TSS: quirrel and voldy

POA: Sirius being harry's godfather
GOF: cedric dying, voldy back
OOTP: sirius dying, harry finding out that either voldy or hium has to kill one another

mine is probably in the 3rd book...

Moody/Crouch in book 4.
I mean, hell, I didn't even catch on when Harry saw "Bartemius Crouch" on the map.

I have to say that, besides Lupin (of course), Barty Crouch was the BEST TEACHER EVER.
Even when I knew he was the bad guy. hehehe.... hm... but one has to wonder why he insisted so much on Harry being able to throw off the Imperio curse...

For me it'd have to be a draw between the ends of PoA and GoF. I mean, how many of you were expecting Sirius to be the dog/grim Harry kept seeing, Pettigrew to be Scabbers and Lupin a werewolf? Same with GoF where you find out Crouch is Moody. Quirrel was also quite unexpected.

Meh. Me being the resident expert on narative causality (against my will, I might add)... none them were surprising at all. For some strange reason... I can pick plot points off a mile away.

Actually, the only one of those three that surprised me at all was Pettigrew/Scabbers. I figured out the Sirius/dog thing at the beginning of PoA, and the Lupin/werewolf thing once Snape made a point of skipping to werewolves in class. Their names gave them away.

The whole Moody thing shocked me. I was also suprised when in The Order of the Pheonix, Dumbledore and Voldemort are fighting and he calls him Tom. It took me a bit to remember Voldemort's name was Tom so I was like 'who the hell is he talking about?'

yeah, that took me a second as well, but when I figured it, I just thought that was awesome. I mean, the symbolism of that is great. It's like he still sees him as just a misbehaving school pupil, and doesn't give him the respect/power of everyone else by calling him Voldemort. It's a mind game... 'tis awesome.

My thoughts exactly. Dumbledore is so awsome, but I have a funny feeling something bad will happen to him later...

I was equally surprised by OOtF and PoA though GoF was the greatest surprise.

and what, pray tell, is "OOtF"?

The rest of us spell it Phoenix.

GoF still = biggest surprise. He was such an awesome teacher, too... wow.

OOtF = Order of the Foot it's a controversial book by J.K. Rowling that was rejected and re-written as Order of the Phoenix.

nothing really surprised me except when sirius turned out to be harry's god father. you can kind of guess at a lot of things and cedric dying came as no surprise. j.k. had said that someone will die in that book and after i read about the tournament i new it was going to be someone in the tournament. the others really aren't that surprising.

Yep. And EVERYTHING about Sirius. And I picked that moody wasn't moody. And that Quirrel was voldemort's lackey.
