DID NOT READ IT!! :S. Could you tell me the second chapter???? :P. First chapter was AWESOME!!!

Those people asking for her to cover every minor mystery left in the series are asking for a very boring book. She actually filled in more gaps in the books than I ever expected. Minor details are why she answers questions on websites like this. Like those who keep asking about James and Lily's jobs should just check the info on this site. James inherited alot of money from his parents about the time he left school, enough that they never needed to work from the time they left school until they died. Those that want details on what everybody did later in life note there were 50 unnamed casualties in the battle at Hogwarts. She only named a few and depressed alot of people. There would be a lot of familiar and beloved names on that list. Hogwarts students and teachers, DA members, Order members and so on. I get the impression that just killing off those like Fred and Lupin bothered her quite enough.

Ok, now I don't want to start a huge name-calling thing again like we did on the other topic-thing, but I was thoroughly disappointed by the ending of this book. I just think that the story was very weak, and not quite up to JK's standards or style of writing. the horcrux hunt went way too smooth. It's ridiculous that Dumbledore has been working for like 10 years on finding ONE horcrux (the ring) and yet Harry was able to find, not only the weapons to get the job done, but actually destroy 3 in a matter of what, 2 months? takl about unrealistic. also the ending was just too happy for a series that has been so dark up to this point. also, i think that it was totally pointless to bring the Deathly Hallows into the story at this point with absolutely no indication or foreshadowing of them in previous books. and for all those people who said that we would've complained more if the Deathly Hallows had been cut out, you're wrong. Because maybe if she hadn't inserted that clearly irrelevant part of the story, she might've been able to put in something that could've been interesting and relevant to the story, like oh say i dont know...THE VEIL? or at least spent a little more time focusing on the horcruxes as opposed to irrelevant story plots that are, truthfully, boring. i was also extremely upset at the fact that the veil played no part at all in the book. i was sure that something would've happened involving it, and i feel like it definitely should have. honestly, i didnt want harry to die, but the ending was definitely much too fairy tale-esque for a story that has been centered around significant, usually sacrificial deaths for good causes. and as for snapes death...it was just completely irrelevant and quite honestly made no sense at all. obviously, draco would have had no choice but to tell LV exactly what happened with dumbledore, so he wouldve known that draco disarmed him long before snape killed him, so voldemort, being the intelligent (yet evil) man he is should...

Posted by olytig33 Jul 23rd 2007

i really liked the book, loved the plot twists, but i wasn't happy with the epilogue, it left a lot of things unanswered. i would have liked to know more about what happened to the trio after hogwarts, what their jobs were, if harry became an auror, and stuff like that. it was cool to find out about his children but i was expecting a bit more. i would have also liked to know what happened to other main characters as well, like what george did after his brothers death, if he continued with his joke shop, and there was nothing about what became of Luna. so that really dissapointing. hope she puts out a book explaining all of those little details that alot of us wanted to know.


Posted by DracoisGOD Jul 23rd 2007

Epilogue sucked... I would've rather her not include it. Otherwise it was amazing. I cried so hard I was shaking and my chest hurt with grief, especially after Snape and (for some wierd reason) Dobby died. And I think maybe the person to do magic later in life was either Dumbeldore's sister or maybe (far-fetched) his brother? I don't really know...hopefully JK will tell us.


Posted by threecheersforHP Jul 23rd 2007

Personally, I don't believe that the American cover was misleading at all. They were in the Great Hall, where the ceiling exactly mimicks the sky. The Elder Wand had just flown out of Voldemort's hand, so that would explain why both he and Harry were reaching towards what was believed to be the sky. Everyone around them was watching, which explains the "shadows" of people in the background of the cover, and the Great Hall was all messed up because of the battles. You could still see small details like the pouch around Harry's neck, or his green eyes (more visable on the computer, though), and Voldemort's long, gray fingers and Harry's short, normal ones. But yeah, I loved the book, it was great and kept me sobbing, which I always like in books:].


