"Deathly" is a perfectly good word. It means "like or resembling death." "Deadly," on the other hand, means "causing death."

The same sort of mental disease that infects the Sci-Fi Channel. The kind that called John Edwards (The biggest Douche in the Universe) Sci Fi. The sort of idiots who call Freddy and Jason Sci Fi. Bugger em all.

Harry Potter is FANTASY people, not Sci Fi. If it has 'magic' and elves in it is NOT Sci Fi. Not that I won't be reading this final installment, I will. But it is a pet peeve, especially when the Sci-Fi Channel wastes such a large portion of their day running stuff that is NOT Sci-Fi.
