I liked the third option of leaving it stickied until COS starts then creating an index since there are so many chapters, COS has 18 chapters 8O and thus it's going to be a long dissection... but then so will the others... Hopefully we'll have a larger sign-up next go around but I'm willing to multi...

I was just saying to Menolly the other day that the outright slow and/or falling off response rate is very typical for pretty much every group read I have seen at pretty much every board I've seen that tries to do one (including boards that are a heckuva lot bigger and busier than the Watch). It ju...

I couldn't help but pick out every moment of Neville. He's one of my favorite characters in the series. I love him more than I love Harry, Hermione and Ron. His story is even more tragic than anyone else's. His parents aren't given the peace of death, no, they are tortured so cruelly and so badly t...

It's worth noting that Hermione must have endured countless insults and fights as she ame up through elementary school. yet, somehow, overhearing Ron criticize her sends her running off crying. I thinks it's worth asking, just *when* did Hermione decide Ron was the one for her? Probably a lot soone...

I feel compelled to point out that Voldemort also had a great deal of help. He wouldn't have gone far at all without his loyal Death Eaters. And he would have stayed more-or-less impotent without direct aid from Wormtail and Barty Crouch Jr. Actually... At the Battle of Hogwarts, I believe Voldemor...

Harry's not lacking in talents, he's just a lazy bastard or, if you prefer, has other priorities. Seriously, Harry's general incompetence with magic seems to be result of the fact that he doesn't take his scholwork seriously; plus, he depends on Hermione to take care of him. Whenever he actually ca...

Well okay, then lets take a break and hopefully those of us who are of mind (and reading this particular part of the thread --- maybe break this off to a new one??) will read over the dissections and put in their views/insights/input/ideas/comments etc. etc. etc. This series is (like I said) far too...

Jenn's dissection comes up tomorrow. That'll end The Philosopher's/Sorcerers Stone. Is that going to end the dissections? Response has been very minimal. Most dissections arent' getting any response discussions at all. Perhaps the interest wasn't really there? Average replies are about 4 and most of...

I am pleased to announce the winners of the 2007 Kevins Watch Awards - The Watchies! Best Chapter Dissection - danlo ( Runes of the Earth , Hints) [/b] Umm, did I miss something here or? Not to take Danlo's winning from him but according to the voting it seems that someone else won the best dissect...

Agreed with the previous lists of "Great Moments"... my own are as follows... Episode 1: The death of Jar-Jar Binks... wait, damn, it didn't happen. Episode 2: The death of Jar-Jar Binks... wait, damn, STILL didn't happen. Episode 3: The death of Jar-Jar Binks... ??? :evil: whats going on ...

My deepest apologies for the long delay in getting this chapter going. Life sometimes gets in the way. Ok enough of that. Here we see Harry actually growing more and more into the man he'll become. Pressure is all around. Exams, expecting Voldemort to pop out at any moment around every corner, the ...

Definitely Snape was the bigger tragedy because his whole life was just a Gothic's dream. If they had done Anakin's story right, i.e. the way that it was ORIGINALLY meant to be told then yeah it'd be a more tragic story. But the dunderheads in their quest for the almighty dollar changed it around to...

Well, no, he is not a nice man. On the other hand, he wasn't always that way. Remember Lilly liked him, liked him very much. But he fell in with the wrong crowd and made a horrendous series of mistakes. Odds are he was never one to suffer fools gladly, but in the wake of all that happened, I can ea...

I don't know what sort of intervention I can help with. Snape is a jerk. He's an ass. He's a total selfish mean and petty man. Yes he does do good in the end but he's just not a nice likeable guy. He is beautifully written and I like him as a literary character. But I don't like his personality and...

And I told you about this forum from ... where? :lol: PM me if you want to keep it private. Oh, Martial Talk. This is AceHBK :D Aaahhh ... And Seafoam did the opposite with me. Although I have yet to visit the martial arts forum as I haven't trained in over three years. Boy I'm just trying to get t...

For example, notice how in the film Harry's discovery of the Mirror of Erised happened the same night as his eavesdropp...

Thanks to Seafoam for telling me about this forum

You know I am listening to all of the books again on my ipod since I have the audiobooka nd I sit here and try to give Snape the benefit of the doubt but I can't. I can see no way for people to really like or love Snape, Im sorry. His treatment of Harry was downright awful but people will say it is...

Those are simply awesome.
The Good Morning Voldemort was very well done and highly amusing... the girl is definitely Syltherin.

Also enjoyed "The Prince's Tale" and the use of Johnny Depp as a young Snape... wow... nice!

Thanks for finding and sharing those.

Dumbledore had convinced Harry not to go looking for the Mirror of Erised again, and for the rest of the Christmas holidays the invisibility cloak stayed folded at the bottom of his trunk. Harry wished he could forget what he'd seen in the mirror as easily, but he couldn't. He started having nightm...
