Hi! This is Ghosthunter

I am eagerly anticipating the DVD release of
movie 4 of Harry Potter. Hmmmmmmmmm?
how many of you on this site are eagerly
awaiting it's DVD release? How many
times have have you folks seen the movie
in the theatre?

Why I am eager for it wrote:
I am eager in a different way than most movie
viewers. between 2004 and 2005 I had
a fascination with fanmade videos. I have
adquired hundreds of them durning 2004 to
October 2005.

I then got a Vidster Digital Camera on my
birthday on 10/19/05' and during September
a Pismo to replace my dying Wallstreet, thus
DVD option to capture images for videos.

It is amazing how a computer and a camera can
bring out aspie strengths. I now have
and mostly exhusted my movie 1-3 video
ideas and mainly learning the iMovie effects
in X.4.3 until this movie release.

This is the reasoning and preparation for
the DVD release. getting familiar with my
effects available to me.


My interest in the movies is because I like
their non-verbal expressions and body language
as well as the character quirks that resemble
parts of autism to me based on particular
characters.

Harry would be HFA/Aspergers in trials and tribulations

Hermoine would be Aspergers lack of social recipricosy
and know-it-all approach to things.

Ron is Ron, the one who seeks the courage and
strength of others. since Harry is autistic
in a higher form and gifted in different ways,
bringing chaos in a otherwise unknown future
that he may see.

The weasley's are the compassions that parents
can be, and understanding of the special needs
for both Hermoine and Harry,

Ect..........


Now it is your turn!

Are you folks eager for the DVD release?
What do you see in the characters?
Any other thoughts and ideas?

Sincerely,
Ghosthunter

I can't wait for the DVD release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! I saw the movie only once because it is difficult for me to go to a movie. What do you think will happen in the seventh book? I hope J. K. Rowling does not kill Harry Potter in the end.

Harry will have to die. It is suggested in many idol views and
sublte statements the author makes. If I am correct, she said
#7 is the last book.

Hmmmmm? I do suspect besides being self-preserving, Snape
was in co-hoots with Dumbledore regarding his(d'dore) death.
This will allow a series of events that would not have occur
otherwise.

Hmmmm? Why else would he make sure harry was safe and took
not risks when they did the Horicrux finding. And why else
instruct Harry on the past to date knowledge to harry about
voldemort. Too many pre-cursors to fore-knowledge on Dumbledores
part and also by Harry not knowing about snapes plans with
Dumbledore Harry would be more resourceful.

The fact is Snape did the unbreakable Vow too casually and
that has often implied a Dumbledore-Snape arrangement.


This is just my #7 opinions, and they might be wrong.

Hmmmmm? Jerick....What do you think will happen in #7.

Sincerely,
Ghosthunter

If you want my opinon about the 7th book, I think Harry will die but so will Lord Voldemort. It could be something like Harry dies and Neville Longbottom kills Lord Voldemort. That would almost make some sense because of the prophecy.

Where is Bec when you need her? :lol:

*eagerly awaiting 4th movie release onto DVD*

MARCH 7TH!! !

As for the 7th book (which I'm now DYING for), I haven't got a clue. Voldemort is obviously gonna die. But I think others are certainly going to die, too, and I have no idea but guesses as to who else that would be.

*giddiness* *hand-flapping* *rocking* :D :D :D

As I said on another thread, I don't think any of the characters but Luna as AS or autie. I think Hermione has obsessive-compulsive personality disorder if anything. Harry doesn't have anything but maybe a "hardy type" personality (A good thing). Dumbledore is just gullible. That's my opinion anyway.

I agree. Luna has either an ASD or is Schizotypal (or both).

I'd say AS more than scizotypal because of how happy she is when people are friendly with her. Remember when Harry asks her to the meeting then adds "Just as a friend, of course," (in essence, don't have the book with me, borrowed it from a friend then returned it) and she's absolutely extatic that he considers her a friend? That was what tipped the scales for me: "OK, this one's an Aspie."

Well, I've noticed just from some folks on here that AS and Schizotypal definitely can occur together, whether or not they're both diagnosed. ;)

Odd, I kind of assumed Hagrid was AS.

AGGG. Nvm. You're right. I was confusing it with Scizoid (those people want nothing to do with others). Looked it up in my trusty DSM.

Keeping the actual definition of scizotypal in mind, one possible plot twist in the last book: This was all something Luna imagined in the "real world."

"A Magical Mind."

I'm torn betweent that being a really good ending, ro maybe Harry and Snape having a showdown like this:

Snape: Join the death eaters! You will be powerful!
Harry: Never!
Snape: Harry, I am your father!
Harry: NOOOOOOO!
Snape: -cuts off Harry's hand-

Ha! Finally someone else who agrees. A friend of mine came up with this theory and I think it fits perfectly, I'll be surprised if it's not what happens, but not many people believe it.

Oh Man. I never saw any aspergers or HFA or anything in any of the characters. Luna was just a loon. Hence her name. I am sure if JK Rowling wanted to write an Aspergian Character or a HFA character she would have approached it with a little more clarity and thought. Hence she wouldn't have called her Luna - or Loony Luna.

Any similarities to characters is just that. They aren't real, just characters! hehe - sorry - I am getting off my soapbox now. Damn, my feet are all soapy now and they weren't due to be washing for another week.... DAMN YOU GHOSTHUNTER for making me wash my feet. :wink:

I'm here! :)

I'm excited about the Goblet of Fire DVD too! I'm sure you're all surprised about that. About the 7th book: Voldemort will definitely die, but I also think that Harry will die too. I don't think that Neville will kill Voldemort, but Neville will defintely be important. I think Neville might kill Bellatrix.
