Do not read this unless youre done with HBP or you dont care *SPOILERS*
Wow.
I loved the Rupert reference, that was priceless.
And Im pretty sure I was shrieking "Ek ek ek ek ek!!!" for at least 5 minutes after the Herbology moment.
The whole Ron and Lavender thing was vomiting worthy. I thought it would never end. Definitely a low point. Idk, that whole section of the book reminded me of a Fanfic.
However Harry and Ginny were wonderful. That was really well done.
the sweetest part was when the potion made harry smell treacle fudge, wood from a broomstick, and a flowery smell he'd smelled at the Burrow. And then on the next page to find out that flowery smell is Ginny.
"I am not worried, Harry. I am with you"
That was the most powerful line Ive ever read. Harry and Dumbledores relationship here is...very touching. It really hit something deep inside me, I cant explain it..
And that moment made me cry more then anything else.
This felt like a 'coming of age' year for harry. For the first time, hes really on his own in many ways, and hes no longer a child by any means. Very dark, upsetting, but oddly happy in a way too, or at least it had this feeling of closure or acceptance for whats to come. I loved the last line of the book as well.
And snape.. snape..
Seeing Dumbledore beg was unsettling...Ive never felt so disgusted with a character as a felt with snape.
I felt disgusted with draco as well after he stomped on Harrys face, that made me nauseous.
But Draco... the part between him and Dumbledore was really thoughtful, and really, for the first time, showed that distinct line between being able to chose what is right, and what is evil, and the fear incorporated with all of it..Dracos a sad character. And the theme of having mercy.. Dumbledore showing Draco mercy and forgiveness...again it was really powerful..
Its really hard to grasp that Dumbledores gone. Im having a hard time with that...
