I hope there hasn't been another thread like this -- sorry if there is, but anyway.

Now I know there are so many things going against this -- Hermione living in the Muggle world and Dumbeldore wouldn't let it happen because of Voldemort -- but will Harry ever go to Hermione's for the summer? This is something I would really like to see happen and I'm hoping JKR will do it in Book Five, even though it's not going to happen because of Voldemort's rebirth. However, I think that Harry visiting the Weasleys is getting worn out, I mean there's not much more he can do there anymore and Dumbeldore might even approve Harry in the Muggle world as it would throw Voldemort off. But I doubt it will happen, I guess I can only hope.

Being a H/Hr shipper, though, I would like to see this happen.

Maybe Harry might go there, but he's not quite safe to right now, what with Voldie back from the almost-dead.

hey hannah... wassup???? well i don't know if he'll ever go there... maybe, at least he probably will some time. but i really am wondering what will happen with H/H i mean, we know H/R have something for eachother, but it's hard to know whether that will last or not. it's tough also b/c Harry has some feelings for her, maybe not entirely in that way /yet/. that's the thing. I think. I'm also thinking H/Ginny maybe, but idon't know. I'd like to see what happens with a 'love triangle' hehe. that 'd be interesting, they'd all be mad at eachother, certainly another way to throw some calamity in there. but Harry has to have something, just not like Ron does. Hermione is more comfortable w/Harry...that's probably a sign of her thing for Ron, who knows? lol

:welcome: To the Boards Garrett123!

As for the house thing, that would be a good idea, for his prottection and all, and unless Voldemort has spies n Hogwarts, then he would have a time figuring out where he went, as he knows he's at the Dursleys, and I am certain that he will eventually break what ever protection DD has put on there...and it would help out the H/Hr ship a bit..:D

Dumbledore hasn't said anything about the Granger's house having a protection like the Dursley's. I really don't think that the Hermione's parents could protect Harry like the Dursley's house could.

I don't think Harry would be allowed to go to Hermione's house because of the safety issue. Although I do think it would be funny to see how Ron would adjust to living in a muggle environment if he went to visit.

I agree, Harry wouldn't be allowed to stay at Hermione's house. It would, however, be interesting to see the two boy's at Hermione's house. It would be nice to meet Hermione's parents and see her house, see her neighbourhood.

meh.

Hey ya'll!!
I don't think that Harry would be goin to Hermione's because their Muggles, i know your probably thinkin what about the dursley's? well, i think that the dursley's are the secret hiding place and Mrs. Figg is their secret keeper.

I also wonder about Harry visiting the Grangers in relation to THEIR safety. It is bad enough that they are Muggles and, from Voldemort's point of view, that Hermione is, therefore a Mudblood. This puts them in danger already, but if Harry were there they would be Voldemort's prime target. Still it would be nice to see some Muggles portrayed in a good light.

I don't think Harry would stay with Hermione. As most people have been saying..because of protection. But also maybe because JKR wants Harry and Hermione (if they're suppose to be together in the end) to stay away from each other. I dunno

Fuchsia
April 21st, 2003, 2:21 am
I don't think JK has any reason to keep Harry and Hermione away from each other.
But girls do not have boys over to stay at their houses do they? Especially when they are teenagers hitting puberty?
Not to mention the safety issue.

Shoujo Kitsune
April 21st, 2003, 2:25 am
well, if you put it that way..then there is no way Harry could stay with Herminoe...but it would have been cool!

I think even if Harry were invited to stay at Hermione's, he'd pass.

Not because of the boy-girl thing, but because he wouldn't want to put her parents at risk. He's figured out that something has been set up at Privet Drive to protect him. The Grangers are defenseless against Voldemort.

At least at the Weasley's, they have their magic. They know the deal and are better prepared.

So I say Harry will stay put or go to the Weasley's. He'd never forgive himself if something happened to Hermione's parents.

Shi
April 21st, 2003, 4:07 am
Good point tiefi!!! I agree, Harry probably would pass.

Personally, I would like Ron to visit the Grangers... he could have all sorts of fun with all those crazy muggle inventions, and maybe even learn how to use a fellytone!!! He could do these things by visiting Harry, but the Dursleys sure wouldn't like that!

