I'll join you there Tribble...

I read the article on the website you linked to...very interesting stuff...but I'm not going to read that Langford book. I'm just not into analyzing what might or might not be in the next HP book. I just read and see, but sometimes something "obvious" shows up and makes me wonder whether I'm right...that's why I "offered" the bet. I remember reading HP 6 and thinking when Dumbledore died:
"He's not dead, no way!" But I'd actually like to be wrong...many fantasy books follow the "Tolkien Plan" (or something similar) too closely. Maybe it's like Jasper Fforrde says in his Thursday Next novels...^^
I might read other books Langford wrote since he seems to be a fantasy writer himself...I'll have to see what I can find.
