ok, now here's a question for you. Who's the next minister of magic? JKR has said that Fudge will be gone from the MoM in the next book, so the Minister position will be vacant.

me, I'm thinking Lucius Malfoy will be. I have no clue how (other than bribing people), but we all know how JKR likes to use historic references in her books. Turns out there was a pope named Pope Cornelius, whose reign was marked by controvercy over the persecution of the non-believers (sounds like JK flipped it from non believers to believers). When he was exiled and martyred, his successor was a Bishop by the name of Lucius.

any thoughts/dissagreements??

I'm thinking Percy Weasley.Makes more sense to me.I don't think Lucius is aiming for that job.

angeleyesjg24.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:06 pm (UTC)

Wishful thinking, but I would love it to be Arthur Weasley.

Or, oohhh...Lupin would be cool. But I know that neither of these options is really realistic.

I wish I could say that I have an educated guess, but I really cannot think of anyone.

I'm almost positive the next Minister is going to be Lucius, and I'm absolutely positive that he'll be thrown out of office very quickly and be replaced by Mr. Weasley. Why, you ask?

Ron: "We have just about as much chance of winning the Quidditch cup as Dad has of becoming minister of magic"

Who won the Quidditch cup? Gryffindor. Who will be the future minister of magic? Mr. Weasley

haha...my layout is Pride and Prejudice themed. I adore the book, and everything else by Jane Austen, for that matter. =)

Cool layout by the way.

exactly what i've been thinking.
i'm seriously convinced that ron does have very strong prophetic powers, like trelawny said. he keeps saying these things that turn out to be true...
anyway.
another reason i believe arthur is going to be minister of magic is just because of his name. arthur. as in, king arthur. as in, the famous king that makes all of england unite...

-nod- good point. SO maybe Lucius will be Minister in the 6th, but get overthrown in favor of Arthur in the 7th.

This is a theory that I got out of a Harry Potter fan book.

Whenever Ron jokes about something, it's true. Whenever he's serious about something, he's wrong. Whenever Hermione is serious about something, it's true. Whenever she's joking about something, she's wrong.

If you go back through the books and look, there are about 3489320984 examples of this. It's amazing.

I had never even thought of the King Arthur thing! *ponders*

Wow. You'd better be right, because that would be awesome. ^_^

I <3 Mr. Weasley so much. And that is a *great* thing to back it up with. Very JKR-ish.

OMFG your icon hahaha.

God if Umbridge gets the job I will CRUCIO MYSELF.

Hell, why stop at Crucio? I'd full out Avada Kedavra myself!!

I don't know about all that...I think it would be really funny at some points.
Just imagin some of the greatest Death Eaters or even Voldemort having to sit at a desk and write lines.

jupluna.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:46 pm (UTC)

I love your icon by the way.

And that brings up another important question...CAN you use an unforgivable on yourself?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

etherealshores.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:53 pm (UTC)

Quidditch men=HOT.
Thanks =)
Good question..well..probably in extreme circumstances you could.I wouldn't want ot use a death curse on myself.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

jupluna.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 11:32 pm (UTC)

Hmm...I guess Crucio would be the only one you could really use then.
I mean...you can't exactly put yourself under a curse that makes you listen to yourself, although that might be a way for someone like say...Ron to make himself act less jealous, or Draco to make himself act like less of a pompous ass...though I think he'd end up saying "act MORE like a pompous ass." Still it would get quite confusing I think.

Hehehehe...

etherealshores.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 11:38 pm (UTC)

That's seriously be hilarious.

Or we could use one on Harry to make him chill out in OOTP.But then again if Umbridge was giving me detentions I'd go crazy too.

