Quote of the day: "102.1 Harmison to Ponting, no run, wide and Ponting has to stretch to reach it. "Harmison couldn't hit an elephant from 20 paces?" was Jeff Thomson's assessment earlier. Guess it depends on the size of the elephant." - baggygreen.com

Today's short odds: Harry Potter suicide 6-1 down from 10-1

London: In a strange spate of affairs, J K Rowling's publishes has proven punters will bet on anything by taking bets on which wizard shall claim Harry Potter's illustrious scalp in the final novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Harrows.

In a stranger set of affairs, the quickest odds to fall are on Harry Potter killing himself, dropping from 10-1 to 6-1 in a matter of days. Lord Voldemort is the red hot favourite at 4-5.

"I'm glad to be rated so well, after all I've spent the better part of 6 years attempting to kill Potter, finally my uppance shall come," A jubilant Voldemort said after hearing of his favouritism in the TAB.


Many are quick to dispute the basis for such favouritism, "He's failed once, had good clean opportunities and fails continually! Why on earth would things change now."

Meanwhile, the odds off a disturbed generation traumatised at the number of graphic deaths in a childrens novel have yet to be formulated. However pundits believe they'll be significantly shorter than the odds of children converting to wica or satanism due to the overt use of magic as predicated by the Catholic church.

Harry Potter is distraught at the rumours of his depression and possible suicide, "Look I know I've been getting broody recently, but hey my folks are dead, I've been given the cold shoulder by girls for years and everybody seems to think I'm some renegade maverick."

When confronted with his recent renegade behaviours and constant disrespect for the rules Potter appeared increasingly uncomfortable, "Stop it. I've had enough of this, I just wish I could make it all stop."

TAB has released new options for betting including how Potter will kill himself. 'Over-inflated belief about a moderate at best acting ability' is current favourite at 4-1 leading 'yelling out I love Katie Holmes on Oprah at 13-2'.

Suicide would suck fr the movies.

A sacrifice for good probably... naturally harry will end up wtih his parents in heaven (or hell if you're reading flanders version) and they'll all (un)live happily ever after...

Perhaps he'll suffocate himself with his invisibility cloak... or impale himself with his wand...

Does he have to die young (?) What's the odds on him escaping to an Island in Greece and living the life of a hermit... to be revisited in about 30 years time for endless remakes of "what really happened..." the ultimate Francise for Rowling and her future progency...

Imagine in 2060...

HARRY POTTER and the HOVER BOARD OF FIRE!
or HARRY POTTER meets MARVIN the PARANOID ANDRIOD...

*l-ing ol*

Okay, not that imaginative... but I'm sure by 2060 someone can think of something better...especially as the Catholic church may be long gone and with it all it's fairy tales and perversions ... as the burnt 'witches' rise from the history pages of Homeopathic Natural Medicine from whence they were thrown...

Hmmm, Harry Potter and the Psychopathic Homeopath of Hogsmead...

*giggle*

Loved the post Stu...

Love the reply as well.

Personally I have one thing that I respect in the Harry Potter series. They chose a time to get out.

That being said after 6 sequels you'd better get out soon anyway.

As for going to Greece I'd say the odds would be close to 200-1, especially has those unusual laws regarding electronic entertainment, so I don't think they'd take too kindly to magic

hmmm, good point... 200-1, not bad, I'll put a buck on 'change'... you never know, I might end up rich yet *lol*...
