Harry shifted uncomfortably in his seat, uneasily aware that Professor Snape knew exactly what he was thinking and feeling. Snape surveyed the class and said, "The events of the year preceding the first downfall of he who we do not name led to it being known as the 'Annus horribilis'. Spelled incorrectly with one 'n' instead of two, as Potter and Weasley and no doubt some others have contrived to do, the phrase refers to a potion, better known by its Muggle name of 'vindaloo'. Some of you will by now be well acquainted with its effects."

"B-b-but Professor, I c-c-can't possibly be pregnant", said Cho, sobbing. "It was only a Goblin party I went to."

"To lose one parent is a misfortune" said Dumbledore sadly, shaking his head. "But to have the entire Hogwarts PTA Avada-Kedavra'd ..."

Madam Pomfrey brushed aside all excuses and explanations. "Well what else did you expect ?" she said, "Saying 'Well, bugger me' anywhere near an enchanted broom ?"

****

"Well, aren't you pleased to see me, Ron ?", said Hermione. "Or is that just a three-foot long scroll in your pocket ?"

Stuff that will be left out:

Harry finished his firewhiskey and motioned to the barkeep for another. He turned back to Ron. "Yeah, the job's alright -- I'm up for promotion to Assistant District Manager next year. And in another two years I'll get three weeks vacation. Can't complain, although the boss is a total git."

Ron smiled wanly. "I know what you mean. My supervisor is a supreme a-hole -- keeps making me rewrite the executive summaries on the production reports." He scratched the top of his head, where his scalp gleamed through the pale orange strands of his comb-over. "So, do you think Hermione will show?"

"Nah," said Harry, gazing absently at his former schoolmates gyrating on the dance floor, and rubbing his paunch. "I haven't heard from her since Cho and I split up. She's too big a deal to come to a reunion -- famous author, and all."

"You're probably right," agreed Ron. He paused thoughtfully. "Who'd have guessed that she'd make a fortune writing books about Muggle kids' adventures in school? That's all I hear from my two: 'Dad, can we get the new Larry Cotter book? Dad, can we rent Larry Cotter and the Dining Hall Dilema?' I'm sick of it!" he concluded with some heat.

They stood surveying the room for a minute without speaking, as the members of the Hogwarts Class of 2005 jerked and bobbed ridiculously to the DJ's tunes. Finally Harry spoke. "You wanna another drink?"

"Why not?" said Ron, and they turned back to the bar.

"Harry," said Mr. Weasley, "I've tried to be good to you, because I like you and I liked and respected your parents. But enough is enough! I can accept that you and Ron...and that you and Ginny...and you and Fred and George and Bill and Charlie and Ron...well, anyway, I can accept those things. But Harry, I give you fair warning: should you ever again attempt that with Molly...I'll, I'll, I'll become very, very vexed with you."
   --
"CLOACA!" shouted Neville, getting the charm wrong and room filling the room with a foul-smelling, lumpy liquid.
   --
"Oh my," exclaimed Angelina. "I've never been able to remember the difference between a vanishing charm and an engorgement charm. Sorry, Fred."
   --
Lee Jordan pointed his wand directly at Crabbe's lips and exclaimed, "Pogue mahon!"
   --
Dumbledore smiled at Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and seemed to grow larger and, somehow, darker. "You three are the best students Hogwarts has seen in many years. You could be great, all three of you. But you never noticed the Dumbledore sort of rhymes with Voldemort, did you? You never noticed that when Voldemort was around I was not, did you? You never understood that Voldemort only feared me because I AM VOLDEMORT!!"

And, with one shrill "ADAVA KADAVRA!" the three young people lay still, the series over.

"Well, that's interesting," said Hermione teasingly, sitting down across from Harry and Ron in the Great Hall.

"What is?" they asked, together. They leaned forward in expectation.

"I've just seen Nearly Headless Nick in the second floor girl's loo," said Hermione with a smile. "He's been visiting Moaning Myrtle and, from what I saw of them together, he's not nearly as Nearly Head-less as he'd have us believe."

Ron nudged Harry and snickered, "Maybe he's giving Myrtle something to moan about as well, eh?"

Harry took off his robes and gazed into the Mirror of Arisaid. "Oh, man," he breathed, "if only I WAS built like that!"
    --
"Harry," said Ron breathily, "Harry, I've wanted to tell you something for a very long time, Harry."
    --
"Well, for goodness sakes, Weasley," said Seamus, settling the front of his robe. "Why do you think he's called Longbottom, anyway? Neville's family name is Smith."
    --
His robes vanished, and with a big grin Harry plunged into the traditional Gryffyndor House Cup Orgy.
    --
"Huhmf!" Madame Maxime sniffed scornfully. "Not EVERYTHING about you is gigantique, 'agrid."

"Of course Fred and George are going blind, Potter! They're Beaters, after all."

"Now, class," said Hagrid, "I've arranged for a special treat. I think you'll enjoy this, all of ya. Today, we're studying Satyrs and Nymphs, and here they come now!"

