That can't happen because that would break the rule that every dark wizard/witch from Hogwarts came out of Slytherin... but I do suspect Harry will be tempted by Voldemort, since Voldemort will never know the rest of the prophecy...

Spoiler:

Has every dark wizard come out of Slytherin? I know the vast majority did, but I'm not sure if every single one did. Besides, even if you're right (which you probably are), it wouldn't be that shocking if Harry became the first non-Slytherin to turn bad. He was almost sorted into Slytherin, after all.

I still don't think Harry will become evil, but it would be a hell of a suprise.

Luke Skywalker walked the dark side for a little while, after Return of the Jedi.

I've finally finished the fifth Harry Potter book, so now the discussion can re-commence.

So, my biggest question after reading the OoP is "what the hell happened to Sirius"? I was waiting for the usual "Rowling explains everything in the second to last chapter" deal, but she never did explain what that old archway was or what happened to Sirius when he fell through it. Where did he go? What were those voices coming from within the arch? Is there possibly a way of rescuing him? Rowling's silence on the matter makes me think that this arch will be very important in the next two books. I'm very interested to see what will become of it.

It's called suspense... he is gone, but is he? And how and why . There is a reason it is called the Department of Mysteries... maybe it'll be one of those things that will be talked about for years

Speaking of mysteries, your posts might seem more mysterious if you got the "spoiler" tags right.

BTW, I agree with your view on Luna Lovegood. I sense a love-triangle coming up between Loony, Ronnie and Hermy. Maybe even a love-quadrilateral if Viktor Krum gets involved.

OTOH, I don't know if Harry is going to have another love interest. I think that the knowledge of his destiny is going to change him, making him a loner who is more concerned with preparing for the inevitable clash with Voldemort than with mundane matters like puppy love. Harry has a lot to deal with, as Dumbledore said, and I think it is going to profoundly change the way Harry interacts with other people. We were already given hints of this at the end of OoP.

Ha ha... A harry who is able to be tempted by the dark side... very nice indeed. And love-quadrangles ... well they are getting older, I guess. I can just see the fanfic orgy scene from that one. hehe... anyway, I think Hermy drops Krum, basically telling Ron they are just friends and were simply writing each other about something of great importance... or something. That would keep with Hermione's character, somewhat.

Anywho, maybe if we keep posting in spoilers people will wonder and read this fine book .
