One More with Feeling

In no particular order:

I am really, really satisfied by this book. It did exactly what I needed it to do. This is probably helped in the fact that I like Draco & Snape well enough, but I'm not a fangirl for either of them, and whether or not they're my favorite ships, you could see HP/GW, RW/HG coming BOOKS away. And if you want slash...it's not like Canon ever stopped anyone before.

Characterization! Everyone was themselves, and Ginny really came into her own. So did Fleur. You go Girls

Luna's Quiddich Commentary!

DUDE. Harry & Dumbledore...HARSH. But that's always been Rowling's forte I think. I still think my favorite moment in the third book is when Peter whines that Voldemort would have killed him and Sirius says "Then you should have died!" And this was just as powerful. By this point Harry's got to have a serious aversion to Goblets.

The new teaching appointements were interesting. I liked Slughorn, even though he's obviously self-centered he did seem to have some morals and wasn't a bad teacher.

I like know Harry fights evil with a different group each year. 1st year, H/R/H. 2nd year, H/R. 3rd year, H/H. 4th year, Harry alone. 5th year, the DA. 6th year, H/Dumbledore. I'm wondering who this will leave for the 7th. I'm hoping for a repeat of the 1st year, because I like it when things come full circle. But it will probably be all out war, more like the 5th book.

If Harry is a horcrux, then I think it was unintentional. Voldemort was going to kill Harry in order to make one. I'm wondering if there isn't a Horcrux at Godric's Hollow when Harry gets there....the item Voldemort meant to use in the first place.

Apparently Voldemort did not go through a sweet Anakin phase. Dead rabbits, yeesh.

there are more, but I'll stop now.