(Reply) (Parent) (Link)

flightsofwhimsy.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 08:50 am (UTC)

I'd love for Umbridge to go insane...like a permanent stay in St. Mungo's, wouldn't you?? And I'd like HER to write... I will not be the bride of Satan, I will not be the bride of Satan...1 million times! Just to show her!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is Arthur too....

tiffione.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:16 pm (UTC)

hmmm thats interesting but seeing as how he was thrown in azkaban and everyone knows he is a death eater, i don't see how he could be. i think arthur weasley will be minister....or maybe someone new that we havent heard of.

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

sacred-tide.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:32 pm (UTC)

Oh yeah. For some reason I'm stupid and keep forgetting that he was put in Azkaban.

lordclow.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:36 pm (UTC)

yeah...but even with him in Azkaban, i wouldn't underestimate Narcissa Malfoy (is that how you spell her first name?) and her potentially "charming" abilites that could lead to Lucius' freedom and pardon from Azkaban.

I just think their money will go a loooonog way.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

sacred-tide.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 10:39 pm (UTC)

Hrm. Yeah, true. Though I'm not sure their money goes quite *that* far.

And yeah, it's spelled that way :)

I'd love if it were Arther. But if it's Lucius or Umbridge, omg I'll be mad.

Arthur Weasley. Ron's jokes come true. :P

haha, i havent seen that video from your icon in a long time 'alaska can come too' funny.

i have to go with mr. weasley on this one--the things ron says do come true and its about time he get some recognition.

ainu-laire.livejournal.com on July 16th, 2004 11:55 pm (UTC)

It won't be Malfoy- remember the article of Harry's published in the Quibbler? He named all the Death Eaters. Then, it was published in the Daily Prophet at the end of the school year; and considering how Draco Malfoy was so harsh with Harry, you can assume that Lucius is out of the picture.

However, I am really hoping Arthur Weasly. Percy is too young, and he was too close to Fudge. Or it may be Kingsley, or another not-really-known/unknown.

gramercy.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 03:35 am (UTC)

I disagree... I think it is still possible for it to be Malfoy. He's very well connected. I think it all depends on how you pick a new MOM. If they're voted in by popular vote, then I agree that it couldn't be Lucius. If they're appointed... well, I think Malfoy is slippery enough to land the job.

(Reply) (Parent) (Link)

sashwizzled.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 03:00 am (UTC)

I imagine people will want Dumbledore... but then, I can't imagine him agreeing.

Probably a new character - both Arthur and Percy Weasely are a little bit too low in the pecking order to be up for the job.
And if Malfoy's been named as a Death Eater... Even if the claim isn't officially taken seriously - and I doubt it will be - people will believe what they want. I don't think Lucius Malfoy will get the job.

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

flightsofwhimsy.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 08:52 am (UTC)

Oh yeah...Dumbledore's been asked before, and he refused. I think he realizes that the Ministry's really shaky. They're also a herd of sheep. They KNEW that Voldemort was back and wasted all that time just because they were scared. I personally wouldn't want to lead such a place.

(Reply) (Parent) (Link)

gramercy.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 03:38 am (UTC)

I think Percy will at sometime... In CoS (the book JKR says leaves the most clues for HBP) Ron makes an offhand comment about Percy wanting to be the Minister of Magic, or becoming it or SOMETHING.

I don't think Percy is quite there YET though. We'll see. The new minister might not come at the beginning of the book, so maybe he'l prove an exceptionally big prat and end up with the job somehow.

doortje.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 04:29 am (UTC)

if not Lucius Malfoy, how about Narcissa Malfoy?

starspecter.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 06:44 am (UTC)

I'd haul ass outta wizard land so quickly if a Malfoy was ever Minister of Magic. Wow, that would be scary.

I'm hoping it's Arthur. He would be so good!

clouditall.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 07:20 am (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I don't think Lucius could.. now that he's been revealed as a Death Eater?

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

haunt-yer-ghost.livejournal.com on July 17th, 2004 05:11 pm (UTC)

Yea, that's exactly what I thought. I honestly don't know..maybe some new person or someone she just hasn't introduced yet will get it..cause none of the rest seem qualified or likely.