Harry already knows about Muggle life, so visiting Hermione's wouldn't be as interesting for him...

April 21st, 2003, 12:36 pm
Now THAT I would love to see!!!

The Weasleys having a BBQ at the Grangers. Too fun, so many funny things that could happen. It doesn't meet the plot of the book, but it would be hoot to read about. Maybe some avid fan can write a chapter on it.

Think:
Molly helping Mrs. Granger with the desserts ("Now how do you scrub your pots, dearie? By HAND?)
Mrs. Granger seeing her back yard tables fly through the air (Ala GoF with the older Weasleys)
Mr. Weasley avidly discussing plugs while Dr. Granger basts the shis-kahbobs.

Too much fun!

Hello again!oh and hi Garrett!

anyways i know it s not really gonna happen but it would be funny the three of em especially Ron.Harry and Hermione would have a great laugh.He doesnt even know what electricty is!It'd funny .Also your all right about Hermiones safety it would be risky for her aswell as Harry unprotected.
Thats something else i want to talk about ,you know people say that Harry will be protected even more now because of Voldemorts rebirth well dont you think maybe they might do something about extra protection on Hermione and Ron seeing as theyre so close to Harry ,im sure Vol would have them as targets also, to use as hostages or something,dont you think?

Plus one more thing and its always struck me while reading Harry P.Everyone is always so keen on keeping him safe ,i mean not that they should not care about what happens to him but why do they care so much.I think this shows us that the people/wizards are maybe sort of depending on Harry as he is the only one to defeat Voldemort,like Prof.Trelawneys first prediction people say she predicted Harry as his downfall,do the wizard world see harry as a sort of Saviour?Someone to save them from Darkness.I believe this theory myself and i want to know what you think please.
alright then ,see you,
Hannah^_^

I don''t really think it would be appropriate. When HHermione is at Rons shhe spends tie with Ginny who is a girl. I mean she sleeps in Ginnys room and stuff.. But if Harry slept over att hermiones it would be inapropirate because even if Hernmione had a brother there he doesn't know him yet. I think that hermione is an only child anyway. It's so tottally inapropiat for harry to stay at hermiones and thats that. Plus Ron and Harry are like best friens and are closer thatn they are with hermione, at leasyt I think so.

April 21st, 2003, 2:53 pm
MAYBE Harry will be at rons and all of the Weasleys and Harry will go over but i doubt that Harry will go over the summer. There is a possibility he will go during Christmas break. One of these years he will have to leave Hogwarts for Christmas break(maybe to the Weasleys?).

Buttercup
April 21st, 2003, 7:35 pm
I can't picture Hermione asking Harry over to stay at her house. Especially as how their relationship stands now. Hermione is at times shy about expressing her feelings and if she invited Harry he might get a wrong impression of her feelings. It would be awkward for both IMO. Right now there is no definite boyfriend/girlfriend thing going on between them and who knows what will happen in the future but right now I can't see it happening.

GryffindorSeeker
April 21st, 2003, 10:32 pm
It would be cool for him to go there. Not like stay there, but maybe one of these books will have a couple Weasleys pick Harry then Hermione up. Then Harry might actually get to see a NORMaL muggle home ( The Dursleys CANNOT be counted as that.)

pasalita

I could swear that there's been a discussion about this topic before (because I contributed to it), but I can't recall where. Perhaps it was in an old thread (probably now deleted) about what Krum and Hermoine will be up to during the summer.

If I recall my contribution (my mind's getting a bit rusty), I think I said something about how Hermoine would invite Ron and Harry with her to wherever she'll be going to visit Krum. If she will, then I suspect that they'll most likely meet at Hermoine's.

But, to answer the question of will we ever see Hermoine's abode: I think the answer is, "yes." She's too important of a character not to invest interest in, and as a character, we would get to delve into another part of her character by seeing how she lives outside of Hogwarts. We'd get to see what her room is like, what her relationship is like with her parents, etc. As such, I think it's important for JK to take us into the Grangers house.

