Should I read it? I flipped through, wasn't grabbed by anything, read the last chapter, and decided to forgo the epilogue.

Actually, I probably will read it at some point, if only so I can play around with more Greek tragedies. Got any more appalling fics/fic summaries for me? Or something cringe-worthy from the book itself?

Neville and Luna have always been my favorite characters. And Moody and Buckbeak and Crookshank.

I liked it; other people in the fandom hated it. Here are the good points:

- Awesome backstory for Dumbledore.
- It starts off with a bang, and never lets up.
- There are some wonderful, subtle character/worldbuilding moments.
- Like I mentioned before, the takeover of the wizarding world is genuinely frightening.

Aaand the bad points:

- Some of the subplots could have been fleshed out more.
- Harry's powers are a bit more Super Special Awesome!!!!!!!! than they should be. She kinda justifies it, but you still might find yourself going, "But - but - WHAT THE HELL WANDS DON'T WORK THAT WAY ( ... )
