Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Jul 21, 2007 23:54

TOTAL ABSOLUTE UNQUESTIONABLE GIGANTIC SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT.

I finished HP7 at 9:30 tonight. I do not have the energy or coherency to write out a review or anything, but I can tell you these things. They are not in any semblance of order, but I wrote them down in the order I remembered them in. You'll be fine. You read the book. xD

( Parts I laughed/smiled at. )

Exactly. Exactly what I wanted to say. Just a lot more coherant.

I just. . .I love how everyone grew up in this book. And I just loved everyone at the end of the book-- yes, everyone had flaws, but they were just unquestionably good and loving people. And. . . yeah. Pretty much it. I'm glad-- exactly like you said-- that she left most of them safe. I was glad to walk away from it feeling like everything would be all right. -hugs all her kids-

I know! I was so, so glad that they made it. I feel so enormously relieved.

Dear world, I want wedding!fic. Too freaking cute.

Snape, not evil? fredtheavenger July 22 2007, 14:27:42 UTC

>SO HA!, everyone who thought Snape was evil. SO HA!

I still think he was. Defecting to the good side to get revenge doesn't make him good.

Re: Snape, not evil? loveknot July 22 2007, 20:09:25 UTC

The thing I really love about him is that I don't think he was completely evil or completely good. I think his motivations were twisted and convoluted, and I think that's very human and interesting.

For his love of Lily, he defected to the good side. And a lot of Harry Potter is about the power of love, I think, and how it changes people.

I love you. This book was awesome and it seemed like everyone else except me hated it.

I only actually cried when Fred, Dobby, and (strangely) Mad-Eye died. I was totally, completely horrified that Mad-Eye kicked it, it was just so... he's Mad-Eye, he's supposed to live forever being paranoid and hilarious.

But I teared up a lot, and I was gasping like every other page, XD

WHY would anyone hate it? I thought it was so great!

I didn't cry when Mad-Eye died, oddly. It was like the "well done, soldier" kind of feeling.

I loved it I loved it!

Harry saying "Stay close to me" to Lily.

I burst into utter sobs right then, and I went back and read the line over and over, and my sobs got a little stronger each time, until finally I had to stop for the good of myself and to get on with the book.

i will so have you know that, thanks only to the knowledge that you were so giddy excited at the end of the book, i KNEW FROM THE GET-GO that ron didn't die. no, "oh god, here's where he kicks it!"-type fear for our dear ronny, no. YOUR PERFECT GLEE WAS SPOILER ENOUGH, YOU SPOILERIFFIC HO-BAG.

"Of course it is happening in your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

real, real DEEP down tears. please sum up and then soothe the greatest struggle in my life. you rock my world, jorow.
