Harry Potter "The Order of the Pheonix" *SPOILERS*

[slleipnir]

ok I have a question about this, but it will spoil the ending of the book/movie if you haven't already read/seen it. So I sugest not reading further if you don't want to know
















Ok, so at the ending of the book when Harry is fighting with the death eatters and the order shows up. Sirius is knocking into that arch thing. I've read the book and seen the movie but I still don't understand what that is. Why does it kill them?

I'm not sure, but I understood it as if that arch bow was meant to be the gate to the "other world", to death. But it was never really explained in the book, or in the movie, as far as I remember. Besides, he was struck by the Avada Kedavra curse before, so I guess he would have died anyway...

BTW, I saw the movie yesterday.

I wasn't very sure of that either, but I thought when the prophecy(the glass ball thingy) broke that was what came out, or I thought Voldemort created it. Either way he would have died anyway, since the lady used a killing curse on him. I was a little confused on that to, but overall I thought the movie was brilliant. Definately one of my all time favorite movies.

No, it wasn't created by Voldemort, nor did it appear when the prophecy broke. In the book, they entered the room with the arch before the reached the Hall of Prophecies. Later, during the battle, they came back and lost Sirius. I think that arch was always there, it's a mystery as everything in the Mystery Department.

I have no idea, but the movie was wonderful .

[slleipnir]

I found the movie changed a lot of things...I guess they had to but it didn't always make sense. I think I missed the part in the book where he was hit by the spell (or I just didn't remember)

[Roxyluvsme13]

I still think the books are better than the movies.
