Oh, it is not harsh...it is not harsh at all...have you even read the Twilight books?! *goes into a screaming fit of rage* *cerimoniously burns Twilight books* *realizes that she hid money in the aforementioned books* *cries* Anyhoo... read the twilight books and you will understand this.... unless you turn out to be a fan, in which case I would be in awe of you for the fact that you could stand reading them...very brave :D I made it throught the fourth one (barely) and swore I would never make myself finish a series I didn't like ever again....anyhoo, yes...she does deserve it...and much, much more.... *cackles*

You crack me up, Koffee. :)

@ Hannah: If you make it through that series, you're definitely brave enough to be in Gryffindor. I couldn't even bring myself to read three and four. Mom didn't want me to anyway, though, so that's fine. *is relieved*

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, wow. Hope you get the money back (LOL)

I'm not allowed to read the twilight books. Vampires are OK I guess. They have a very difficult and tragic life. But I think Werewolves are a much better topic. Did you know Lupinus is a Latin word meaning great wolf? That is how J.K.Rowling got the last name Lupin for Remus Lupin.

And um, we all deserve to die because of our sins, but not everyone deserves to be MURDERED. I mean, she's just an author who wrote a book that you didn't like. Is that really reason to want her to be MURDERED?

Uh.... I actually LIKE Twilight. *ignores thousands of boos* I just put that in there because most people here do.

@ Lupin, You're right, Hannah. Also, the legendary founders of Rome who were said to be brought up by a wolf were named Romulus and Remus. J. K. Rowling is brilliant like that. If you're interested in Harry Potter stuff like that, get The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter by David Colbert. I would really recommend it.

One time at the library my mom got The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter. I read it (some of it anyway). But that's not how I found out about Remus Lupin's name. You see I have a Latin dictionary., Which is SO SO SO AAWWEESSOOMMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem. *collects self* Anywho, Nympha is the Latin word for Nymph. Isn't that easy to remember? And Tonsus is a Latin word meaning, the mode (way) of cutting or wearing of the hair. That's probably how J. K. Rowling *sings hallelulia chorus* came up with the name Tonks. And Tonks is always changing her hairstyle. And Penso is a Latin word meaning to ponder or consider. Like the Pensieve allows you to do. There are many more Harry Potter words that came from Latin, but sorry I don't have all day er... I mean night.

All the spells are Latin-based (with the exception of Avada Kedavra, which is a play on Abra Cadabra, oddly enough).

For example (Bella's favourite...) the Cruciatus, for example, IS Latin; "cruciatus" means "torture" or "torment"; "crucio" is the verb form.
