Holy Crow. The Goblet of Fire got INTENSE those last few chapters.
It was like a roller coaster. I was furious with Snape for awhile towards the end and then Moody in turn, for being Death Eaters, and then all of the sudden they were both off the hook. I'm a bit weary to find out how Moody really acts, and there are conflicting feelings about Snape going on in my head. I like him then I don't, then I'm sure he's with Voldy, then I'm sure he wants to protect Harry. It's like a bad relationship. Gracious. I'm just as curious as Harry about what convinced Dumbledore he is loyal to him. I hate how you only get one point of view in books.
I like Sirius. I'm not going to lie. I am very sad that he is going to die. I don't want him to. I liked Lupin too, I'm glad Sirius went to get him at the end, I missed him. I feel sorry for Neville. I wonder though if he is sort of an orphan why Harry and him aren't better friends. Ron and Hermione crack me up. Ron's crush on her that is. It was highly amusing to read about at the Yule Ball. I'm also interested to if I'll see Krum around more.
Rowling did such a good job of creating this world and the characters that I felt genuinely sad that Harry's parent's are dead. I mean normally I'm the kind of person who wasn't really introduced to them so I didn't really feel their deaths. But when I was reading Lupin and Sirius's reactions to Harry hearing his mother plead with Voldemort... It tugged my heartstrings. Even Harry doesn't really feel their absence as much as the people who actually knew them. I must commend Rowling on her ability to do that. She's a great author.
You know that feeling you get when you finish something epic? I've got that right now and it's worrying me. I'm going to be very upset I finish this series. There just aren't as many epic books being published these days, I'm afraid I'll never find anything good to read after this. *sigh*
Anywhoo, I'm going to start Order of the Phoenix tomorrow, we'll see how I fair after reading that. I want a Harry Potter icon now. I'm afraid to go search for one though, for fear of spoilers. It'll have to wait I suppose. :)