As mentioned earlier in this thread by another member, it would also add some good humor to see Ron gawk and awe for a change. And, it could serve as a way to develop Harry's character a little more in that we'd get to compare his muggle life to Hermoine's muggle life, especially in the eyes of Ron. Now that I think of it, visiting Hermoine's home would help develop all three of their characters: Ron would learn about another culture and begin to get to know all about muggle life outside of the stories he's heard from Harry, or any “weirdness” he would have concluded based on his dad's obsessiveness with muggle idiosyncrasies; Harry can learn that muggle life isn’t so deplorable as he has come to think of it because of the way he grew up, and that he can be both wizard and muggle at the same time; and we’ll get to see a different Hermoine via interaction with her parents and, well, just getting to see her home.

I can see Harry staying at Hermoine's house, but not by himself. It would probably be a group visit: Ron, Harry, and Ginny would probably stay with Hermoine at some time during their summer holidays (since it looks like Hermoine and Ginny are getting pretty close.) It would be a shame for all the main characters and for us not see an equal investment in Hermoine and her family in the books as we saw with Ron and his family.

There is a thread called How Will Harry Get Away From the Dursleys (http://www.cosforums.com/a/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1204&highlight=Hermiones+house) where it is discussed.

I don't really think he will stay with Hermione. They are getting to the age where it is weird to stay at a grils house (for a boy). Also I think there would be serious safety issues.

Pasalita made some good points. It could be that we will get to know Hermione's parents only to see them die at the hands of Lucius. There's a number of clues to suggest they could be in danger.

dumbleedore
April 26th, 2003, 12:50 pm
I think in book 5 or 6 we will see more of the Grangers. We've only seen them once in CoS, so it would be good to see them again (i'm making it sound like they're old friends!).

But I don't think that a visit to the Grangers would be an overnighter. I think it'd be after Harry goes to the Weasleys and they go to collect Hermione to take her back to school or something.

pasalita
April 26th, 2003, 6:41 pm
Turambar brings up a good point: One topic prevalent in the books is analyzation of wizard "racism," for lack of a better description, and this is most represented by the parallel between Hermoine and Draco. So, it would be no surprise to see Harry visit the Hermoine's home at some point in time since, as a powerful muggle-born witch, Draco and perhaps Lucius would find her threatening (thereby making her family vulnerable.)

Though, I'm not sure how the plot would necessarily work it's way down that road since, well, Voldemort would first need to become aware of Hermoine's background and power. As of now, he's focussed only on Harry and making references to his muggle born mother.

But, yes, Turambar's suggestion validates for me that Harry will see Hermoine's home. As I had tried to imply, perhaps they won't be staying over per se, but a group of them (Harry, Ron, and Ginny) would probably spend a good amount of time there.

I can't see Ron going to the Granger's home without Arthur wishing he could come too, you know how he loves everything muggle! [lol]
Maybe he will volunteer to escort them. It would be safer then too.

I hope we do get to see more of Hermione's parents. I think it would be intresting to see more of how two dentists react to the wizard world. I agree with pasalita, Hermione seems like too important of a character to just brush off her parents for the rest of the books. If it wasn't for the saftey questions, a multi-family vacation would be a fun storyline.

Barbara Kennedy
May 14th, 2003, 3:19 am
We may get to see more of Hermione's parents. They may have to take shelter in the wizarding community to be safe from Voldemort at some point in the next books. Or they may need to be rescued.

No way...I doubt that theory. It is merely possible with low probabilities. If Harry would live with Hermione's family, it might be one of the horrible summers Harry ever had. (Cuz, you guys know, Hermione's endless passion(?) of working in progress (?) would make Harry freak out.--; (I am just guessing--;)

Girl
May 14th, 2003, 7:24 pm
I don't think that Harry will spend time at Hermione's house. One reason is that there is no point story wise for him to do so. What will he do there? Both Hermione's parents are muggles so their home is just like a normal house. Unlike when Harry goes to the Weasley's. When Harry is at the Weasley's it has something to do with the plot. In CoS he was saved by Fred, Gorge and Ron. In GoF he went to see the Quiddith World Cup. If he went to Hermione's what will he do?

Horntail
May 14th, 2003, 7:52 pm
True, a Harry staying over at Hermione's story line might be kinda boring. It would be more intresting to see another wizard visit (Ron?). Especially to see how they deal with the Muggle world.

