@B&B: The sign didn't get it away? ;___;

It's Padfoot && Moony. 8D Sirius and Lupin

(Ron's a red head. And Harry has green eyes.

Like his mom, which we heard at least a million times. >___>)

@Jingle: Exactly. gonk

I can't believe they left out Sirius's mom too.

>_____>;;



Rawr. Tosh has finally finished the book though.

JKR has succeeded in killing nearly all of my favorite characters.

Ain't that just great. >____>

Highlight unless you are Niph xD:


DOBBY?! WTF?! WTF?!
&& Hedwig too?! Dx
FREDDDD~
Snape! Who I finally began to like... xD


Lol I can just imagine the various fan clubs of the characters killed during book 7 crying foul blood and sending tons of hate mail to Rowling. rofl rofl

I read it in less than 5 hours yesterday after buying it in the morning.
I must say that Book 7 is hell of a lot different to the other 6 books. Not just in the setting, in the way the old characters are portrayed, in the almost action/horror movie style way lots of longtime characters die, but even in the basic writing style itself. It's much less kidsy and simple to understand than the previous books. Heck it didn't even feel like a HP book to me; it was rather like one of the many dozens of generic fantasy novels I've read with the lone hero, his (dis)loyal sidekick and hot female companion on a quest to obtain or destroy several magical artifacts to bring down the evil dark lord and win the heart of his true love. The final epilogue(I won't spoil what it is) is especially cliched, with shades of Digimon Aventure 2(whoever's seen the last episode of it will agree).
Still, being so cliched doesn't mean it wasn't fun to read. Far from it. I think it's the most enjoyable HP book of them all precisely because Rowling stuck to most of the standard fantasy/shonen manga conventions and and finally got to the end point of the story.

@'elfy - I think book 6 was already fairly like that, it's good 'cause it's like.. developing along with the characters growing up, if you see what I mean.

Will definitely read it todaaaaaaaaaay. >>;;

@Niph: I hope I didn't give anything away... whee Have fun with the book. 3nodding

@Mini: Hello. *waves* Welcome back! Anyway, I agree the epilogue was like Digi 2 ending all over again. Talking about that ending why did TK and Kari never get together? WHY?! gonk *cries* And what kind of a name is HUGO?! It is so typical of them to use that name! Rose is nice though. 3nodding Though Albus... Hm. Not so sure. xd

@Tosh: Aaaaah. I see it now. I just couldn't think of who they could possibly be... I know Harry as green eyes, and Ron very red hair, which was why I was slightly confused, thinking they looked nothing like Ron and Harry. xd And tooootally agree with you there. 3nodding *sob* gonk

I think we're boring Babi with this topic. xd

Bahaha.
Hugo.

Who was Draco's wife?
I re-read most of the text looking for a name, and found none.

andandand
Why does Harry not cast a curse on Voldemort,
But chooses to reflect a curse instead?
The guy's only been trying to kill Harry for his entire life.
Note how Harry never kills anyone.
Ron has.
Hermione has.
But not Harry.

Well to be technical Harry deflected Voldermort's killing curse right back on Voldemort himself, thus killing him. That bit was written rather poorly by Rowling since it wasn't exactly explained how Harry rebounded the curse, but he definitely did.
And as for Ron and Hermione actually killing someone, well so many people use the killing curse in book 7 that it became rather passe for so me, so it didn't matter who managed to kill who.
Finally, Harry's been more famous for surviving direct killing blows to the chest. He took one when he was a baby, deflected one in GOF, dodged plenty of curses in OOTP and this book, took another direct hit with no protection again and survived, and finally deflected a curse and succeded in killing the dark lord with it.