"It was horrible," gasped Hermione, "just horrible. I never thought...I never suspected...in the teachers' lounge...McGonigle and Dumbledore...naked...."

Madame Pomfrey sniffed. "Yes, Potter, you have hogwarts, and I have to report it to the Ministry of Public Health. And stay away from those Slytherin girls in the future!"

Some people are really not living in reallity these days when you can go on about a CHILDRENS book being violent. Come on now when you were all kids and were little people ,like your kids and grandweans did some of the "Thats too violent" crew never read any thing that made you nutters and not wee reserved people who care about what the content of a book is. Children (and adults) read books and if HP is a way to get people reading and away from the television and the internet well is it a bad thing just because theres some fighting and some good versus evil and all the stuff that goes into books. That is the crux of things though good and bad. So if someone is relating to the little ones in your care or in your family by writing books whats the problem. At least they're learning about the beauty of language along with some morals in the process

My brother Tony might be thought strange by some, but his house is FULL of reading. And he doesn't protect his kids more than he thinks needful:

"'You're taking a five-year-old and a four-year-old to their grandmother's funeral?! That's awful! Aren't you afraid that your boys will be traumatized?'

'No. Death is part of life. I've explained that to them.'"

"'You're taking your children hunting with you?!?! You'll traumatize them!!! Aren't you worried? Don't you CARE??'

'I'm far more worried that they'll end up thinking that meat comes in neat little packages, all wrapped in plastic.'"

These are word-for-word conversations he had. The results:

The youngest was at the funeral with me. At the cemetery, he was holding my hand and he turned to me and said, "Why are they going to put Grandma in that hole?" "Because we can't keep her around any more. Besides, that's just her body -- Grandma's done with it and has gone elsewhere." "Oh. Then it's a good idea."

Oldest Daughter, the first time she _helped_ to clean out a deer: "It was cool and really, really interesting!" She'll graduate with a BS in Biochemistry next Spring and head off to grad school.

Youngest Daughter, last Fall: "It was great. I think that I want to go into Veterinary Medicine, and now I know more about animal anatomy."

No, don't give 'em more than they can take...and be with them the whole way, because that's your job as a parent. But don't shield them, either.

Books and reading can and do help.

(If you want to shield them, hide the television.)

Here here! PLEASE dont wrap your kids in cotton wool. Know what they are reading, explain context to them, reassure them, but let them have a flavour of life and the real world. I am not a naturally literate person, I understand music at a far more instinctive level than I do litterature. I have always been able to "spell" musically but English has always been hard work. I am so thankfull that I was encouraged to read when I was younger.
As a consequence I am still child like in my reading in that all I really care about in a book is if it has a good story but I HAVE got the skills to access good literature when the need or mood takes me, its just hard work thats all. And why do I have those skills? Because I read Enid Blyton and Biggles amongst others. Probably all now banned as being racist, too violent or some other such PC infringement.
Its not that they were great literature, but they got me READING! My later education was then able to access that skill so that I could appreciate good literature and develop my own oppinions about stuff and understand those of others. How are you expected to truly appreciate most of Monty Pythons humour if you have never read Biggles? I am not saying that we should be writing those kinds of stories now for todays children, society and its norms have moved on since those days, but PLEASE stop overprotecting them. I would rather any child of mine was curled up in bed reading a Potter book than surfing the net or "playing" in the street. Far more "danger" there I would think?

Captain Thunderpants is another one that got made into a film - starring Ron Weasley looking very strange as a egghead.

If the book is banned, how will the little darlings be able to read it?

But I agree, get into the habit of reading now, and the classics can come later, although that spawns a whole new thread, what do you consider a classic children's book?

Reading is a learned response and a habit. They read at school because they have to, at home because they want to. Bratling has seen Manitas and I with a book so often that it's considered normal behaviour to read at home. Our house is full of books, there isn't a room that doesn't have at least one bookshelf full to overflowing, including the bathroom (poetry - people spent entirely too long in there reading long novels, poems are usually shorter). Bratling's nearly finished an Enid Blyton compilation of the Wishing Chair stories, a book thicker than most Bibles! And still, people look amazed when they see her sitting in a corner with a book. I pity them because they've ovbiously learned that reading books stops when you leave school.

LOTS of really great literature has been on the banned books list. It's almost a badge of honor. Sure, lots of kids aren't ready for the HP books, or their parents think they aren't. So they don't have to read it. I'm a librarian too, and believe me, those books get kids to read. Captain Underpants, Harry Potter, Goosebumps, whatever works.

As for myself, I'm currently listening to "Order of the Phoenix" on tape, and I think it's a gas. Great literature, no. Fun stuff? Yes.

And I LOVE the "stuff left out!" Let's have more!

I think leenia must have skipped rather vigorously and creatively.

I think a lot of the problems with the books are that she's been learning on the job. Assuming she keeps on writing after she's got the seven Harry Potter booked finished with, it'll be interesting to see what she comes up with.

I was disappointed she didn't bump off one of the other popular characters instead. But saying which one would be a spoiler, since it'd indicate that unfortunately the character is still with us.