AvidSkyRise
May 14th, 2003, 7:56 pm
I agre w/ horntail that it would be kind of funny to see a wiazards view of a normal muggle house, maybe Harry and Ron can both go visit Hermione over the holidays or something, it could prove to be interesting...although I agree that Hary being there alone would be quite boring since he is used to muggle life. I really don't see this happening quite soon however

Filius Flitwick
May 14th, 2003, 8:01 pm
Well, is he really used to a Muggle life? The only homes he's really been in are the Dursley's and Mrs. Figg's. I'm sure he has been in other ones, but probably never spent any great amount of time there. I actually think it would be funny to see Hermione's world.

Raven
June 4th, 2003, 4:37 am
What do you think is goign to happen IN THE MAGICAL WORLD between the time that Harry goes back to the Dursleys, and the time that school starts back.
My best guess is that there will be some more muggle torturing, and people disappearing.

I heart Sirius
June 4th, 2003, 5:00 am
Eh I don't think *too* much will happen cause I don't think Voldie is making his big redebut yet. Just the beginning of the rift between those who believe he's back and those who don't.

The topic Will Harry stay at Hermione's (http://www.cosforums.com/a/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8225) has a lot of what will Harry do in the summer discussion. :) A merging perhaps?

Jinxie Cat
June 4th, 2003, 6:30 am
I think in the magical world:
*The Weasley's will worry about Harry and try and get him to come over for the summer
*The 'old crowd' as Dumbledore put it, will be getting together
*The rest of the Ministry of Magic will be told of Voldemort's return
*Parents and others in the magical world will be told of Voldemort's return
*Voldemort will be seeing some more Deatheater's and start preparing his evil plans
*Mrs. Figg will probably be heard from
These are just what I think might happen. :)

Bjornar
June 4th, 2003, 6:45 am
Perhaps Harry will complain about being at the Dursleys (did he forget, or just doesn't know, that there is magic protecting him there?)

I think not much will be heard from the magical world, at least officially through the Ministry, because Fudge will be attempting to quell rumors of Voldemort's possible return. The students of Hogwarts know it, but the paper and official stance of the Ministry will be that all is well.

Maybe Harry will get a part time job, or perhaps he will hear good news from his godfather.

What I see happening is a major rift forming in the Wizarding World. A separation between those who accept the truth of Voldemort's return and those who choose to live under the blinding veil that is the Ministry. Also, I don't believe that Karkaroff will survive the summer. He may very well be killed off before the end of the summer...a la Bertha Jorkins.

Goldie
June 4th, 2003, 11:02 am
I doubt anything really dramatic will begin over the summer, if for no other reason than nothing really dramatic kicks in until Halloween in the books. OotP will probably center on Voldemort regaining strength and people choosing sides.

If we're lucky, we'll find out what Harry was doing in that flower bed. Personally, I hope he was burying Dudley.

kaioticgirl
June 4th, 2003, 11:18 am
I think that something dramatic will happen over the summer, but it won't seem important until the end of the book.

I'm trying to figure out a theory, though-In books 1 and 3, Harry escaped from the Dursley's...In books 2 and 4, he stayed at the Weasleys...a pattern, or just coincidence??

(And I know he escaped from the Dursley's in book 2, but that seems different to me- I dunno why)

dumbleedore
June 4th, 2003, 11:41 am
I think that over the summer Voldemort will be just concentrating on, figuritvly speaking, building bridges. He doesn't want to make the same mistakes as last time. He wants to get allies before he makes a move, which will come in about chapter 28/29.

Threeofcoins
June 4th, 2003, 12:02 pm
I am interested in how Harry relates to the Dursleys this summer. He is 15 now and it will be awfully hard for them to keep him locked up. Also Dudley won't be able to bully him as easily. How will they handle a more mature Harry. Will they start to fear his powers? Especially after the blowing up of Aunt Marge and the Ton Tongue Toffee incident!

Okay, this really made me laugh.

I think that there is a trend in the books of Harry becoming more able to stand up against the Dursleys. First, the way he "escapes" each time becomes less dramatic as far as who rescues him. First is a giant, then a flying car, etc. Also, he seems more able to "threaten" them into treating him better. First, was his threatenign ti use magic and then dropping that his godfather is an escaped murderer.

I wonder if the bed of flowers is actually at the Dursley's house? Lying in a bed of flowers conjures up images of being out in the country.

Also, I think that Voldie will not appear immediately, but will spend time gaining power physically and politically.

