	Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Book Blooper : Speaking of Nearly Headless Nick
		Well, Nearly Headless Nick could have reached his RIGHT hand over his head and pulled his LEFT ear up towards the right, so his neck would be severed on the left.
		Well, the only way you could tell he was nearly headless in the picture is if the artists put him being headless by his neck.
		I'm pretty sure that when JK described Nearly Headless Nick pulling his left ear, she meant that he was pulling his left ear with her LEFT hand and that he was pulling DOWN and not up.

	Nasubionna's Harry Potter Tribute
		His unfortunate death, some 500 years ago, is unpleasant enough (whacked in the neck approximately 45 times with a blunt ax), and his unhappiness seems to continue to some extent in his post-life state.
		His lack of proper decapitation prevents him from joining the illustrious Headless Hunt, and he is obviously quite sore about the rejection.
		Resignedly, Nick explained that the chances of Sirius returning as a ghost were slim, as one has to give up the right to the afterlife to wander as a ghost, and that Nick himself made that decision out of fear of death.

		Both the regular Deatheater and the Nearly Headless Nick are regular releases, and the runs were 1500 each. Lucius Malfoy in his Deatheater garb was an SDCC only exclusive, and as such they only made 500 of him.
		Nearly Headless Nick looks almost exactly like the Cleese character. It’s not quite as perfect as either the Snape or Dumbledore, but it’s damn close. The face is a little flat to be perfect, and that may actually be an issue of the mold, not the original sculpt.
		Nick is in a classic pose, exposing his neck to you, just so you know why his name is Nearly Headless, instead of just Headless. His expression also implies that he’s none to happy about it, and would have been much happier had they finished the job cleanly.

		It was at this identical spot that the headless horseman was feared to have been killed.
		Neville, whose fears increased with the delay, jerked the reins on the other side, and kicked lustily with his foot: it was all in vain; the old animal started, but it was only to plunge to the opposite side of the road into a thicket of brambles and alder-bushes.
		With a yell of frustration, Nick put his hand on his head and swung it to the side, where it was only connected by an inch of skin and sinew.

		Nick sadly explains that he doesn’t know because he had been afraid to die and so chose not to complete the journey but stayed in the quasi-world of ghosts.
		I have a feeling Nick may have to come to terms with is own inner fears and make a decision that could affect where his soul will eventually and eternally reside.
		With the coming battles against the forces of darkness he may face terrible ordeals even for a ghost.

		Nick seems to suffer from being only nearly headless.
		Maybe the trio will have to find Nicks grave and complete in what the hangman failed so that Nick can join the hunt of the headless and get them to join a future coalition against Voldie.
