20 days until Deathly Hallows!! *does happy, anticipatory DH dance*

As promised, here's my (rather lengthy) Deathly Hallows theory in its entirety.  I'm actually quite pleased with it:


In other news, I think my mom's a little depressed.  Not seriously-bad depressed, more like just down in the dumps.  A million wedding announcements proclaiming the nuptial of the children of a number of old college roommates will do that to a person.  I guess she feels bad because she doesn't think that my sister and I have social lives and we're going to be ornery old spinsters and snipe at all the neighborhood kids who are unfortunate enough to hit their baseballs in our front yards.  Plus, all these people we both went to high school and were friends with are getting married, so I think it makes her feel like we're both just being single for the sake of being different or some stupid Quibbler-like headline (we'll only find the Mystic Kettle of Nackledirk if we're happily unattached or whatever).

Plus, all these blessed events have been set for this weekend which brings me to another rant: how creative do you have to be to set your wedding date as 07-07-07?  Is there some mystical-yet-fortuitous property that comes from getting hitched on triple digits?  Never mind that everyone and their Great-Auntie Ethel's pet lobster will set the same date, thus having to make everyone you invited pick and choose - though they could pick and choose to stay home.  If you want to be really daring, set it for next Friday the 13th.  That'll give you something to tell your kids about.

Like this girl I work with: she got married last June 6 on 06-06-06... not because she and her husband wanted to honor Satan in their ceremony, but because she really likes even numbers and getting married on 06-05-06 or 06-07-06 would have been unacceptable (in her own words: "I'm OCD like that.").  Anyway, I just think it's funny that people have this fixation with numbers.  Yeah, it's kinda neat that this Saturday is 07-07-07, but it doesn't mean much for your future if something big happens on that day.

I may be weird, but I'm not that weird (and I'm hot because the beginning of July always marks the advent of the triple-digit temperatures and I never un-melt until September.  Blah...I hate summer weather).

JK Rowling released the third and final WOMBAT today (Wizard's Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test).  Being that I still don't have much to do except read the training manual (this time it's online, though), I took it at work.  This one was really hard except for maybe the last section about Dark Magic (they were more defense questions than anything).  Maybe I could be an Auror myself!  I'm definitely not cut out for History of Magic, or maybe that's because Harry himself doesn't pay much attention in HoM (dumb kid ^_^).

So far on my WOMBATs, I've gotten straight "Exceeds Expectations," which I suppose translates into straight B's in Muggle grading.  Not bad, considering the questions aren't so much HP trivia and more deductive reasoning from what I know from the books and a lot of guessing.  It's as if I were actually a Hogwarts student and had taken Hogwarts classes (I can dream, right?)

When Jo said that there would be three WOMBATs, I thought that we would get the title of book 7 with the third test.  Obviously, that is not the case, so what could be waiting at the end of this?  I think it must be chapter titles.  I don't think she would release a passage from this last book.  That's a little too spoilery.  Then again, I could do with some more canon to work my new theory out with.

Last night, I started what I think could be a Scribbulus essay (I was up until past midnight doing it - it's weird what comes to you in the shower).  My theory is that there is an opposite to Horcruxes (this part actually came from a discussion on PotterCast #92) and that opposite is a Hallow.  A Hallow is made by sacrificing yourself for someone else.  You encase your entire soul in a relic, but you have to keep that relic with you or you die.  That means that pouch around Harry's neck on the US cover of DH is actually Harry's Hallow.  This will help Harry defeat Voldy because sacrificing yourself takes a supreme act of love.

And that got me thinking, who else has sacrificed herself for others?  Lily Potter!  Which makes Harry, not a Horcrux, but a Hallow!  That's why Lily's eyes are so important.  That could be the mark of Harry being Lily's Hallow.  And since Voldemort has part of Lily's Hallow inside him (since he took Harry's blood to regenerate) and considering where the Final Battle is going to take place, ol' Voldy is a dead Dark Lord walking!  There's more to it than that, but it's in the works.

The problem is that I have to hurry to get my essay ready for the last release of Scribbulus before Deathly Hallows is release because after DH, my theory will either be proved or moot.

Woot!  I have a complex theory!  Go me!
