the HP Friday 5

What are the top 5 things you want to see happen in Book 7?

for schpahky, I cut:



5. Hermione NOT marrying Ron. Thank you.

4. Either Lucius Malfoy survives because he was in prison (thus making fanfiction better for me) or dies really spectacularly after breaking out of prison and being seriously involved in the war (thus bringing Jason Isaacs back for movie 7 because he is the AWESOMEST).

3. Someone - anyone! (other than Snape) - noting that Sirius was, you know, actually kind of an asshole.

2. Remus/Tonks -- we know it can make sense, now MAKE IT MAKE SENSE already. Damn it, JKR.

1. Snape -- a dignified death, even if he turns out not to have been an honorable man. But, of course, I believe in Severus Snape.


Utterly ridiculous things I want but certainly won't get?

- An acknowledgement that progress creates dying worlds.
- A fandom that understands a werewolf shagging a shapeshifting chick is not some weird heteronormative betrayal of their Sirius/Remus _thing_.
- confirmation of Snape/Lucius/Narcissa, but then that's my story, not JKR's.

A fandom that understands a werewolf shagging a shapeshifting chick is not some weird heteronormative betrayal of their Sirius/Remus _thing_.

Hear hear. For all of fandom's apparent acceptance of outside-the-heteronorm existences ("oh, we are all for Teh Slash!"), much of it still expects rather more rigidity than I think exists in human (or particularly, queer) interaction. ("They were together! That means they were GAY AND NOTHING ELSE EVER AGAIN OMG.")
