Done.
I was very, very happy with this one. Erica's explanation of the book helped. I was about to agree with her barista until I read on. I think Rowling did want us to feel it. No doubt about it.
I was glad to read the chapter about Snape. Wonderful. I knew he was good. I just knew it.
Poor Fred.
In a way, I'm glad she killed off Hedwig. Now kids won't want owls as pets. the lesson being, don't buy owls... they explode.
So Harry sort of died. Okay, whatever. I'm just glad that the main three weren't killed.
I liked the way that saving Draco helped Harry save himself in the end. Had he finished him off, Mrs. Malfoy may have given it away that he was still alive.
Mrs. Weasley rocks. I can't wait to see that scene in the film.
I also can't wait to see Helena Bonham Carter as Hermionie sneaking into the bank. She could pull that off.
I wanted Umbridge to explode or something. Evil character...
I'm glad Neville didn't die. Grandma rocked, too.
I liked the Epilogue.
All in all, I'm happy with the last book and with the series as a whole. No idea what Harry's doing on the cover of the book. Anyone have any ideas? Where's he looking? Is this as Voldie is hit by his own spell?
This is the fastest that I have read any book. I read all day Sat and Sun. Outside of doing some shopping and laundry and planting cactus, I did nothing else this weekend but Harry Pottering.
The midnight line at Barnes and Noble in Burbank was maddening. I'll discuss it more when I have time to write more.
Long Live Harry Potter!
