and i also think dudley might be the person who she said uses magic even though its a little late in the game.

Exactly my thought. I just didn't want to voice it. But there's been some...er...hints.

I say hints because they're not obvious unless you've raked your book dry. x'DDD

The film was good, but i've always prefered the books to be honest, and although the films are good, i can't help noticing all things they miss out.

I finished twice by 10 a.m. on July 21st. I suggest that those who have not read this...controversial book please leave the thread now. Spoilers will be all over the place.

Best Quotes EVER:

"I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo," said Ron, looking down at his bare chest. (Ch. 4: The Seven Potters)

"Wow-we're identical!" (Fred & George/Ch .4: The Seven Potters)

"Saint-like," repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. "You see...I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?" (Ch. 5: Fallen Warrior)

"Luck we've got such a large supply of Basilisk fangs, then. I was wondering what we were going to do with them." (Ch. 6: The Ghoul in Pyjamas)

"Do not pity the dead," (Dumbledore/Ch. 35: King's Cross)

"Hello Minister, did I mention I'm resigning?" (Percy/Ch. 31: The Battle of Hogwarts)

"You actually are joking, Perce...I don't think I've heard you joke since you were-" (Fred before death/Ch. 31: The Battle of Hogwarts)

"You must kill me."
"Would you like me to do it now?" asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. "Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?" (Ch. 33: The Prince's Tale)

Snape looked horrified. "You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?" (Ch. 33: The Prince's Tale)


And for kicks: first sentences of certain chapters.

34/"Finally, the truth. Lying with his face pressed into the dusty carpet of the office..."

35/"He lay face down, listening to the silence."

36/"He was lying face down n the ground again."

Finished! Wow! It was amazing!
I loved the bit where Amycus, one of the carrows spits in Professor McGonagall's face and Harry pulls off the cloak and says "you shouldn't have done that" then uses crucio on him.

And the whole conversation between Harry and Lord Voldemort at the end.

I was really happy, cause usually i've always thought Harry doesn't do that much, but he did loads in this book and was the true Hero!

Wish we could have found out more about what happened after Voldemort was killed though, yes we found out a bit at the end, nineteen years but i would have liked more.

One of my fave quotes:



"So it all comes down to this, doesn't it?" whispered Harry "Does the wand in your hand know its last master was Disarmed? Because if it does...I am the true master of the Elder wand"

'If you seek beneath our floors, treasure that was never yours, thief you have been warned.'
It was something like that.

FREEEEED. ; ;
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DIED, GODDAMMIT. D:<
THERE WAS A REASOOOOOOOOON. DDD;

Ehem, so anyways.

The book, I think, had a little too much death. In fact, once Moody died in like the first, what, eighty pages, I realized "Ho's**t, I'm going to be crying a lot."
I know it was the second war, and people were bound to die, but...
Really, pointless deaths everywhere, and it pissed me off. Especially Tonks. I mean, I understand Lupin's death, because I knew after Wormtail strangled himself, that the Marauders were probably all going to die. But, I wish Tonks didn't. She had a kid, and, Jesus Christ, her poor MOTHER. Andromeda has lost her husband, daughter, and step-son son in law? And Narcissa, who was on the evil side, didn't loose anything but a crazy older sister?
I didn't think it was fair, even though I do love the Malfoys.

So, yeah. The book wasn't my favorite, no, but I suppose it was okay.
Eh...

i actually really liked this book.
i cried a million times, but i loved it nonetheless.
it was funny, it was sad, it was exciting.
to me, anyway.

i cried when dobby, fred, lupin, and tonks died.
and when harry asked "is it going to hurt?"
horrible, extremely horrible.
i mean i bawled like a baby.
i didn't think i was going to cry like that.


but does anyone else agree that neville just kicks a**?

and molly..."you don't touch my daughter, you b***h!"
hah.

Yeah i wish Tonks and Lupin hadn't of died, and the fact Moody, Dobby and Fred did to was sad. But i guess JK wanted to show how evil Voldemort was, and did that by killing off fave characters. Also so their kid (lupin and tonks) would be kind of like Harry, cause Harry is its godfather and now it has no parents. Just like Sirius was Harrys and he had no parents.
