice defied LV; Peeves's history would be awesome, too. Gah, I want to know everything! I'm so glad that we're going to be able to buy a copy (along with the other 12 cards)! I was scared it'd be like The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and we wouldn't be able to see it! Oh, they've also chosen awesome charities: English PEN, the writers' association, and the British charity Dyslexia Action. -------------------- |
