WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN HARRY POTTER?

I worry about young Harry. After six books of adventures and many warnings from those around him, the boy still doesn't seem prepared to defeat Voldemort and his wicked minions--unless the battle happens to be a Quidditch match. And even then...you must admit...Potter's record is a bit...spotty.

But here's Sasha's very thoughtful take on it (with possible spoilers near the end) and a follow-up (with a spoiler about Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials) at Heading Home Again. Look out, Professor Trelawney!

And here's some strange video from Ellen featuring Emma "Trelawney" Thompson.
