the 1st task in gof

[Athena Appleton]

yeah, I mean, we don't know how long dragons take to reach their full growth, but we know that in a matter of weeks, Norbert grew from a tiny baby dragon to a pretty huge dragon... so I would imagine after five years, he'd be full-grown, or close to it.

[Alice I]

It would be wierd! But it´s a possiblility that we might see Norbert again, although Grawp is a more pressing matter, I wonder what happened to him in the end...

I'll bet we see him in the next book and he will be able to speak rudimentary english. I think that Gwarp will lead a few of the remaining giants to the side of the wizards.

[Athena Appleton]

but the giants were wanting to kill grawp, cuz he was so "small"...

[Alice I]

True enough; but things change with time. If a new Gurg shows up and is symopathetic to the wizards Gwarp could be useful.
I just don't think that JKR is done with him yet.

[Athena Appleton]

oh i don't either... just don't think Grawp will be rallying the giants... *shrug* If Hagrid and Maxime couldn't do it, I don't think Grawp will... after all, he's "on'y a baby"

But I do think he'll have a bigger role...

[Nobby]

jk has said that we will see grawp in the next book at that he is a little more controllable - so who knows!

As for Norbert coming back that would be cool! But surely he would be uncontrollable

[Evil Wizard Petting Zoo]

Yeah, I don't think we're done with Grawp.

Also, I think Hagrid will have a lot of influence in the Forbidden Forest next book, like befriending the centaurs somehow (that would be a miracle!) and leading the good creatures in the forest against Voldemort.

[Nobby]

we will definately see grawp again! jk said in her world book day talk!

[Amon Rê]

Referring to either the Hungarian Horntail or the Common Green either one of these could have been chosen at the odd moment because remember the Dragon's HAD to have a nest in order to protect, either of those theories could have worked, but it would depend on breeding time, you know the hemispheres and what not Just thought I'd throw that in???

[Athena Appleton]

too smart for me...

umm, you do realize, don't you, that we're discussing the mating rituals of imaginary animals?

[Ferrus]

umm, you do realize, don't you, that we're discussing the mating rituals of imaginary animals?

Of course we are! But then: Do you realise the numbers of hours you spend typing about theories that only affect a totally imaginary world?

And back to the breeding rituals: I think that Amon has made an excellent point, the numbers of readily available nesting mother dragons cant be very large at any moment...
