I have finished...finally
*~*Okay, I have finally finished the book and, aside from a few little things, i feel exactly how i was hoping id feel after reading it. things were answered, things made sense (for the most part) and harry is alive, which i was questioning what she would do b/c towards the end...i wasnt sure where things would end up... so, all in all, im happy :) i loved the book. i laughed, i swore, i got mad at the book and would put it down and go do something else for a while b/c i couldnt even handle it. and i cried. a lot. like, crying like a baby from when fred dies pretty much through to the end. and i was totally right about Snape and Dumbledore! i really liked the snape/lily pensieve scene, and so what if he was helping dumbledore simply b/c of his love for lily and not b/c he had changed his mudblood hating ways...he was still helping, and that counts for something...right?! hehe oh, and dumbledores true colors werent surprising...yet, it was odd to read them all laid out on the page b/c i think i had tried to pretend he was all good b/c it was easier than thinking he had any faults. but whatev. oh, and the dreaded epilogue...was it needed? no, i could have lived without it....but did i hate it? no. i think after all of this other shit, i actually welcomed this mundane glimpse into the lives of our heroes b/c it showed that, finally, things were normal in this twisted Potterverse. seeing the kids off to school. nothing more, nothing less. and honestly, the only pairing that bothered me was remus/tonks b/c it was forced and he wasnt happy...thats it. i didnt mind harry/ginny or ron/hermione one bit. to me it was so cannon that i didnt care anymore. but yeah, im sure as i think about it more, things will bug me...but as a whole, im happy, and im sleepy...seeing as how its almost 4 in the morning, so im gonna go to bed and have sexy Dan Rad dreams b/c its what i do...g'nite!*~*
p.s. im sorry this was so long
