So, after a lot of battling over our single household copy (including an underhanded theft that ended the book up in Europe and forced my father to sit in the living room listening to the end on tape) my entire family has finished reading Harry Potter 7.


My brother claims that "She killed off 11/20ths of the Weasley twins!" He also has decided that the very sad death of his guinea pig, Dobby, a week before the release of the book was prophetic, and has been walking around proclaiming dramatically that "ART IMITATES LIFE."

My dad has decided that he 'ships Dumbledore/Grindelwald; in his own words, he finds it "extremely plausible for young men of that age" who have just found someone who really understands them. I'm fairly sure the word "soultwin" was used.

As for my mom, she just wants to know if Harry and Ginny spend long nights together talking about their complex relationships with the Dark Lord and the way it felt to have Voldemort inside them.

Your family scares me.

[skygiants]

They kind of scare me too.

But at least we can all blame anything I say/do on genetics!

[jaceekei.livejournal.com]

Can I steal your family?

[skygiants]

You can totally share them! *generous*

[vivien]

I LOVE YOUR FAMILY!!!

[skygiants]

THEY MAKE ME LOOK SANE.

See, my mum's comment was just 'so, is Fred going to haunt Hogwarts now?'

[skygiants]

That is also a valid question that no one in my family thought to ask!

Although my dad did want to know if George could take one of Fred's ears as a replacement. It's not like Fred will be needing them, after all.

Someone--I cannot remember who now--said George should get a magic replacement ear, to go with Moody's magic eye and Pettigrew's magic arm.

[skygiants]

- *cracks up* The Ear, the Eye and the Arm. AWESOME.

I love your family.

[skygiants]

*giggles* They are lunatics, but endearing lunatics.

[winding_path]

I think I love your family.

Also, how DID the book wind up being kidnapped to Europe?

[skygiants]

*grins* My mom was going on a business trip, and she decided that since she was going to be spending hours on a plane, it was her right to take reading material with her! Which would have been fine, if my dad hadn't been 3/4 of the way through it when it happened.

Dude, AWESOME. Your family wins.

[skygiants]

I am just lucky none of them write fic.

- well, actually, my brother did at one point. But only for Kingdom Hearts!

[genarti]

...You really, really are.

*entices them to!*

[skygiants]

*KEEPS THEM AWAY FROM BAD INFLUENCES :O*

[genarti]

But I am a GOOD influence! I give them a new creative outlet!

[skygiants]

OF WRONG!!!

Think of my poor little brother if you don't think of me! He was horrified enough when my mom started making 'Davy Jones' seamen' puns - if she started writing fic he might DIE OF SHOCK.

[genarti]

I will entice her to write genfic, and him to write slash. *logical!*

[skygiants]

Alas, they are far more likely to be enticed the other way around. *tragic*

. . . besides, to entice them, you would have to come down to Philadelphia to visit. :D!

[genarti]

You see? Slowly, I win you around to the merits of my plan!

[skygiants]

You are fiendishly persuasive. *admits*

[tinuviel8994.livejournal.com]

So, uh... is your brother single?

[skygiants]

He claims to me that he is! Also, he looks kind of like Daniel Radcliffe. *helpful*

[tinuviel8994.livejournal.com]

Nice. Nice. Uh, good to know.

... *feels creepy*

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Totally off topic, because I'm too lazy to sign into email at the moment before turning the computer off and going, can you post Archibald-Mary?

Thanks!

*sheepishly goes off*
