Oh, for crying out loud, people.
Did you catch the name of the books? Harry Potter and the ____?
Yeah, that's right.
Sadly, that means that there's no time to worship and mourn Snape, Severus-fans. There's no chance to see Tonks and Lupin die, R/T shippers. There's no way to watch Ginny do anything exciting, Ginny-lovers/haters/shippers/etc.
Yeah, I felt a little robbed too. I wanted to see Ginny kick ass. I wanted more on Snape. I was very upset to see Tonks and Lupin both go.
BUT IT'S A HARRY POTTER BOOK. IF HARRY WASN'T THERE, THEN WE DON'T GET TO SEE IT.
If I see one more post about "JKR totally disrespected us Snape fans the way she had him die" or "What did JKR think she was doing, killing off Tonks and Lupin" or "How dare JKR kill off one of the twins", I think I'm going to scream.
JKR is writing books about HARRY POTTER. Yes, one of the strengths of her series would be the wonderful characters she creates. Yes, I felt robbed. Yes, I agree - somewhat.
But you're not entitled to a weepy funeral for Severus/Fred/whomever. So please, stop acting like they are. Because the books aren't about those other characters.
SHEESH.
I seriously, honestly, truly think that the HP fandom as a whole has ruined this book for itself.
