Yeah, like probably a good half of the fandom, weak-willed little me has submitted herself to 1. all the chapter titles and 2. THE EPILOGUE SCANS OF DOOM. If you haven't and wanna see them, go over to
elaboration's or
fraught's LJ :-D (Come on~! Let go of your self restraint~ Weak mind loves company~)
(
So I am gonna talk about this epilogue a bit... )

Every maniac around the globe is either downloading, reading or has finished the WHOLE DAMN BOOK now though! It's insane!

Now that I know of said spoilers though, I'm going to be on tenterhooks all week. ARGH.
I'm with you on the OotP!movie, though. I liked it better than any of the other movies (which is, perhaps, saying something as I still hate the book itself). The Death Eaters certainly seemed more frightening here than in the book; they seemed much more of a challenge more likely to have the upper hand. I missed Draco's fit at the end of the book though; that one scene sets up for HBP just so perfectly.

Yeah, still hate OOTP the canon... Its only redeeming value to me lies in the Black family backstory, and the fact Godric & Salazar used to be fuck buddies ;-) I have completely given up on any hope the HP movie squad will do Draco's role justice, so comes HBP guess I'll either be vindicated or pleasantly surprised.

Still, little things such as hearing that there is no massive scary H/G make me beyond happy. Your new post about Draco's woe makes me a bit leery (bad H/D cliches? Really? Worse than HBP bad H/D cliches? Is it even possible?) but I really look forward to the Snape bit ( ... )

It seemed like there were at least 38589305 scenes in which Harry modestly said 'Nannyboohoo, everything's my fault, I only had the best intentions!' and someone interrupted with 'No, Harry, it's MY fault, you're blameless and perfect!'.
Not to mention how it equalled the books for Harry being everyone's no. 1 priority, so even when the Weasleys think their dad may have died, it's all 'LOOK AT ME, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME, HELP ME DOWN THE CORRIDOR RON!' My non-HP friend was catcalling 'C'mon, he's doing it for attention!' by the time he fainted, and openly laughed throughout the possession. (I'm so proud!)

What say you of the spoilers? If you haven't read them yet, DON'T start now, seriously! Take it from a badly spoiled idiot who's loathing herself a little at the moment ^^;;

Oh, I've skimmed the first 500pgs, just dl'ed the second batch. I keep meaning to read it all but it's a bit...eh, so I've just been looking for characters who take my eye: Draco, Dudley, Fleur.

Would you say it is 100%, definitely, absolutely without a doubt, the book? Coz you know how the last few chapters, especially the Crabbe & Goyle part, gave me nightmares last night? You know how much of a Draco fan I am, and how I was horrified by his lack of... let's say point of existence in 'this book' (Draco's wand was 100 times more important than his person, HA HA HA)- but this was *nothing* in comparison to the absolute horror I felt when I saw Crabbe and Goyle firing around AK like nobody's business. I seriously thought I was having a bad dream. I mean, the Crabbe who read comics? The Crabbe and Goyle who dressed up as a little girls at Draco's command?
SERIOUSLY HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD????!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would've never have in my wildest dream, imagined that I'll one day be completely disgusted by the HP series, not because of what happened to Draco's character, but to Crabbe and Goyle's.
Please god let this all be a ridiculous joke!!!