Posted by grifal Jul 23rd 2007

i think its the best book i did read ever. i can live with the epilog BUT i thought it could be better SO how about a petition asking miss rowling to write a better epilog. little more pages to.. lets say.. around a book or 7? Frank


Posted by staylor Jul 23rd 2007

Love, love, LOVED the book! I met and exceeded my hugely overblown expectations. I got quite a few things right, but was surprised about enough things (and there were enough new elements) to keep me hooked on every word, and very pleased with the storyline. My first cry was with Hedwig, but really my heart was on my sleeve from the very first word; because really, the whole book felt like saying goodbye, didn't it? Right from the get-go. I let myself go and physically immersed myself in the story, and as a result, felt every emotion written into it. I cried quite a bit (which is unusual for me under other circumstances). After reading chapter four, I had to stop for a minute, and remarked that if the tension level was going to be like that through the whole book, I didn't think that I could handle it!! But moving on... About the cover--I agree with everyone who is commenting about the inaccuracy of it. But I feel that I should add that I suspect that GrandPre was being deliberately vague to the point of misleading (perhaps at Jo's behest), because they were trying to keep so much under wraps. If that's not part of it, then as an artist, I really can't understand why she chose to portray the scene that way!! So the cover, and yes- the epiliogue were the closest things to disappointments for me. I don't generally like epiliogues anyway, so the fact that I didn't care for this one doesn't actually bother me that much. It seems as though it was written deliberately campy, as far as the number of years later it was, the number of kids, and the happily-ever-after feel to it. I think it was written specifically for the fans (to give them SOMETHING as an after-story), and also to prevent anyone from writing a follow-up, and it's for that reason that I'm glad that she included it. The last thing any of us wants is to see some second-rate author chopping up JKR's world!!


Posted by IMissHarry Jul 23rd 2007

*sigh* It's hard to believe that after growing up with Harry and the gang that it's finally over. When I closed the book, I felt like I was losing a friend. J.K. really has a way with her words, no? I'm putting in my top 5 books I've ever read, I liked it so...I personally thought the whole thing, even the epilogue, was very well written, and very real to itself. Much more adult and stuff, but then the kids are 18, or most of them anyway. Suggestion about the supposed non-magic character who did magic later on in life, Ariana Dumbledore? They all thought she was a squib, but she do magic under extreme stress and stuff right? Sorry if someone's already said this. But I'm still confused as to why Sirius had to die. That's about all I think. ~MoE~


Posted by wougal07 Jul 23rd 2007

this was an amazing book.... I really agree it's the best so far! I honestly was not dissapointed with the epilogue.. .cause i agree that there will be something that will come out eventually about the other characters, etc. I was very happy with the book, and all the the hermione/harry shippers can finally shut up and see the truth that it has always been harry/ginny and it will always be! i'm so sad the series ended, but it was a perfect ending!


Posted by Arithmancer Jul 23rd 2007

Book Seven was amazing. It was stunning. I absolutely loved it--it was different from any of the other books but that's what made it so special. I thought the Dumbledore and Deathly Hallows backstory was elegantly crafted and the middle of the book flowed especially well. The only parts I found weak were the epilogue (particularly the final sentence), the flow of the final action scene, and the chapter "King's Cross" (which was basically information-dumping). But...overall Book Seven was my favorite of the series and a fantasic read.


Posted by CharlieLaz Jul 23rd 2007

JK LIED!!!!!!!! Harry Potter did not marry Lisa Simpson!!!!!!!!


Posted by Manda1Panda Jul 23rd 2007

I thought this book was like all the others. . . AMAZING!!! The epilogue, I don't think, was really an epilogue, but more like a Harry Potter and the gang is still alive and kicking, and Harry didn't go crazy. Hogwarts is still open and there is peace in the world. Whatever. JKR needs to write more books. . . She, I think, should do like some other people do and keep with the same world but write about a different person in that world. . . That would be cool.


