Finally decided to finish reading The last book. Got home for Christmas Break this past Friday and started reading and finished Sunday night.
You want to finish the book but you know you'll be sad once it's over and I was and am. I also didn't like that Prologue. I don't like the idea of them all aging all of a sudden and being old and it's all over.
You must know that I have an unusual fear of aging and it has this depressing effect on me when characters, whether in movies, or book apparently, or any other medium just all of a sudden age by many years. Yes, I know they only aged into their 30's, but anything past in the late 20's and beyond just don't set right with me.
So to see these beloved characters just all of a sudden skip their youth.......grow up........apparently get married........and have kids.......ugh........that right there was enough to just depress me and weird/creep me out.
Anyways..........I guess there really is no hoping for her to go beyond the stated 7 books and continue on right after Hogwarts.........although they didn't actually attend Hogwarts their last year, therefore they didn't graduate, therefore the next book would probably have them attending Hogwarts still to make up for their last year. That would suck.........maybe they'd let them slide on the last year and let them graduate anyway, considering what they were doing during the last year. You know.............saving the Wizarding World......heck.....the Muggle World as well for that matter.
Funny enough, during one of the nights that I had been reading, I went to bed and had a dream and I was in a wizarding battle and I think we were up on one of the towers and I had to quickly cast a spell to defend myself.
I had a brain fart and only one spell came to mind. So I cast Avada Kedavra(-_- )......and later felt guilty once I woke up in the morning. So many other spells came to mind once I woke up.
It also dawned on me yesterday that Avada Kedavra sounds just like Abra Kadabra! I'm sure that was done on purpose. To turn one of the most, if not the most, commonest positive Magical Phrase into something ugly, disturbing and disgusting.
I like that.......

So now I'd like to touch on some things that I mentioned earlier this year in May when I had finished reading the "Half Blood Prince" in a completely seperate post b/c for the first time since I've been on KMC, my post was too long for 1 post. I had come to think that there wasn't a limit. Apparently there is. It's 10000 characters and I had 10102 characters.
So anyways.......

Dumbledore was sooooo STUPID.......unless this is one of his schemes. I haven't given up all hope on his common sense. This may be some grand plan of his in which he had to die or something.