Doggy
June 4th, 2003, 2:22 pm
Well we'll obviously have Mr. "I'm a big jerk" Fudge telling the whole wizarding world not to panic, that it was all a big mistake, which will just help Voldemort until he has gathered enough strength to go to attack.

Meanwhile the Order of the Phoenix (which probably isn't what we think it is) and Dumbledore&co will try to do everything to take away Voldemort.

Pucko
June 4th, 2003, 2:25 pm
i think there will be a rift between the people who believe he is back and the people who don't (probably a majority)
i think violemort will gather some more followers (old death eaters) and he might get around to killing some of the ones that have abandoned him

Thyme_of_Change
June 4th, 2003, 2:39 pm
I think Harry will start to think about the Arabella Figg link!

jerb
June 4th, 2003, 3:01 pm
There is definately a rift between those who think Voldermort is back and those who don't. The people who don't think he is back is going to allow him to do small things to prepare for making his official reappearance. The-he's-not-back-people will do anything to deny he is back. I seriously believe his only target and goal is to get Harry.

Harry will stand up more to the Dursley's. I hope he makes a connection between Mrs. Figg and Arabella Figg. And he should go ask her some questions. Some one needs to tell that boy that questioning is never bad, its always good in fact.

Siriusthx1138
June 4th, 2003, 4:03 pm
I think Harry will draw a connection between Arabella and Mrs. Figg. He's a smart kid, he will at least ask her what her first name is. I'm guessing that the Dursley's will send him there again, Mrs. Figg will probably figure he's a little old for a babysitter and spill some info, but just enough to keep him in the dark and thinking about it.

I think something about his parents will come about while he's at the Dursley's. I can't help but think there is a tie in with the "old crowd" and James and Lily. They are going to be used to take Voldie down. I've thought about this ever since Voldie said "We could bring them back you know?" to Harry in SS. I wonder if your magical powers can be tapped into when you have moved on to the after life? Probably already been dicussed somewhere.

I think Harry will end up at Hermione's over the summer, just for the strict fact that we haven't seen anything from her family/personal life. Well little bits and pieces, but Harry hasn't seen first hand and she is his best friend.

Silk E Smooth
June 4th, 2003, 6:42 pm
I have a feeling it will be a quiet summer. Voldie and the Death Eaters are probably using the time to plot. The Minister isn't taking his return seriously so you know Lucius will still have his job as well as the others. I think Hagrid will reach the giants first and get them on his side. But in bringing them back to the county and out of the mountains, Hagrid will be seen negatively. I don't know. I don't expect anything will be happening until Harry gets back to the magical world.

black&potter
June 4th, 2003, 7:40 pm
Well, well, well, First of all i think the Flower bed will be at the Dursley's . What happens imediately i dont know. As for the Figgs , I really hope Harry thinks about it and questions at least Mrs.Figg I really dont think Voldemort will imediately start attacking people I see him re-organizing his rebuilt circle of Death Eaters planting new spys , and over-all evaluating the situation in hand befor making any move Voldemort may be evil , but he isnt stupid.

I do think it would be really neat for Harry to go stay with Hermione , but i dont see it happening not yet anyway, I believe he will end up with the weasleys again . Remember at the end of GoF Molly asked Dumbledore if Harry could come and stay with them for the summer but , Dumbledore found it best for him to go back to the Dursley's.
Although i dont think he will be at the Dursley's more than maybe 2 weeks or less.

I do to. Privet drive is mentioned in the snippet so it seems logicalo. I think that he is hiding out in the flower garden. Flowers would stand up taller than the surrounding grass and be better cameflouge.

The last chapter of GOF begins saying that even when he thought back on things a month later (not the exact phrase but close enough for my purposes) Harry had little memory of the last few days of the term. (the last task was June 24th add 1 month and it should be right before Harry's birthday. I think that OotP picks up with him laying in that flower bed thinking back on those few days. Then something will happen. . probably a school owl dropping off his required list and Pig with an invite from the Weasleys.

Personally I see him spending time with Mrs. Figg she knew his parents he could learn so much about them through her and if were to learn that huge thing about the dursleys Harry kind of Has to be near them not off with the Weasleys OR Hermione

SusanC
June 4th, 2003, 9:06 pm
okay you guys are right it is Privet. I missed that portion. I don't think he we go to Hermiones though. He may not be protected there and Hermiones parents are not equipped to handle a magical emergency (at least I don't think.

