Do you think this is the best?

From Wikipedia:
In the fictional Harry Potter series of novels and films, Fawkes is Albus Dumbledore’s pet phoenix. Fawkes is the antithesis of Lord Voldemort’s pet snake Nagini.
Fawkes is coloured red and gold, the traditional colours of Gryffindor House. This may or may not be a coincidence, and has spawned a number of rumours; Rowling has refuted speculation that Fawkes was Godric Gryffindor’s phoenix in an interview, professing that Fawkes was never owned by anyone except Dumbledore. Fawkes is an intensely magical creature, possessing a number of magical abilities, the precise extent of which are unknown. Phoenix tail feathers are suitable for inclusion in some wands; Fawkes himself provided the feathers for both Lord Voldemort’s and Harry Potter’s wands. Tame phoenixes are very rare and he serves as proof of Albus Dumbledore’s abilities and character. Fawkes is an herbivore. Whenever Fawkes dies, whether it be by violence or old age, he bursts into flame and is promptly reborn out of the ashes as a baby phoenix. As an adult he’s about swan-sized and quite beautiful, but infant stage Fawkes has the appearance of a newborn chicken and in his geriatric stages he has dull, limp plumage.

Nice one, Mister Boomy!
Yeah, i just voted for Phoenixes as best mythical creatures. Then i thought: Who’s the greatest Phoenix of all time. Fawkes is! I love whenever he turns up in the Harry Potter books. He’s so freakin cool.;)

He is so freakin cool! I hope he returns in some capacity in the 7th book.
Yes! Dumbledore will return in some form in book 7. JKR said so. I hope Fawkes somehow will Harry or something. Well, only 26 more days, and then we will find out.:D
Did she? I’m thinking he will be able to make his appearance via his painting in his (or should I say McGonagall’s) office. Fawkes should peck out Voldy’s eyes or eat Nagini or something. 26 days – eee! eee!
I think you’re right with Dumbledore. And i do also think it’s time for Fawkes to peck some more eyes. When he pecked the basilisks eyes, he must have gotten a taste for it.
Indeed. I should be sorry to have Fawkesy subjected to the presumably unpleasant taste of squishy eyeballs but he can always wash it down with some Butterbeer.
Yeah I suppose he can . I just don’t hope it’s as strong for him as it is for houseelves. I wouldn’t won’t a totally wasted Fawkes flying around and annoying Harry in book 7.
Baahaha! I think I would enjoy that. And he could develop the power of speech and be all disgruntled and say things like, “Don’t judge me! I’m grieving! I’m not an alcoholic! Get out of my trash can!”
And maybe he would get so drunk and depressed that he would kill himself. But then he would be all like: Damn! I can’t even kill myself. But of course that might help. It’s illegal to sell alcohol to minor phoenixes.
And it would all be really entertaining until we all went, “Hang on, wasn’t Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows meant to have some other characters in it? What was that kid’s name? Um, Harry, I think it was.” That would perhaps be the best possible anti-climax: ‘Harry Potter and the Trouble With Fawkes’.
Haha. You’re right.;)
