Alright, I think that's enough. So, I received my copy here on Washington Island at about 3pm. I immediatley became entranced and finnished the book at 11:30pm that night. Given time for food, drink, bathroom, socializing, and all other interruptions (totalling an estimated 2 hours) I read all 652 pages in 6.5 hours. Not half bad, I say.

Also, I think I encountered a bit of traumatic shock for at least a half hour after finishing the book and had to take a Tylenol PM so as to actually fall asleep. I was just... I mean, I had read the Spoilers (because I suck) so I kinda had a suspition... but to see it, in black and white was just...

I mean... I was kind of convinced Snape would bite it, since that Unbreakable Vow thing... and I just... I really was convinced that he was good... and...

I just find it hard to accept that Dumbledore is actually dead. Gone. Finite.

Who will be Jo's voice? Harry and the readers learned all of our most important information from Dumbledore... what will we do without him?

AND SNAPE!!!

I actually still believe that he wasn't double crossing DUmbledore. I think, that, he had to kill him. I think when Dumbledore was saying "Severus please" he was begging for death, not salvation. I just find this all so hard to take in.

And can I just say... how absolutley PISSED I am at the fact that all we knew of Lily was that she was utter brilliance at Potions? Umm... duh?

I TOTALLY called Remus/Tonks right after OotP. I knew it... but it just wasn't written believably enough for me ::sigh:: I dunno, I wasn't thrilled with that.

Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione... again, duh, and HAHAHA!!! I laugh in the face of all H/H!!! HA HA HA!

HA!

Oh, and R.A.B. is Regulus (Alphard?) Black (Alphard is the only Black relative I know with an A). I'm almost positive.

Loved little Voldemort. Exactly as I pictured him. I loved manipulative less angsty Harry (Ding Dong the Caps Lock's gone). I loved the Gryffindor password being "Abstinance" and I pity the parents who have to explain to their 6 year old why everyone's snogging and why, exactly, the Fat Lady chose that password after getting drunk with the monks.

And Snape is a Half-Blood!! Draco must have NO clue!! I was freaking shocked!

This book has become my second favorite. GoF will always hold a place in my heart, but this book surpassed all my expectations. SO much better than OotP.

Opinions?

Also? THought this icon was frighteningly appropriate.


I miss you all. I come home Thursday night and leave again Saturday morning. Friday is filled with laundry and repacking, but I may be able to make a quick socializing that night. Di, Kat, Dani?
