175 reasons why I HATE Deathly Shallows!

Make sure you guys get your drinks and snacks before one sits down to read, as this is gonna be a long 'un, filled with the delightful combination of snark, sarcasm, rage, bitterness, and all that shiny stuff!! :D

We'll go (mostly) chapter-by-chapter, then at the end I've got a running list of more general issues with the book. After that, perhaps

True - I didn't even think of that! I just kind of figured more on there being no 13 just because so many think it's unlucky, since there's lots of buildings with no 13th floor, ect.

I'd always thought of it as tapping those specific bricks! :D
Hmm, I tried applying your logic, but I hit a *new* problem - how would they know which bricks, if the whole *thing* is a brick wall? Magic intuition? *is even more annoyed about the slip-ups, now*

Exactly! I got pretty deep into it, and actually considered putting the book down and going to bed! But then I thought "Dude - this is the last Harry Potter ! Can't fail now! Gotta be on top of the game for the coming wank!". I really wish I had, in retrospect - I can't think of a worse 32 hours of being awake, after 8ish hours of reading and spending the rest alternating between sobbing and cruising the internets to add my rage.

I'm glad people are still finding fun in reading my skewering of the henceforth titled Dudley Swallows! There's more, if you're interested - I believe most of the newer ones have tags now, though most of my older musings are still lacking. Lollers at your icon, too - as a math anti-savant, it made me think of my icon! XD
