Having just read the seventh Harry Potter book...
I finally got to read it. And let me say, first off...
MORE SNAPE!!!! YAAAAAYYYYYY!!! *ecstatic but incoherent ramblings*
Also, I would hug the poor son of a bitch, but...
...yes, the book could've been better put together - a lot. And the ending was superfluous - tacked-on, if you will. I would've prefered a 'licking their battle-wounds' scene at the end, myself. But hey, we can't always get what we want, right?
Perhaps more later, when I'm a bit more coherent.