SusanC
June 4th, 2003, 9:09 pm
Something I just thought of that you guys have mentioned. The house on Privet does not have to be the Dursleys. Do you think that this escape is to Mrs. Figg's. Do you think that maybe she is luring (so to speak) Harry to her house more and more in order to protect him? Maybe he'll get an owl from DD telling him to watch out for Mrs. Figg.

Maybe Harry's in the flowers because Dudums sat on him....

gred&forge4ever
June 5th, 2003, 3:13 am
I too think that it will be a quiet summer. Poor Harry deserves it. I think that he will go to the Weasleys, see Mrs. Figg and I think that we will see drastic changes in his relationship with the Dursleys(for the better). I think that some deatheater(not Voldie, because of Privet Drive's protection) will try to hurt Harry and Petunia will inadvertantly protect him whilst trying to protect Dudley. I don't think that he will visit Hermione, as he is not protected there.

I think Harry is just lying in the garden watching the clouds thinking about the events of the past summer. That's what I thought when I first read the line.

As to events within the wizarding world over the summer I think it will be pretty quiet. I'm hoping Siruis is the big bombshell in chapter two. He did say Harry would see him again. Imagine Uncle Vernon opening the front door to find Siruis standing there! lol

Secret World, you have a good point. I think that someone from the wizarding World will visit the Dursleys. I don't think it will be Sirius, although that would be too funny. I think it will be someone to explain the situation and the dangers that they may be facing. If there is string magic protecting Harry at the Dursley and the Dursley were eliminated that may cancel the protective magic. This would place Harry in a vulnerable position.

voldemort will not do that first he'll be palnning his attack very carefully before he perform it... the weasley's will get harry b'coz of dumbledore order in book 4 ron told harry that he should went to the dursley's first before them; mrs. figg is a witch and we will know lot of things about her in book 5, she's drinking a polyjuice potion to keep haer real identity...

The first thing Voldemort will do is find a hideout, safe from the watchful eye and hand of Dumbledore and his influence. After that, he'll start plotting- but making sure he's safe is probably priority 1. I'm guessing he may redo all the spells he did at one time to make himself immortal again-remember, his new body (at least, at this point in time) doesn't have all the same protections his old one did.

I think that Voldie would wait until Harry is back at Hogwarts, even tho he fears Dumbledor the most, he also knows the in's and out's of the school and we do not know if the Chamber of Secrets holds any other secrets....

I see it as a probability. Krum invited Hermione to hang with him for the summer and he likes her. I'm sure her parents wouldn't like that, considering that he is at least 3 maybe 4 years older than her and they don't know each other THAT well. But i would think she could invited her close friends. I think it would be a great way to develop the characters and i'm sure that JKR would have a great story behind it if that was her intention. (eg. world quidditch cup was reason to go to ron's) i'm also sure that the granger's are going to be well protected, seeing as hermione is harry's friend and a muggle born. with voldemort back i don't think anyone would look over that. same with the weasley's. the only thing i see stopping harry from going over there is that he wouldn't want to put the grangers in danger. even with protection, he may not be comfortable with that. i'm sure he'd never forgive himself if something did happen.

maybe they'll visit Hermione's house once because he has to save her from something.

Harry is going to spend a lot of time over the summer going over Cedric's death, how he feels about Cho, what Voldie's up to, where Sirius is and how he's doing, etc.

Plus, he's got to bury Dudley, and if he uses the flower bed they won't have to call in a florist.

I don't think that we will be Harry at the Grangers becasue of both the safety and the boy /girl issue.

It would be funny to see Ron in the Muggle world. Maybe he and Harry can go and visit Seamus. He is half and half, so I am guessing that he lives in the Muggle world, but his mom would be around to protect Harry.

I don't think that the boy/girl thing is a real issue for Hermione with Harry at the point because the deepness of their friendship. She trusts Harry and Harry trusts her. I think Harry would be a bit embarrassed to stay at Hermione's but he would overcome that. The parental figures would be the only issue, especially the Dursleys.
I also think that the friendship could develop into something more if Harry stayed at her house.......::love:
