Ya, I read the book. One word: Amazing.
Deaths [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Fred, Moody, Tonks, Lupin, Voldemort, Snape, Dobby. George loses and ear and Ron splinches a part of his arm, but that doesnt seem to be permanent.
Interesting stuff: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Deathly Hallows are three items that when united will be master of death (im not sure if its explained what that means exactly, because dumbledore just gives his opinion. Anyway, these three things are the stone fo resurection (gaunts ring's stone), the invisibility cloak and the elders wand. It is an unbelievably powerful wand that dumbledore has been using. It can only be taken by beating the person (it can be taken, but it wont work right, like all wands that arent assigned or won) Dumbly beat grindewald, his former friend bc he wanted to unite the hallows but decided not to.
Horcruxes: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: guess i was wrong, Harry did have a horcrux in him. Voldy used the killing curse but bc he had harry's blood in him, his fate was tied to Harry's. Sicne he lived, Harry lived, kjust in time to make amends with dumbly in a subconcious afterlife. So the horcruxes are as follws: The destroyed ring, the snake (neville kills), The locket, the cup (bellatrix had it in her gringots vault), Harry, The crown of Ravenclaw (which was in the room of requirement) and the bit of voldy that was in his body.
Snape: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Snape was good. He was on Dumbledores orders the entire time. The thing that made Fumbly trust him was his love for Lily, and old childhood friend who never spoke to him after he called her a mudblood. He watched over Harry secretly the entire time, trying to protect him any way he could. He eventually is killed by voldemort, who thinks that Snape inherited the elder wand, when in reality, he didnt (bc he didnt relinquish the wand from dumbledore, draco did)(and later, harry fought draco for his wand after harry's broke)
Voldemort has Nagini kill Snape so that he can inherit the wand, which he doesnt
I can't get my book until Monday, because Amazon mixed up my order with someone else's. Then I tried Barnes&Noble, but I wanted to get the whole collection, but I would have to wait until September for that. I'd be on my second week of school, before I get it! So I cancelled it. And then I had to reorder my book from Amazon, and I bought one for my best friend New Jersey. (Not that any of you needed to know that)
Well the Australian and UK version (I think)
Is [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the gringots scene when they are getting the cup
However, I am a bit stumped for the US one, with Voldemort and Harry on the cover... I'll read the book again and try and figure it out...[SPOILER - highlight to read]: possibly that final scene or something... only time i can think of where they are actually dueling as such... or maybe its just symbolic
However the Box set art one is [SPOILER - highlight to read]: of that scene they escape on the dragon...
Also, I was wondering if anyone else had people bugging them while you were trying to read... my dad walked in almost every half hour and said. "Is he dead yet?"

I know. I wanted to ****ing choke my parents. I got home, and they immediately scolded me for banging on the door. then my dad wanted coffee. I started reading at 12:30 a.m and around 2 my mom called me to tell me that i had to be in bed. I stayed up until around 4 and then woke up at 8 to babysit. Read it until like, 11. Everybody I know was calling to ask if he died, and to send me stupid txts saying he died.
Just finished the book, wasn't really bugged while reading it, just hated the fact that I had to go to work when in got awesome... I loved that I keep meeting a whole bunch of Potter fans though by selling it I love that part of my job cause it's awesome! But I'd have rather skipped out on work to read the book but unfortunately I needed the money.... But I'm done now and only one part seemed to be missing from the ending... [SPOILER - highlight to read]: You never get to see the aftermath of Fred's death and the effect it had on the rest of George's life it makes me so sad I remember telling my dad wouldn't it be sad if one of the twins died? and it came true! I feel guilty for thinking that.... I couldn't cry when he died in the book because I couldn't believe it, now I just like cried my heart out... and poor Percy coming back, but just in time to see his brother die? What an ending! I'm always into the tragedy type of stuff it's really depressing.
