Deathly Hallows

I finished the book at 3 AM last night. Oh. My. God.
The ending of the series was perfect. It makes me sad though that that was the last book.

Yeah, the Resurrection Stone part made me teary too. I had a feeling Snape would be good, though until the end it could have gone either way. I'm wondering if Rowling did the whole Snape-hating thing as a red herring. I was almost weepy in the pensieve part too, when Snape was in Sirius' room.

Maybe he's taking the Elder Wand back to Godric's Hollow? I don't know...I could think of a few places he could have meant. I'm not sure if I liked that Draco had become the owner of the wand, because then that was too convenient for Harry to get.

The Epilogue was cute. I laughed when Ron told his son not to befriend Draco's kid. I also went "awwww" when Harry named his son "Albus Severus." However, the epilogue wasn't really necessary, I feel.

I still have to reread book five and six. I've only read those once. Now I've learned to read five with the focus on the twins - that should make the book more enjoyable for me. XD I hated Emo!Harry.

Yeah, that was so sad, in Sirius' room. I love Snape so much now. lol I tried to find the original letter back some chapters because I don't remember how the sentence began. lol The photo is so cute. I can imagine a little chubby baby Harry on a toy broomstick, and imagine a young Sirius receiving the letter

Oh, that makes so much sense on who Victoire is! I was wondering who she was. XD I was picturing baby Harry on a tiny broomstick causing havoc and I couldn't stop laughing.

Yeah, the Elric Wand part is a bit of a leap of faith. Since Dumbledore's death was predetermined and Draco didn't actually do anything, one would think that Dumbledore would still have the wand. Sure Draco was going to (attempt) to kill Dumbledore, but he couldn't do it. Also, if Voldemort thought of Snape as a real Slytherin, he should have taken his wand too, just in case. XD

I think Dumbledore knew that Draco would try but fail because he knows people inside and out. I don't really think anyone had the Elder's Wand. I think it died with Dumbledore because his death was planned, so even Draco didn't forcibly take the wand from him in triumph. I think Harry was just blowing air at Voldemort to get him worried and be all "joke's on you, foo'!"

I like how Harry told Albus Severus about one of the headmasters being a Slytherin and also being the bravest man he knew. It breaks down the barrier of HAVING to be in Gryffindor because Snape gave Slytherins a better reputation by being all good.

The whole thing kind of reminded me of the Holocaust. Purity, etc. I'm totally buying the entire series though, in a set, and reading it aaall over. :]