Posted by kuramagirl119 Jul 23rd 2007

It was absolutely AMAZING. Great action and emotion but i wish there was less deaths and other characters were more involved in the plot. I think the most emotional parts were Snapesa and Dumbledore's past and I thought it was interesting that all the most influential characters in the book- Snape, Dumbledore, Harry and even Voldemort were all half-bloods which shows that there is a best-and worst in both worlds! :) ***** Perfect way to end the series


Posted by rocs22 Jul 23rd 2007

I still want to know more!!!! I honestly don't think the epilouge left many happy, I want to know what Harry is doing along with the rest of the trio. And what is up with Luna??? I know she married Neville and such but she should start writing either another book series about before all of this happened or she should write an encyclopedia. I CANNOT BELIEVE ITS OVER!!!! THANK YOU J.K. ROWLING!!!!


Posted by Unregistered_Animagus Jul 23rd 2007

When some of the pairs were late to show up to the Burrow, I was crying like a baby... and then Fred and George's antics made me laugh aloud - and it was like that throughout the entire book. One moment you're on the edge of your seat, worrying about someone's safety, then the next thing you know something hilarious happens. Norbert was a girl! Ha! But I think Fred's death threw me the most. I was still cracking up from his and Percy's banter, when all of a sudden - it was just all over. No more Weasley twins, no more apparating for the fun of it, no more of that witty humor, just a devastated George with a missing ear... it was completely terrible, but at the same time it needed to happen, to sort of kick everyone into reality. The book, emotional roller-coaster and all, was completely satisfying to me; I don't really think a lot of the things people are saying Jo missed are actually necessary. I had my fill, and now that it's over all I can do is find another great tale to relish, and maybe do some re-reading whenever I get the urge.


Posted by chellabella Jul 23rd 2007

Obviously this post is going to have spoilers, and anyone who isn't finished yet should get offline and get their nose in Deathly Hallows, NOW!I loved it. Before I say anything else, I need to say I loved it. Sometimes I would stop and realize that their were actual words on the paper, not images being created in my head. To me, this book was terrifying. As soon as I heard about the Muggle-Born Registration, I immediately thought of Nazi times. I was surprised it took a good chunk of the book to get only one Horcrux. I went from hating my favorite character for betraying Harry and Hermione to loving him when he saved Harry and destroyed the locket. Only a true Gryffindor can get that sword! I knew automatically when the British edition cover happened in the book, but was confused about the U.S. edition, and had to read other people's reactions to realize it was the Great Hall. Percy's return broke my heart, because as soon as he returned, the brother who always teased him had finally respected him, then died. I didn't see the Remus/Tonks (though they really shouldn't have been calling her Tonks) deaths coming. I saw the parallel with Harry as Godfather of Teddy, but thought she couldn't kill brand-new parents. At first, I didn't like that Harry saved Draco and Goyle, but after reading it thouroughly, I liked and accepted it. Mainly because Ron knocked the lights out of him later. I've been waiting for page 625 since I read Prisoner of Azkaban, and thought the chapter 'Hermione's Secret' was going to be about her confessing her undying love to Ron. I squealed, shrieked and swooned even after finishing the book. I think the character I was most proud of was Neville. He is definetely a true Gryffindor, and a new favorite character of mine. Snape's death broke my heart. He died looking into Harry/Lily's eyes! Loved the Snape/Lily friendship. I liked, didn't love, the final battle, and didn't like the epilogue. But I love Harry!


Posted by Mesaj Jul 23rd 2007

Really really really amazing, but I wish the epilouge was more full, some characters we left out and the fates/lives after the book werent expanded upon. But I guess that can go into the next charity book


Posted by im_a_weasley Jul 23rd 2007

O and i just had to say that i was CRACKING up when george lost his ear and fred and him wre making jokes about it. lol i could not contain myself!! I think this book has the most humor in it than the others. I like the fact that JK added moments of happiness and laughter throughout the book. It made it better! And that way Harry wasn't so mad and sad the whole time. I FREAKIN LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!


