Sweetness

And yeah, I know stories about young students who give in to their homoerotic fantasies with help from powerful drugs (i.e. Looooove potions) is fun and all, but could we at LEAST keep them to PMs?

I mean, at least JK Rowling left something to the imagination!

Unless you've got some yuri to contrast the yaoi...

But yeah..... when did a children's book become the center stone for slash fanfics?

Or any kind of adult fanfiction, for that matter

Oh well, off the read the book, this time uninterupted!

Dude, you have no idea. There's a HUGE amount of it. It's fucking scary. But I'll stop talking about it now.

And that's great that you found a copy online! I'll pass it along to a few of my other friends who haven't managed to buy it yet.

Ally, my MSN is in my profile now

like:

hey I can here voices in the school! * everybody thinks he's crazy*
HEY Voldemort is back * only some believe him*
hey Dr*** is a D******** stil noone believes him

LMAO I'm sure Ms. Rowling is VERY proud when she goes on the internet!

I can't add you yet because I'm on my work PC and not allowed MSN here, I'll add you when I get home, k?

Also, yeah, people should learn to freaking trust Harry's instincts. He's not always 100% right though. Like in Philosopher's Stone he thought Snape was out to get the stone, he was right that SOMEONE wanted it, but totally wrong about Snape.

I suppose if Harry was right all the time (and if people believed him all the time) the books wouldn't be nearly as interesting though

Finished reading it tonight I have only one thing to say about it and it's only KIND OF spoilery (but not really) so I'll space for it.

TEENY TINY SPOILER - I found it interesting how she took out the possibility of going back and "fixing" things with a time-turner. Inventing that bit of lore was probably something that she regretted somewhat in hindsight because I'm sure everyone says (whenever something awful or disasterous happens) "Why didn't they just use a time-turner?"

SPOILER FREE ZONE - As for the rest of it, I need to let it stew a bit.

I'm getting bored with Ron and Hermoine always fighting

Just finished it, and I can't figure out how to expess anyhting about it in words...

Spoilers:

I've never actually had to try and hold back tears from anything really before this, but when Dumbledore died, something snapped. He was the absolute symbol of dignity and kindness, even how he treated Draco when faced with the end. He was absolutely the best character, and one any person in the world would like to be like... it was like a switch, every time I heard "Phoenix song" or "Dumbledoor Dead" I just couldn't take it... I've been readign for about 7 hours straight to finish it, and it all seems as if some cruel dream that it's now over, and to those results. I mean, I expected it from the first book that at one point in this, Dumbledoor would die, but.... I suppose I got wrapped up in it... I connected with the characters, I saw how every one of them was going to feel, and sure enough they did. Pure rage against Snape, pure and simple rage, that may have been the biggest catalyst towards this reaction. "how could he have done that? He trusted him!" "Even Malfoy, who was the very meaning of the phrase "2-dimensional" until this book showed his quality.".
But then, no more than a few minutes ago it dawned on me the possibility that I was wrong again, as was Harry and everyone else... Snape didn't kill Dumbledoor against his wishes, he did so by his plead, his plead to save Draco. Dumbledoor knew he probably wouldn't last any longer. He knew he was old and weak, and that Harry knew what he needed to know. He also saw that there was no way out of the situation without losing one of his only hopes towards defeating Voldemort: his secret weapon, Snape. There would be no other way they could react. As soon as Snape found out about what was happening with the Death Eaters, he had no CHOICE but to go to Malfoy and Dumbledoor, because he had to protect Draco from a) the death eaters if he didn't kill Dumbledoor b) breaking his soul if he did somehow go through with it. When the four death eaters were around Draco, there was no other way Snape could save Draco from their wrath, other than by either killing/stopping all four of them, thus losing Voldemort's trust, of course, or by killing Dumbledoor, also saving Draco's soul in the process. A third option would be to somehow let Dumbledoor escape, but even then, even if it didn't get him killed by Voldemort, it would mean Dumbledoor would die, because the only one who could save him from the potion he drank was Severus...
So in conclusion, there was no other way to go through that whole situation. Dumbledoor saw it, he saw that that was the only option, and Snape probably did too, despite reluctance. So with Dumbledoor's final words, he pleaded Snape to kill him, so that everyone else's lives could be spared, and a chance to stop Voldemort was still theirs. It was the noblest thing to do for all parties, including Snape. Though I may hate him with an intesity I thought I only saved for Delores Umbridge, the thought that this was the noblest thing for Dumbledoor to do led me to this conclusion, and I think it has just the dramatic flair and human nature to be correct...

As for the rest of the book, what more is there to say? I was happy in the happy parts, sad in the sad parts, and disgruntled in the times when certain people were fighting. I think if I say anything more, it will only be a will merely detract from the feeling that book left.

These books may have started out as something cute that the "little ones" would enjoy, but I think we can all agree that it's turning into a story that is so much more... I hate to think of the possibility that there is only one book in the series. Even the thoughts that there will be fanfiction writers to carry on the legacy isn't comforting, as I know the story will be over soon, no matter how many chapters we tack on... However it may end, there won't be another climax that can be recreated by any fan.

Why these sorts of books aren't mandatory reads at schools, I don't know... So many more would be interested in reading if that were only the case...
