RIP FRED WEASLEY

*sobs hysterically*

Anyway, I'm try to address this in the order you wrote it, after I say this: I seriously think I cried throughout the whole book.

I HATE the Ressurrection Stone. It just seems to contradict everything JKR has said about not being able to bring the dead back to life. That's why I never believed the "leaked" copies, because they all had that damned stone.

What I hated about the Horcruxes was that more than halfway through the book, they only had the diary (destroyed), the ring (destroyed), Harry (but he didn't know) and the locket. It pissed me off. And I HATED that jab at the H/Hr shippers when Ron destroyed the locket. I also hated all the sweet H/Hr moments, only to have them crash and burn in flaming carnage in that pathetic excuse for an epilogue. And I HATED that Ron ditched them.

I didn't like that Snape and Lily were friends. I liked that he loved her, and I liked that he knew her in childhood, but I didn't like them being friends. Lily and "Sev" being best friends creeped me out. And - though it was cute that Snape took it - I HATED Lily's Patronus. Why? Because it matched James's. The Potters have matching Patronuses. Oh em gee. *dead from cliche*

And, in closing, the final battle PWNED. Neville PWNED. Neville is f--king KICKASS. I bawled my way through those chapters. And I love how it seems that Remus is unhappily married. *is a Sirius/Remus shipper*

*hugs and mourns Fred with you*

I liked the idea of the ressurrection stone, just not from her and I agree that it contradicted JK so much.

See, I thought that the Horcruxes progessed well, or at least they progressed sufficiently. I'm an R/Hr shipper but I agree that she was kinda mean to H/Hr shippers. Ron running away pissed me off too.

I agree, I thought their friendship was a little creepy. I think it would have been more plausable if Snape just loved Lily from afar, a very unrequited thing. And the patronus cliche was just painful.

Aww poor Reums LOL! But Neville did kick ass :)

The epilogue jsut seemed like JKR saying a big "EFF YOU" to fanfic writers/lovers.

YOU'RE A R/HR SHIPPER?! *FEELS BETRAYED* WHY??

OMG, can you not SEE how horrible they are for each other? Look - I'm not trying to convince you, but you have to admit, this essay has some nuggets of truth in it - Click.