Posted by yes_i_do_love_unicorns Jul 23rd 2007

lairyfights-- yes, it did say b*tch in the american version, the board is replacing the word with girl


Posted by ginnyrox1995 Jul 23rd 2007

That was by far the best book I have ever read!! I loved but dreaded the part when Ron opens the horcrux and it's torturing him. Like when Riddle says " she prefers your friend" I was so angry. As a lot of ppl mentioned I was a little dissapointed with the epilogue because I really wanted to know what happens to EVERYONE and I wanted to know their occupations. I am so amazed at how j.K. Rowling always kills the ppl you always least expect. But it still all fit nicely!!!


Posted by Loonyfan Jul 23rd 2007

It's funny how the Epilogue seemed like just another fanfic that I've read, but whatever, I thought it was cute, maybe a little rushed, but cute.


Posted by polkadotted Jul 23rd 2007

"JKR has said "There is a character who does manage, in desperate circumstances, to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare..." that was ron, speaking parseltongue. i think somebody already said that but nobody's bothering to reread through the earlier comments, so it's getting pretty redundant. it wasn't ted tonks, he was muggleborn but a wizard and it wasnt any of the dursleys or known squibs. i'm pretty sure it was ron


Posted by LennonFan Jul 23rd 2007

I got the book in the morning when my Borders opened. I read the whole thing in a day, and ended up having a huge headache because of it. But, I enjoyed the book immensely.


Posted by Million024 Jul 23rd 2007

haha no the us edition said "YOU B****!" too....haha best line in any of the books


Posted by Eaglety Jul 23rd 2007

It is the best one!!!! It had me crying for God knows how many times- for Mad-eye, Hedwig, Hermione modifying her parents' memories, Regulus, Dobby, Ron's deluminator, Potterwatch, resistance of Hogwarts (the DA were soooo brave...), Percy, Fred, Snape's last secret, Harry's decision, Dumbledore's confession... And of course Molly- so much about no swearing in the book^^... It's really hard to tell which part is the best. The plot is great. Everything was so unexpected for me... I mean, I expected Scrimgeour to die before the year's up, but before summer's up? Harry's conversation with Dumbledore at King's Cross made me feel...relieved. JK spent 6 years making Albus a God, and when Harry finally realized that he's human, it made me love him even more. It is quite a relief to find out that the 'gleam of triumph' at the end of GoF was not because he secured a victory, but because Harry had a chance of surviving... And Hallows, desperate man's dream... Who would have thought? Harry Potter, master of Death? And Snape's silver doe... *sigh* When he ask Harry to look at him I really cried... Don't even know what to think... Anyway, I'm rambling now. Personally, I think the one who did magic late in life was referring to Merope Gaunt, who was considered a squib, but still managed to enchanted Tom Riddle Sr.


Posted by notamuggle93 Jul 23rd 2007

Easily the best of the series! Finished in three days. Amazing ending, well written, upsetting the series is over. But I am pissed because I thought there was 784 pages! Come on!


Posted by MCDana Jul 23rd 2007

It just occured to me that Harry, Ron and Hermione are all related through marriage now, after Harry married Ginny. Cool.


Posted by magicalmuggle16 Jul 23rd 2007

lairyfights06, the US edition did say the B word. I was a bit shocked myself too, but i loved how mrs. weasley said it because having one of her children in danger is the only thing that would cause her to say it. And she totally dominated Bella! All right!


Posted by ButtERcUP Jul 23rd 2007

i loved snape....awesome character....yea i think the ending got REALLY magical..i mean it sorta seemed weird...the epilogue..well was pretty lame and ..boring. i thought it wud b a dramatic end...but i thought it was a bit sweet all the same :P i felt i dont know a mixture of sadness and unreality...its over harry is gone.... but one more time i loved the way she protrayed snape and dumbledore's relationship one of my favourite chapters in the whole series "the Prince's tale"


