bookish_dragonI finished the book. Neville is a bloody hero. I don't care what other people say of him, he is to me. He held up very well under Hogwarts' new regime, and when it was under attack. I felt so proud when it came out that his gran thought the same way.
Lupin and Tonks are dead. How can that have happened? They were not supposed to die, they've got a kid needs looking after. They can't have died. And think of Tonks's mother. Lost her husband, and her daughter. And her son-in-law, but she wasn't too happy about that marriage.
Neither can Hedwig have died. Or Dobby. Poor Dobby.
*is in state of denial.*
Mrs Weasley kicked arse when she was fighting Bellatrix. Never come between her and her children.
Fred is dead too. He wasn't supposed to die either. He and George were supposed to futther confuse people. Not that that would be too hard, what with George missing his bleeding ear.
The shame of it al, using Mad-Eye's eye as a telescope! I hope Umbridge gets her arse kicked for that. Such travesty.
My heart sank when Ron left Harry and Hermione. *Denial is not just a river in Egypt, you know.* I was like, "Nooo! You can't break the Trio like that. You are needed! Come back!"
It took him far too long to get back. But he did, in the end.
I cried when Harry used the stone and saw his parents, and the rest of the Marauders. Not even in the graveyard had he been this close to them.
It's weird, in a way, that, like Harry, I had to adjust to who Dumbledore really was. I must admit that I saw him as half a saint. But he was more manipulative than I was willing to admit. Then again, half of it was told by Skeeter, a person I wouldn't belive if she told me the sky was blue.
Finally! It took them three books, but they finally admitted what they felt for each other. Though it might not have been neither time or place, in some other way it fit. Who knew when they would hav the chance, way things were going?
"Are you a wizard, or not?" I admit, I giggled like mad at that line.
I felt sorry for Luna, when we found out that she had those paintings on the ceiling of her room. She never really had much by way of friends, did she? And her father, willing to betray others to get her back. I hope he survived.
Had it been mentioned previously, that Snape lived near the Evans' house? I mean, I liked the way we saw how Petunia came to hate wizards so much, but it seemed to drop right out of thin air. Speaking of the Dursleys...that Dudley came close to thanking Harry...that was quite something.
"They'll be happy. You see, in that life, they have no daughter." No matter the theories on whether Hermione liked her parents or not...that must have hurt. To erase yourself out of their lives and memories like that.
So Snape was good all this time, for Lily. That says so much about him. In contrast to what may have been thought, he could and did love. But on the obsessive side, I will say. But he did love her. And never stopped. And it gave him the strength to keep on lying to Voldemort.
Oh, all the pain and misery when Voldemort had taken control of the MoM. The Blood Status, and the wanton killing of Muggles.
The end, the epilogue, I wasn't too happy with. It seemed a bit too neat. Too "Look, everything is all right, and everybody is happy". A bit too much like a fairy-tale. "And they all lived happily ever after."
Damn you Rowling. You made me wibble and cry and ended this series and I don't know what to say anymore.
