i've worn my slytherin scarf since i finished reading

Jul 24, 2007 12:41

Just got back from London and haven't slept in 27 hours so I'm off to bed and hopefully I'll have more luck there than I did at the airport (which was freezing) or the plane (which was equally cold and had too many screaming kids on it), but first I just have to say:

( WTF JKR? )

harry potter, book 7, spoilers

Welkommen hjem. ;)

Yep, even though I knew he had to die it still pissed me when he did. And by a frickin' snake! Grrr... Could've been more heroic.
But I was actually more annoyed by how she finished of Lupin. In a fickin' footnote!?!? Actually, not annoyed, infuriated!
Otherwise, I really liked it... Quite mean killing of only one twin, and leaving the one-eared alive...

The weird thing is, I'm taking this MUCH harder than I did Dumbledore dying, even if I was like the one person left in the world who hadn't seen that coming, and this one I knew, because it just HAD to happen. I think I was distracted from Lupin dying so insignificantly in my frustration with how she just dropped Snape on the floor like that, but yeah, that bothers me SO much as well.

But never as much as Snape. :) It's almost enough to make me go hunt for HP fanfics, but at the same time I just don't want it all ruined by crapfic. It would take a truly talented writer to do for me what Rowling failed to do. :/

PS. Have you found out who she changed her mind about and killed off? I've only managed to find out who she let live after all...

Who did she let live?? I don't know who she decided to kill instead of others, but maybe she was dabbling which Weasley to finish..? Hmm... There really isn't so many dead people, are there...?
Oh yeah, Snape-death way worse than Dumbledore-death...

She said in an interview on the 21st that Mr. Weasley was supposed to have died in Order of the Phoenix. (How happy am I that he didn't? Harry dreaming that was my favorite non-Snape related part of the book.) She may or may not have killed off Remus instead, but that wasn't really clear.

Oh yeah, Snape-death way worse than Dumbledore-death...

Yay! Well, not 'yay he died,' but 'yay we agree.' Can you believe there are actually people out there who still think he was the über-meanie??