Posted by taf3london Jul 23rd 2007

Okay, this comment will have all the spoilers in the book so please if you dont want to know but are reading all these for some reason dont read this one ANYWAYS! HOLEY COW! That was not what I was expecting from that book, but I honestly am completely satisfied. Throughout the whole freakin book there was no doubt I was crying every other chapter, with the death of Hedwig I almost couldnt grip myself to continue but I knew, obviously, I would and had to The ending was amazing and all was well, now wasnt it?! YAYYY!! but anyways I must say I will be forever sad for the deaths of Fred, Tonks, and Remus. AND COLIN CREEVY! Oh my gosh when I read that part I almost died, because I knew he loved Harry and all that. and he really was a great kid. but of course Dobby's death hurt the most to me. I dont know why, probably because I loved him a lot, he was a GREAT elf. and I'm sure he will not go on forgotten! but man the way the DA and The Order stepped up was amazing and HARRYS OLD QUIDDITCH TEAM?! man that was a blast from the past, and I was glad to see Oliver there. but anyways Great book, great great. no words can describe great. my life is forever changed and I must thank J.K. a great deal for that, if only there was a way to tell her, maybe in person. haha THAT would be a life long goal accomplished. anywho I loved it and I thought it was amazing. and now I have no life. RIP Fred, Tonks, Remus, Colin. and of course Hedwig and Dobby! and thank you J.K. Rowling, you amazing person. I will, as I'm sure every Harry Potter fan is, forever grateful this idea came to you. and you wrote it down!


Posted by dobby312 Jul 23rd 2007

i thought it was amazing but it still had some holes.. the epilogue was a bit of a let down.. i wanna know what everyone is doing! who is Teddy living with if he's not living with Harry and Ginny? is he staying with Andromeda then? still so many questions!!


Posted by chadwill Jul 23rd 2007

the book was well writtem, however, there were alot of questions the book posed and did not answer. The epilogue could have been much better, but it is good to know that the group remained together. Like what else could have happened.


Posted by minimecherry Jul 23rd 2007

OMG I loved it!!! best one yet. great job JKR!!! I really thought it was a wonderful end to a great series... although i'm soooo sad its over!!!!


Posted by loveispotterharry Jul 23rd 2007

one last thing...becuase of all the speculation and theories we heard and believed in over the past year, i felt like the real version, JKR's version, to almost be, forgive me, wrong. i thought our theories were soo good and had to be right on the money. but they werent. i was slightly disappointed. but then again. nobody knows better than JKR herself.


Posted by mrsronaldweasley11 Jul 23rd 2007

geeze...what can i even say? the series as a whole i think you'll all agree is the best story ever told. i think its really amazing how things we may have glanced over in earlier books become so important at the end. i really like how it all tied together. the 7th book wasnt what i expected really it was brillant though i loved it. the characters just make your heart sing ya no? neville rising out of his slow beginning and becoming such a hero...kreacher leading the house elves! its just amazing and SNAPE i gotta admit even with everyones theories about him being good i never believed it. it was beautiful the way he finally admitted to harry all about lily and his mistakes. i shouldnt have doubted dumbledore. there were a few things she never answered like who did magic late in life someone said it was ted tonks but hes a muggle born so it couldnt have been him. it must have been ron speaking parseltongue like someone else said. there was more tho like what really was the importance of harry having lily's eyes? i dunno...and the epilogue...i found it a little too sweet and neat of an ending i guess its good that theres still some mystery to the whole story but i still found it a bit disappointing. but i did love the book i read for 13 hours stright no food or sleep or anything it was wonderful i just started reading it again and im still highly upset at the death of HEDWIG that was soo soooo sad! and dobby's death for me was just so emotional i couldnt even contain myself that really was probly the saddest part but i guess its from that pain and love that harry finds the strengh to do what he must. it was a truly truly amazing book i love it and i love harry and ron and everyone! im going to miss them so much.


