That would be horrible ! 
And HP would become a legend .
Can’t remember if I’ve already mentioned it in this thread or not, but I always thought R.A.B would turn out to be Amelia Bones, with the “R” standing for some kind of title (such as Reverend, but it’d probably be one of those unique HP titles). The sixth book was very vague about exactly how she died (and the locket DID say that it’s author would probably be dead by the time it was found).
But then again, I don’t really know, of course!
Yes, that IS funny, cos we all know he will tell either me or BB first… please let it be me!
This is a general Harry Potter discussion, right?
I have a–what I see to be–good question:
What would you do to improve Harry Potter? Anything about it–the storyline, the characters, anything? 
I’d kill Harry Potter in the final book. Seriously.
I kinda agree with that…I could see myself killing off Harry if I could write the seventh book…
I’m thinking either Hermione or Ron or Hagrid should be killed–at least that’s what I’d change in the seventh book (if J.K. doesn’t already have something similar planned…).
And, I would make Harry Potter more modern…get rid of the cliched wands and brooms and robes…the castle was nice–I’d leave that–I’d get rid of the candles, though…I could work around these changes…
Instead of wands, they just use their magic like someone would use telekinesis–magic via their own hands…
Brooms? Why? I’d let them actually fly–yeah, that’d be cool…how would Quidditch work, though? Quidditch without brooms? Just your own fitness and speed? I like that much better…IMO…
Robes? Modern clothes are better, thank you very much…^^
Candles? How about a spell where a witch or wizard could conjure up bubbles of light that station themselves where needed, float aimlessly around the room, or follow the bewitcher if necessary…? That sounds cool, right? 
I’ll go back and skim through the books again…see what else I might change… -.-
Who else thinks Hermione’s hot?
I do! Not. 
Seriously, Jason—why? 
well… in the fourth movie… when she comes down the steps to the yule ball… wait no! think rikku thoughts…
/me thinks of rikku to drive hermione out of mind
Okay. Lets talk about that girl who’s name i can’t remember… you know, the know-it-all? Who is Harry’s friend or something like that? I don’t think i know anything about her…
I think…her name’s Hermione…
She’s hot!
I already knew that, but Rikku was looking at me funny… so i forgot her…
Emma is hot… and it’s her birthday… awwwwww
I wonder if she’s a lucid dreamer. 
One thing though… I have the same birthday as Hermione…
Emma Watson > Hermione Granger
I KNOW! I meant, that the character Hermione is the one i share a birthday with. NOT Emma Watson!
But you miss the point.
Emma > Hermione.
I know Emma is Hermione. But it is not Emma i share a birthday with! Hermione > Book Character
HERMIONE is the one i share a birthday with! The character in the books!
= better than
Duh.
Actually >= : equal or better than
But > :Better than
xD
Okay, I read this about half an hour ago, I thought to myself “just let it go, it doesn’t matter” but since I apparently can’t let it go, here I am…
I don’t think you should change anything in Harry Potter, and ESPECIALLY not the brooms, candles, robes, wands or any of those things. Those are the things that make the Harry Potter books so special, it gives the books that magical, unrealistic atmosphere. That’s half the joy of reading the books - you get lost in a whole new, imaginative world, and it’s wonderful thing.
The robes are only there for the atmosphere, as well as the castle, but the brooms actually help out with the plot, like Quidditch! If you take out the brooms, you’d have to take out the Quidditch!
I dunno, with too much modernization, what would Harry Potter be? Just another teenage book? Or a thriller…? It would lose all the Harry Potter-ness and just become an average, plain book.
Oh, and although I see how killing someone off could be “cool” or suitable or whatever, I really hope J.K Rowling isn’t cruel enough to do it. Some of us (me) actually take Harry Potter way more seriously than it should be taken, and every time one of the characters die… I dunno. I hope no one else dies. It’s just painful for me.
Takes a deep breath Calm down. It’s just a book… just a book…
