Not even close to finish but...

Jul 16, 2005 12:38

Due to many unwanted and long-lasting interruptions, I'm currently only up to chapter 4 but have skimmed through other selective sections. To put it simply: I probably am one of the most vindicated-feeling person on earth at the moment, and HBP is at the same time my favorite book ever.

( Put behind the cut even though these are perhaps spoilers to none )

We won, suckers, and you know who you are.

My thoughts exactly.

Also, no-one can ever use the 'U fangirls just <3 teh movie version' again, what with JKR getting confused between them herself (didja see the bit that mentions Hermione's 'punching' Draco? Tsk, tsk, JKR, movies aren't canon.)

My thoughts exactly.

A better person than me wouldn't have felt so damn smug. I am not that better person, unfortunately.

Haha I haven't seen the punch reference with my own eyes yet, but I saw your comment somewhere else and thought it a wonderful blackmail material, let's save it for possible future use if Rowling shows signs of turning back to the side of big lame light again. Kidding, of course ;-)

I am not a better person either.

"Obviously Draco will fall more and more into oblivion, because he's just a 2D bully, and Harry has more important things to worry about."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

And YET, and yet, Harry keeps telling us, almost obsessively might I add, that he worries about what Draco is up to more than all the important things like the task Dumbledore gives him, his favorite Quidditch and so on throughout HBP.

Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha. I seriously had to gasp and wonder if I really was reading canon when Rowling put Harry, obsess, and Draco in the same sentence for what must've been the 54549898498th time X-DDDDD

I am with you on the whole 'Snape is not bad' front. Just before he died, Dumbledore said Severus and I don't think he was pleading for mercy. He was reminding Snape of what had to be done.

_rp_zeal_ July 16 2005, 22:07:51 UTC

Yup. What a fool Dumbledore would've been if he was totally wrong about Snape, and somehow I just know Rowling wouldn't do that to his memory, especially considering how much she likes him.

Snape's reminding other DEs about Voldemort needs to savor finish off Harry by himself, I think, was a thinly-veiled effort to save Harry's little ass too. Nope, Snape is SO NOT EVIL.

you know, i thought narcissa was pretty damn hot in this book. a MILF!

_rp_zeal_ July 16 2005, 22:09:57 UTC

I could eat Narcissa! She's now my top most wanted-to-sleep-with fictional female character should I swing that way ;-P

SPOILERS!! but probably you know/read them already... cook32 July 18 2005, 03:10:57 UTC

i'm still too emotional for words at the moment... so i'm just gonna quote you (as usual, hope you don't mind ( ... )

Re: SPOILERS!! but probably you know/read them already... _rp_zeal_ July 18 2005, 13:40:31 UTC

Oh you should totally continue with your H/D quotes project, though it's a HUGE project since there are just too many H/D moments in HBP X-DDDDD

H/G is certainly nothing compared to H/D in terms of intensity and impact on Harry, puuuuuuuliz, Draco is totally the most important peer student outside of trio in this series now!!!

I would go read the many great Snape-related essays once I've finished reading the book (still 100 pages or so to go!), there really are NO WORDS to describe my love for HBP!!!

ginzai July 18 2005, 17:54:07 UTC

I wrote a response to this shortly after you first posted, but unfortunately my compu at home isn't allowing me to actually comment. -_-;

Suffice to say, YES HA HA HA HA WE TOLD THEM HA!

Well, I feel better. :D

Honestly, after searching through thousands of pages of material to try to seperate the gold from the dross, we get canon backing. And I think you're right on too, with the idea that JKR was thinking "WTF, you're not supposed to like him yet!"

Oh, so so good.

_rp_zeal_ July 18 2005, 21:54:30 UTC

Canon backing is worth a great number of good fanfics altogether, it really is *hugs HBP*

I did have considered the possibility of a valid reason JK couldn't have developed Draco yet in OOTP, after I calmed down from severe loathing of the book. But I'd never have thought it remotely possible JK was merely playing cold/indifferent about Draco, while all along had a huge Draco storyline in store for us! She was once asked if she had a plan for Draco, she then said she had a plan for every character and soonly changed topic, totally downplaying Draco's significance and got everyone fooled. Was she laughing inside :P?
