scrolled down without reading any of it...won't be able to touch the book until december or so, SHOULD I read this post??? :)

No.

I pretty much spoil everything in this post.

caernarvon July 21 2005, 04:28:16 UTC

Ok...without spoiling the book (seeing how you can't/shouldn't in a comment ;) How is the book?

buttercup31 July 21 2005, 16:17:55 UTC

I loved it.

See, now I have more to say! I'll go paragraph by paragraph because organizing my thoughts at 12:30am will take entirely too long ( ... )

Long Comment- Part Two. she_runs_away75 July 21 2005, 04:54:10 UTC

I do wish there was more of Hermione in this book, but I think it was good for Harry to have to do things on his own. I liked the way his character developed in that sense. Even though he was "cheating" without Hermione's help, I think it was good for him to start to come into his own as an adult wizard, instead of relying on her. Because we all know he'll be alone for the final showdown, and she won't be there feeding him answers and spells ( ... )

I think the mentioned at one point that all the time travel devices had been gathered by the Ministry or banned or something like that. It was early in the book and it made me think, 'uh oh, there's going to be something that COULD be changed with time travel that now won't be.'

I wondered about the painting thing, too. That one old headmaster interjected stuff a lot. Will Dumbledore?

Ohhh, I didn't remember them saying that about Time Travel at all, thanks! I knew there had to be some reason they didn't use it.

I really hope we haven't seen the last of Dumbledore.

I just finished the book and now cannot sleep ( ... )

I was the same way, I finished right before bedtime (actually a little after) but had to find people to talk to.

I totally missed that Rupert comment. I remember Slughorn calling him that, but I didn't put it together! (Though I am not too fond of movie things creeping into the book ( ... )
