Hmmm...how do I write about this book without giving away all of the sad and great moments. I give them away, since the people who read this blog have already read the book - mostly.
Lupin and Tonks? That seemed too cruel and stupid especially since Rowling didn't deem them worthy enough of their own death scenes. Lupin should have been given a better literary burial than Harry simply seeing him dead on the Great Hall floor.
Lupin, I hope that "bitch" Bellatrix didn't get you and I hope you gave that ass Greyback a run for his fresh meat. Thanks for watching out for Harry and Teddy snogs some girl when he's 18. Just so you know.
Tonks, why the hell didn't you stay with your mother and Teddy? That was bad form, I hope you learned a lesson.
Dobby, my dear friend and free house elf - to you I say a sad farewell. I couldn't stand in you in The Chamber of Secrets, but grew to love you in the subsequent books. You were brave, loyal, and the best of all of the magical creatures.
Snape, I knew you were good and loved Lily. Shame on you for not declaring it to her and instead calling her a "mudblood." Why the hell didn't you defend yourself against LV? Rowling really fouled up your death. Sorry - you deserved better.
Mad-eye, you died the way you would have wanted to, but it hurt me nonetheless. I hope you haunt Umbridge for the rest of her "life." Damn her for taking your eye.
Fred, you died laughing. I suppose this is how it should be, but you should come back as a ghost and help Peeves wreak havoc for Filch. Also, George will miss you, find a way to come back and at least bring the spirit back to general tomfoolery in the wizarding world.
Hedwig, at least you're not a gold fish and won't be flushed down the toilet. I wish you many mail carrying days of bliss in the magical afterlife.

Amen to all of that! I agree with your feelings about Tonks and Lupin--those two deaths were especially infuriating. My big problem with JK is the loose ends she left. Whatever happened to Luna? Dean? The Weasley family? I liked seeing Harry, Ron and Hermione as their older selves, but why didn't she mention the other important people? Who raised Teddy? How on earth did the sword of Gryffindor get back to the castle? Just because Neville needed it? And this one is really significant: what on earth did Harry, Hermione and Ron do for the rest of their lives? Neville was a teacher at Hogwarts; why weren't the others? Were they all working at the Ministry? Was Harry the Minister? Was Hermione an Auror? Was Ron something special?
Mostly, I'm just sad that the story is over. :( I want more Harry Potter adventures. But alas, I knew it would end after book 7. I should get over it. I wonder how all the HP actors reacted when they read book 7 and found out how they all ended up? I can't wait to see it all in film!
i love you! Nicely said! ;)
Nic~ JK did an interview and told all their jobs - the boys were aurors and hermione headed up some other dept.
OK - OK - Ok! I have to read these books. Blah.(and I only mean Blah in the most sacred way that you, P. and Nic all think of Harry Potter.) I will get to it...soon. Mayber after we all graduate.