Posted by Kelsey777 Jul 23rd 2007

I thoroughly loved the book. It was fantastic. It was very different from how I thought it would be at some points and exactly how I thought it would be in some. There were some parts that I didn't really like and deaths that were very ridiculous. Thre epilogue was a bit disapointing but I'm sure JKR will answer questions later. All in all BEST BOOK EVER. Duh. =]


Posted by avada_kedervax3 Jul 23rd 2007

This has to be my favorite book in the series. I cired and pratically howled when Harry died. Because I took a break before reading the fallowing character. So, I was exremely happy when Harry came back. I was extremely sad when Fred, Tonks and Remus died. Sometimes I thought it was a bit like fanfiction, but other times it felt like I was watching it instead of reading it. For some reason, I thought that Dumbledore had a two-way mirror with him when he died, but we found out that it was Aberfourth. I was truely taken back when I found outthat Grindlewald and Dumbledore were friends. I really thought I read it incorrectly. As for the Deathly Hallows, that also came to a huge surprise to me. I was slightly disappointed with the epilogue, because it wasn't very detailed. One word: Fantastic!


Posted by ronnnu Jul 23rd 2007

You know how the action comes to its climax in about the final sixth of every book? Well book 7 was like that from the very first page. It was completely packed with action and I must strongly disagree with people who thought the book "too slow" at certain points. It truly was an amazing piece of writing. If anything it went too quickly. However, I would have expected a MUCH longer conclusion to the whole series. It didn't feel like a proper goodbye (you know how Lord of the Rings has a really long final bit to it). In this case, it all just ended and there was a very (I'm sorry, Jo!) girlish epilogue to the whole thing - lots of children and a traditional happily ever after. The only thing that truly stood out from there was when Harry admitted that Snape was "the bravest man he ever knew". But making them 19 years older all of a sudden makes it feel like we are reading about complete strangers. We have no idea what has happened in 19 years and it really felt like reading about strangers (not entirely, but it was a huge change). I think that the ending to book 6 was the best one in the whole series, where Harry was with Ron and Hermione and he felt that he can do it (as if you need reminding). Saddest bit was when Dobby died and great respect for Harry there by digging the grave. Also, felt really strange when Voldemort just died. I didn't notice it at first, but having read all about his childhood in book 6 I really felt SO sorry for him. Loved the whole Dumbledore background. For some reason Snape's story was in most parts exactly how I expected it to be. And the saddest bit (was hard to read even) was when Harry was walkin through Hogwarts to be murdered by Voldemort. I felt what he felt. :) Jo Rowling really is an amazing person.


Posted by nevilles_soulmate Jul 23rd 2007

No one's probably going to read this, but I had to post something since this is history! It was my favorite book by far, that is, until the ending. I was sobbing the whole time Harry was getting ready to sacrifice himself and I completely howled when he 'died'. I felt everything after that was somewhat anticlimactic, kind of like a trick. 'Oh, we got you! Did you really think we would kill Harry?' I was especially disappointed by the epilogue, but I'm happy that Ron and Hermione and Harry and Ginny got together. I wanted to hear about everyone else, since those couples were kind of a given. My favorite part of the entire book and of the entire series was the chapter titled 'The Silver Doe'. Overall, Jo's writing was absolutely beautiful, poetic even at times. It was definitely not what I expected, but in the best way possible.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 23rd 2007

PYARRI - im thinking the threatened her to show them the trick, maybe hitting her, touching her, traumatizing. enough to have percival spare their lives, but torture them none the less. poor ariana...sounds like she would have been a good kid.


Posted by Stine Jul 23rd 2007

Before I read the book, I was TERRFIED. I was so afraid that it would suck and I couldn't believe it would actually meet expectations (sp). Then... Rowling wrote the best book I've ever read and it was so clearly above the others, no matter how hard that would be to believe before I read it. The other books have got some parts that can actually be boring, but the only chapters in DH that were close to be boring were those when Ron had left them. Seriously, those chapters confirmed what I've believed for a long time; these books would never work without Ron.


Posted by wotchermuggle Jul 23rd 2007

Anyone know when Mugglenet Interactive opens up? Any chance it opens up at midnight tonight??


