Crookshanks

[Guest]

[Roz]

Thanks to Mak for pointing this out to me as I have not read  JK's site yet, but:

He's not an animagnus but no ordinary cat either (which has always been obvious from the fact that he's taken to Sirius and not to wormtongue etc).

But she says "if we read Fantastic Beasts" we might be able to work out what he is.

I shall re-read it tonight and see what I can find out - if you don't have a copy of Fantastic Beasts - or want a UK first print copy then PM me - I have a fair few spares.. don't ask why!!!

Cheers

Roz

From what I have read, I believe he is a half kneazle (I read these books too much, that was typed without even referencing the book ) I believe JK says this on her site.

[Roz]

LOL - I just emailed you saying Mak had found he was half Kneazle...

So what can we expect from Crookshanks - does it make him intelligent - what amazing powers will he have - perhaps he'll be the one to kill Voldermort  

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Kneazles can develop extreme loyalty to their owners and have an uncanny ability to detect unsavoury charcters... Methinks this will be quite useful in Book 6 and 7 what with the imperius curse etc being used left right and centre!

Roz, I sent you an email re. the Sam litho idea. LMK what you think

Indeed you are very right - good old Crookshanks - like Neville Longbottom I have a soft spot for him.

In fact I think Neville will turn out to be something of a hero in time

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I think he did quite well in OotP. Was willing to undergo the cruciatus curse in order to protect the prophecy.

I quite like Crookshanks as well. The squashed up face that l'ooked like he had run headlong into a brick wall' description endeared him to me forever   In fact one of the (many) moments that made me giggle in the series was the description (GoF) of him chasing after gnomes in the garden.

But the scene that had me in hysterical fits of hte giggles was visualising the scene in OotP where Fred and George let off the fireworks which run rampant over the school and among other things trace rude words in the air. Call me childish, but...meh.

what a helpful topic for the quiz

[samwise16]

I do believe topics such as this is to encourage new members wanted to enter to READ topics  

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Just looking at samwise's new status as a 'omnipotent yak' Is it just me or do those look like toupees? Or really thick eyebrows/moustaches???  LOL!

[samwise16]

"So I imagine this is just a ceremonial position. I mean, they don't actually expect me to do any fighting (moderating). Do they?"

Well while Roz and Mark are away i do believe they have left me to MOD.  

" They called us out to MOD."
" This is no place for a Hobbit."
"Guard of the theyakshack indeed."

I guess those quote dont ring a bell or do they  

i think they look like moustaches

 

[saruman]

ya as do i,good luck with being omnipotent though,i hear its fun

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I would have been asked to do it as well, but Roz told me that:
 
'I would be dead than to see the yakshack in the hands of an elf!'

 

[samwise16]

LOL ahh your quote is better than mine    

[ferdinand_the_yak]

When you watch it as much as I do... actually am watching it now!

samwise, I forgot to ask you, I have never seen you mention your TT collection... did you collect that series?

FTY

[samwise16]

i did, i had theoden, 4 eomers, frodo, pippin and that was it  

[ferdinand_the_yak]

4 Eomers... wow, you could trade them in for an Eowyn. Women more valuable than men  

[samwise16]

well they are all sold now along with frodo pip and theoden. Its a shame i liked the TTT alot more than ROTK  

[ferdinand_the_yak]

TT set was pretty good, I would have liked to collect that one in its entirety... but as I have FOTR Aragorn and ROTK Pippin and Faramir already, it would mean some repeating... and I like the autos I have more than the ones in the TT set.

Decisions  

[savage727]

I wonder if Topps is going to release a second wave of Autograph cards for ROTK after the Update set comes out like they recently did for the ROTK release?  I would not put it past them!    Maybe then we would get some autos we are really looking for - Sauron,
Treebeard, and Gandalf to name a few!

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I would like some dual/triple signers eg.
Arwen/Aragorn
Aragorn/Legolas/Gimli
Elrond/Galadriel
Sam/Frodo/Gollum
Treebeard/Merry/Pippin
Eowyn/Faramir
Wormtongue/Saruman/Sauron
Elrond/Arwen
PJ/Howard Shore  

and i could go on
