My childhood has come to an end
I went to work Saturday morning. There was a SHIT LOAD of dishes to do and...I got to do 'em! Woo hoo! All of the leftover food filth and dried up crap on people's plates all greasy and smelly...for me! I did a few things and then Josh said I needed to come out of the dish hole to do cashier work.
I got home and started reading HP7 at 5:30 and with the exception of a dinner break, about 6 bathroom breaks, and an aspirin break, I read it for 10 hours. I finished the book around 3:30.
My thoughts:
Spoilers! Be Warned
I loved the first chapter- great way to start the book. I loved how Voldemort fed the Prof. to his snake. That thrilled me in a sort of Stephen King-kind of way.
I do like how Dudley was nice to Harry as he left the house. Not kissing cousins of course, but nice.
I have to admit; the whole thing was a page turner. I thought I would read 5 or 6 chapters today and then dig away at it for the next few days, but I kept reading.
I cried when George lost an ear, but smiled when he and Fred started cracking jokes about it. True blue characters; my favorites.
I didn't care for the long drawn out we gotta know where we're going...those parts bored me. Of course, I thought it was great when Lupin almost like..."wand"slapped Harry at Grimmauld Place? I don't know, but that was a good, much needed exchange between the two.
Okay.
Petunia was going to be a witch? Huh? Seemed sort of thrown in there.
I sobbed when Fred died. I had to put down the book and bury my face in my pillow for about five minutes. I just remember 'Sorcerer's Stone' where Molly tells Fred to go onto the platform and he says, "Honestly woman, you call yourself our mother? I'm George" and she apologizes, then before he runs into the wall he admits, "Only joking. I am Fred."
That made me love the Weasley twins more than any other characters.
I was very sad that Tonks and Lupin died. I loved Tonks because I saw a little bit of me in her as well as the twins. I liked the idea that she and Lupin could raise a little baby and just be happy. Of course... didn't work out.
WHY THE LONG EXPLANATION ENDINGS, JK? Just let Harry kill Riddle!! If I was Harry, I would have killed the son of a bitch and not explained anything. I would have explained the story afterwards... WHY THE LONG DELAYS?!?!??!!?
I loved it when Molly Weasley screamed, "BITCH" at Bellatrix- further proof that my mother, if any Potter character, is Mrs. Weasley. When her children are in danger, swear words will escape her lips. XD That was my mother, through and through. I could even hear her saying those words.
NEVILLE HAD THE SWORD!!!! YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! NEVILLE PULLED THE SWORD OUT!!! FUCK YES!!! WINNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! I FUCKING LOVE NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!!!!!YESSSHSEOSIIHSOIJAF;SLDIJF4903UW4TOIWEJDF!!!
Okay.
19 years later...couldn't it have been one page where maybe Harry strolls out and sits down next to his wonderful little nephew and says, "I've got a story for you, kiddo..." or something like that. Did it have to be ABSOLUTE CLOSURE? I don't need to know that Harry happily had three kids. I don't need to know that Ron and Hermione finally fucked. I don't need to know that Draco Malfoy named his son for one of the two "negative" signs of the Zodiac- does he have an older brother named Capricorn? WTF. But apparently, Bill and Fleur have a daughter named Victoire to tempt dear little Ted Lupin. Again. WTF.
I can see why she did it. So people can happily know that Harry does lead a normal life after the seven years of...abnormalities and weird occurrences and crazy adventures.
Snape.
Snape.
I love that character so much.
I feel like such an ass for doubting him.
Will you forgive me, Severus?
Overall....favorite Harry Potter book. Loved it from start to finish. I'll read it again, that's how much I like it.
Now that I have completed all seven books of the Harry Potter series, my childhood has officially come to an end.
Good night.
