First, I introduced myself as a new user as you indicated, but I'm not sure how to do the commenting back and forth thing... but I'm trying to reach you in order to let you know that the info I posted for the Greater Picture on HP book 7 is totally, 100% authentic...
Next, I say thank-you, I'll take it as a compliment that you suspected plaigiarism. Truth is I happen to be a pretty good writer... if you could ask my friends who always come to me for their master's theses, school work, and even their job reports, you'd understand. In lieu, you'll just have to take my word for it and maybe check the "User info thingy" < can't remember what it's called and I was just there 5 min. ago > and you'll be able to recognize the writing style.
Anyway, I wrote it last night as a word doc and copy/pasted into the Muggles Guide book... so if you need to see the original doc properties to verify, it can be included as an email attachment if you wish to share how to get in touch.

[edit] Too many friends killed off
I think J.K. could have done a little less killing off close friends of Harry Potter.If she had also killed of Hermione and Ron i think he would not have given a shit about dying or Voldemort.I think she should have left either Tonks or Remus alive and Dobby's death was pretty useless also cause in the end the goblin still fooled them.Besides all the fuss about a sword that still shows up when its needed.
- But then his death would have been of no use... it was because he was dying to protect his friends that Voldemort was unable to harm Neville. And yes, the sword shows up when needed... if one has the Sorting Hat, that being where it seems to come from, though nobody yet knows that it has that habit. As to all the deaths: that is part of what makes it a good story: consistency. Death Eaters kill people, if there were too many spared, it would feel false. Myself, if either Remus or Tonks was to die without the other, I think it would just be too sad for words; they are so very much in love with each other. And again, consistency: whichever one died first would spur the other into a bout of berserk rage, and he or she would be extremely likely to get killed as well... though not alone. I have to admit to feeling a little short-changed at not seeing their final battles... Chazz (talk) 17:12, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
