Just looking at other websites, I found some rather humorous and stupid things.

Dumbledore is dead, Rowling says, but is he?
Petition Against Rowling

If you didn't already know, on August 2nd, J.K. Rowling had some questions asked of her at a fundraising event that had her, Stephen King and another author as the headers for the whole kit-and-kaboodle. Making a long convention short, the biggest questions on everybodies minds were - "Is Dumbledore dead?" and "What would Hermione see in the Mirror of Erised?"

Impressive, I know. Rowling answered both fairly straightforward. Dumbledore is truly dead - and she even referenced the site Dumbledore Is Not Dead, saying sorry to them and that she still admired their hardwork. Despite this, both the site she mentioned and the above massive hit to Rowling's bank account went onto produce mind-blowing theories that shot down Rowling's following responses at the event:

I understand why someone would kill a character; from the point of view of not allowing others to continue writing it after the original author is dead. I don’t always enjoy killing my characters. I didn’t enjoy killing the character who died at the end of book six (I’m being discreet just in case anyone hasn’t finished the book).

And:

Well, Salman, your opinion, I would say is, right. But I see that I need to be a little more explicit and say that Dumbledore is definitely dead. And I do know - I do know that there is an entire website out there that says - that's name is DumbledoreIsNotDead.com so umm, I'd imagine they're not pretty happy right now. But I think I need - you need - all of you need to move through the five stages of grief and I'm just helping you get past denial.

I think #57 on the Petition summed it up pretty effectively:

Shut the fuck up, old man. I killed your fucking ass.

As for some other humorous HP happenings:

More Denial....
Despite Rowling saying "You're still out there?" and mouthing "C'mon, you need to get over it" to the Harry/Hermione fans at the interview who stood up and cheered for their ship when mentioned, the fansite, HarmonyForever.com continues to turn out essays on why their ship will happen in Book 7. Their main case? That "nothing can be that obvious as Rowling doesn't do the obvious" and that she is still ambiguous in giving responses to questions regarding relationships.

You can love MuggleNet.com again....
At the Lumos Convention, various commitee meetings were held to discuss various aspects of Harry Potter. At the Slash and Het committee, a participant gave this interesting report:

Five or so minutes into the Slash and Het panel, two guys (both teenagers, as far as I could tell) - one wearing Gryffindor robes and the other in Slytherin robes - stood up in response to the mention of Harry/Draco. The Gryffindor-costumed boy said something like "Why does everybody think we're together?" which, honestly, I thought was funny initially. However, he kept going on and on and on, ranting about slash in a very loud and disruptive way, until finally security had to go over and shut him up. A few minutes after he was made to stop talking, he and his friend left the room.

For the most part, I was able to put the incident out of my mind, because the other 170 people in the room didn't seem all that upset by the interruption, and honestly, I assumed they were just two silly random teenagers.

Except...they weren't.

I discovered later that the mouthy Gryffindor was actually Emerson Spartz, and that changed my opinion of this little foray into performance art.

Emerson Spartz runs MuggleNet.com and is in fact an asshole.

Harry/Ginny fans making an already shitty book worse....
Not to be outdone by the think-tank that was the Hermione/Harry shipping community, a very intelligent Harry/Ginny fan posted this bit of brilliance regarding the Chamber of Secrets' climactic moments:

Chamber of Secrets: Tom Riddle's Apparent Connection to Michael Jackson

I won't quote anything from there as H/G is generally disdained but if you want extra kicks, scroll up after reading it.

 

I cant believe I actually followed your link! I should have known better...
That is just disgusting. But thanks for not quoting it here.
People beware!

 

Bioplague, I blame you for my inability to finish my bagel.

As far as H/HR goes I think its written decent in fannon sometimes, but these people thnkng that it will still happen are deluding themselves, its almost as bad as the sloash 'proof'.

 

OMG!!, I followed your link and the first sentence was just ridiculously...erm how should I say this...FUCKED UP!! After that I couldn't bring myself to read the rest. Thanks to that, I hate HP/GW even more, if thats possible.

 

It is very sad what a person can come up with when they read into something far too much, aint it?

 

well that was disgusting, just read it after dinner, not a good idea. As someone before so nicely phrased it "BEWARE"

 

Wow that person has WAY to much free time to come up with something that far fetched.

 

Yeah, it's a bit disgusting >_>

Emerson Spartz Is Still An Asshole
To some Emerson Spartz is a hero - to others, he's a bigger asshole than George Lucas. Despite whatever view, one thing every twelve to fifteen year old girl can agree on is this: Emerson Spartz is one hot piece of ass.

Words fail me... Some poeple have way too much time on their hands...

 

Hey, he did fight the slash onslought, so he can't be all bad...

But yeah, the guy needs a life.

On Rowling, I really want to see her reaction she stumbles on Lightning on the Wave's Sacrifice's Arc series.

The fanfiction series is longer than the canon series and features a disgustingly pussy Harry who is Happy to have a possessive Draco Malfoy as a boyfriend.

"Oh look Mr. Rowling, some hopeless loser wrote a gay romance novel longer than my own original series. Some people just get too into this stuff..."

 

lol well said Amerision.
Emerson spartz is the biggest of all assholes

 

ShushiZ, talking about that man only makes his fanbase stronger. shhhhhhh

 

Yes, we must not say his name. If we have to speak of him we shall refer to him as You-Know-Who.

 

Goodness.
Its horrible how people just feel the need to look into a scene so deeply just to find sexual refrences.
"hey guys, guess what Grimmauld place is a symbolic whore house because there are so many females in the house!"
im just waiting for someone to spew that out of their mouth and say thats what JKR ment for it to be.

 

Hehe~ This is so frigging hilarious.

While I'm not one the very time-oriented people, since I am, after all, here while I could be doing more productive things ~ like studying my ass off~ but I do realize the importance of time. I mean, it just passes once. And people making fanclubs for a fanclub... that really rattles my cage. God, don't they seriously have anything else to do? Bitch slip those idiots and tell them to pick up a good book, and fucking read, outside of their slash-oriented, whatever oriented, bibliography.

 

Followed the link out of curiosity. I could hardly read the titles of the threads; for I was dazzled -- what am I saying? -- blinded by all that pink...

Pink... pink... PINK!... Now there will be PINK spots dancing in front of my eyes for two days!

 

BAHAHAHA!!!

Finding Sex in the Chamber of Secrets. Jesus H. Christ. That's like looking for -- and finding -- homoerotic love between Mercutio and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet.

In other words, pure bullshit.