Posted by dracoslover1 Jul 23rd 2007

Okay first of all the ENTIRE book was amazing. I cant stop thinking about it. and FINALLYYYYYYYY ron and hermione kissed. it was about time but harry ruined it. (lol) ive never cried over a book before this one. I couldnt stop crying when fred died because i mean come on ITS FRED who wouldnt cry. and when harry saw sirius, lupin, james and lily i couldnt breathe. especially when he asked does it hurt? ughhhh yea so the epilogue sucked but thats ok. i was lafing so hard tho went they said draco looked up and saw hermione, ron, harry, and ginny staring at him. i dont no about u but if i looked up and saw a bunch of people staring at me id get a little freaked, but yea. WHO DID DRACO MARRY? pleasseeeee not pansy. and everyones asking this but i dont think anyone actualy nows who got there magic late. anyways, I LOVED IT!!!!! (tear)


Posted by JenT Jul 23rd 2007

I loved it! I laughed and cried through it. It doesn't really suprise me that Jo didn't write what everyones jobs were, she put in what was most important, Harry having a family. Neville was awesome. It's my new favorite.


Posted by panthereye Jul 23rd 2007

Seriously, am I the only one who loved the epilogue? J.K.Rowling's next book: Albus Severus Potter. The only thing I had trouble believing was that Ron and Hermione named their son Hugo.


Posted by superstar303 Jul 23rd 2007

Well I really enjoyed the book. It was pretty good. I ruined it for myself by reading about half of it online before it came out :/. I have to say, I wish none of the people I liked died...Dobby, Mad-Eye, Fred, Tonks, Lupin, etc...I know that they had to, you know, if no one died it wouldn't be the same...and I know it's not real. But still... I want to know what happened to the Dursleys...did Harry ever go visit them? Who's died? What about Luna? How did George cope with the death of George? Molly? So many things left unsaid... :( I just...I don't know. I wish she answered everything. Wrote another book that was a whole epilouge, instead of the fanficized one we recieved. I just... I don't know. Mixed feelings about the book, I guess. And Lupin and Tonks...I didn't think she should have wrote Lupin the way she did when he found out Tonks was pregnant. And them both dieing...and the little baby, and Harry the godfather. It reminded me so much of Harry's story, just without the whole Voldemort part :) And Fred...ugh. Why couldn't she have killed Charlie, the Weasley we didn't know? But at least he died laughing, with Percy back...I can imagine that'd be a good way for him to go. And she ruined my image of Dumbledore. Throughout the whole book I was like, wtf? What is this coming to? I suppose near the end he sort of redeemed himself in my eyes, but still. I can't believe it. I think the books spoke a very strong message of good and evil and love and hate...but still. idk. Thoughts?

No. Just no. I swore that I would tear the book if Fred and/or George died, and/or if Snape died before Harry knew he was good. Oh my gosh! Viva el Half-Blood-Prince! VIVA! Why did Snape have to die? Why in the world? I didnt want him to die from the start. Not that I knew he was good from the start. I thought it was irrelevant. By the fifth book, I knew he was good. And in the sixth book, it was more than obvious. Harry is just so...I cant explain it. Why couldnt Harry have died instead of Snape? Well, then again, Ginny would have two losses, and that would be pretty bad. Oh well. SNAPE MUST LIVE!!! And what happened to George? Did he live happily ever after, I think not! What happened to him? And what happened to Cho? And why did she end the book with the sentence 'All was well.'? That is cheesy! Make it more sinister and vile. something like. 'and they all had a good time until' and not finish the sentence! so we could have another book. why did snape have to die??? although i think its a good thing that hedwig died. he would have gotten to in-depth in harry and ginny's relationship. and why did Percy not die? Why in the world? He totally should have died. Then snape could have lived! And Ron and Hermione? It was obvious from the start. the only question was who harry would end up with. But the chapter entitled 'The tale of the Prince' or something was beautifully written, and quite believable. It nearly made me cry. The end of the book seemed so empty. What about Dudley? What about Dean? What about Percy? What about Zachairas? What about the Patils? What about Pansy? What about them all? What happened to them? THe book was so empty, it makes me want to cry. Yet it was so full. I loved it. I want to read it again, yet I will cry if I do. It is sitting up on my table. Complete. Done. Oh, and what happened to Fudge? His name was so tasty! Why did so many have to die? Why? I loved it. I hated it. I loved it yet again. I should stop typing.