I was shocked and dumbfounded when his picture was in his office. I was like "I never thought of that.......they can still see and speak to him through his picture."I'm sure it'll be touched on in the next book..........but being that Harry, Ron and Hermione don't plan on returning to school, I wonder how much of a role the Picture of Dumbledore can actually play in their lives being that they won't be at the school to interact with it.
Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....
Seems the Picture of Dumbledore did play his part in "Deathly Hallows." I wasn't disappointed in how it all came about.
And on that note I would like to say............I never thought I would feel so bad for Snape. You really wanted to believe that he was good, no matter how much you hated him, you wanted to believe he was good......that it was some scheme going on even after Dumbledore's death..........
I remember in "Half Blood Prince" during the battle and they were outside on the lawn and Snape and a/some Death Eaters were retreating and one fired a spell at Harry and Snape scolded him and told him to stop.......yes he used the reasonings of Voldemore wanting to kill him himself.........but a peace of me wanted to believe that he stopped the Death Eater b/c he truly didn't want him to hurt Harry.
It was little incidences like that throughout that made you.......made me want to believe there was some good in Snape and something going on that I wasn't aware of.
I'm glad to see that my hopes were warranted.
It seems, during the "Deathly Hallows", that Snape was so insistent on getting to Harry towards the end right before Voldemort killed him b/c he felt it was the right time to tell Harry everything as Dumbledore instructed.
Dumbledore's brother was sooo right too. People working for Dumbledore just seem to die......or come close to it........these characters of ours have suffered just as much b/c of Dumbledore as they did b/c of Voldemort, if not a little less. Amazing huh? Soulless Dumbledore.
All of his secrectness was too the extreme and uncalled for. Yeah some was, such as keeping the Minister of Magic from knowing what exactly he was leaving behind for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but other things were unnecessary.
How fortunate for Snape.......and Harry...........that Harry was there when Snape died or else Snape wouldn't have gotten to tell Harry what he needed to tell him and Harry would have never known. Just imagine if that hadn't worked out like that.
Also, when Hagrid ran into those groups of Spiders at the end, I wasn't worried at all. I thought they'd listen to him and when he became consumed by them, I thought that he was still alright.....just in the middle of them and getting them to back off........and then they were running away with him with his hand kind of sticking out.....and still I was like they're just taking him away to play with him or something......
Wow.........how slow can you be huh? But hey, they knew him and normally didn't hurt him.
OF course that was when Aragog was alive and controlled them so now I get it.
Took me long enough huh. I just now in this second got that. (;_` )
So yeah........what else.......Seems Ron group up and never changed. Grew up to be just like his dad. Haha.
I was hoping that towards the end that Ron and Hermione had a lot of talking parts........but they didn't..............
Also, I was so surprised how Harry went out of his way and risked his life to save Draco Malfoy after all Draco Malfoy did that in effect could have killed Harry, Ron, and Hermione and many others. I would have saved him.
I was pleased that Draco at least had the decency to NOD at them in the Prologue at the train station. I expected him to turn and dismiss them rudely. SO I was pleased at that.
Also, I loved the part in the castle during the battle where Harry and Hermione and Ron are under the cape and Harry does something, I think casts a spell to save Draco yet again and then as Ron goes by he punches him and says something like, "And that's the second time we've saved your @$$ b@st@rd. Ha!
Ohhhhhh! And I LOVED the part where Bellatrix and Hermione, Luna, and Ginny are battling and Ginny nearly misses a Death Curse sent her way and Mrs. Weasly bursts through and yells, "OH NO! NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BETCH!"
God I loved that part. That's like the parts in movies where you just really get into it and everybody's cheering. I mean, it's the first time we get anything like that from her.
And then Harry got to the part where he said he heard Bellatrix let out a laught that resembled Sirius's laugh right before he fell through the veil and died and that he knew what would happen next before it even happend.
When he said that, I thought Mrs. Weasly was going to die. But she handled that Betch Bellatrix. I was so awestruck and proud of her. Said she was twirling that wand like a pro, not that she wasn't, and lighting that floor up.
God........that may be my most favorite part. Can't wait to see that in the Theaters. They have to include that part in the movie. Bellatrix dies after all and again........Mrs. Weasly tore some arse up. Gotta have it!
I was shocked to see Lupin had died........then they said his wife was laying beside him dead...........wasn't surprised to see that.......you could kind of tell she was going to run blindly into battle after her husband and get messed up.
Shame for their baby though.
So many more things I could probably comment on about this but it's soo much and too much and just know that although this book had many slow moments.......like "Order of the Phoenix" did in Sirius's House......being the parts when they were hiding out in the tent........it had it's intense parts as well which balanced it all out and I can't wait to see this on the big screen.
Disappointed that they've kept the same Director from "Order of The Phoenix" for the next Harry Potter Movie, "Half Blood Prince", being that it's my least favorite Harry Potter movie, b/c the slow points in the book translated over to the film somehow even though miraculous all of the slow parts in the book were the parts in Sirius's House and they skipped over that so quickly in the movie and yet still managed to keep the slowness and uneventfulness through their time in Hogwarts, although in the book, I remember many interesting things happening during their time in Hogwarts than was shown in the movie.
So I'm afraid this director might mess up "Deathly Hallows" and make it uneventful and uninteresting as well until the last freaking 5 minutes as he did in "Order of the Phoenix". Might mess up "Half Blood Prince" for that matter. Hope not.
SO yeah..............Good Stuff.
I'm in your dreams........casting Avada Kedavra. (>_< )( >_<😉(>_< )( >_<😉(>_< )
One more thing. In all of the books I've always been able to tell which scene in the book the cover of the book was taken from. Not this one though surprisingly enough, which I'm disappointed and ashamed to admit.
Anyone care to relay this bit of invaluable information onto me? What part of the book did "Deathly Hallows"'s cover represent?
Tell me or..........AVADA KEDAVRA!
