Made it!

Here they are, (finally and after much much cursing. -_-) This is my way of showing how much I pay attention to Ms Rowling's books. Book 7 is going to be so fucking huge and my anticipation levels are probably WAY to high for a 23yr old man.
But it's like a friend of mine said, we are at a moment in time to witness the end of an iconic legend. I'm

Did you ever get a score from the Leaky quiz? :\ I thought we would get one, but never did ... and no, I am never sharing my answers with anyone because I'm embarrassed by them. :p

Really didn’t. Which is disappointing. *nods* When I went back to the quiz page, like a week after DH came out, it was still up. The Quiz was still set up so you could still fill in answers, (/ cheat.) The hell? Gee great organization there people.

Okay, I think your predictions win way more than mine did. Damn you. :p I fully thought Ginny would follow Harry out of Hogwarts, but you kinda called that one. ^^ I pwned you a bit with number 2, but number 3, you TOTALLY pwned me! I never, ever would have thought Harry would return to Grimmauld Place. That really surprised me - good call. :) You pwned with 6 as well.

Harry going back to Hogwarts, that one messed with my head. So much that I was going back and forth on it every day. According to my own adding powers, (including answers I‘ve deemed ½ ) it comes to just over half correct.

I think we were both a bit right with Dumbledore. He 'came back' in a more real way than the portrait ... but it was in Harry's head. :p But Dumbledore did have an obsession with defeating death so ... yeah, you were still more right, I guess. ><

I don't think I was, in the sense that he would never want to defeat death...That came as a surprise but I liked it. It showed Dumbledore as human, and that once again he can make mistakes. And I literally cheered when Dumbledore appeared with Harry at Kings Cross.

11 - not so cracky! *grin* It happened, in a way. ^^

Mm, I have to say Draco’s actions surprised me a bit. I did like the scene at the start, where he’s just sort of looking at the floating body in the middle of the table, I think he struggled within himself throughout DH’s. I only wish we got to see more of it. One part I was a little confused on was after Harry saved him from the fire in the room of requirement. You’d think he’d have tried to leave, or hide, rather than fight on any which side, however, he appear to come down the stairs after Harry.

Why?

Was it to help him or to hinder him? I think my brain was a little fuzzed at that point, so much was going on. I choose to believe, from the epilogue that the hatred between Draco and Harry no longer exists. That as adults they are civil to one another, when meetings between them are required. The curt nod, signified to me, that they’ll acknowledge one another, but certainly won’t be organizing family picnics together.

12 - Sorry, I need to crow about this one. I was so right, and I think we're both glad you were wrong, yes? :D

Yes but the more I think about it…the less Ginny had to do in this book. It makes me like her character less. O.o Her role in this was minimalised to the point of where she was almost not needed. Sort of like a slap in the face for Ginny/ Harry shippers. So Ginny kisses Harry on his birthday…what are we supposed to take from that? Okay, we know they still like each other and yearn to be together. I suppose it was giving us hope. But then we get nothing for a long time. Ginny’s trying to keep up the resistance at Hogwarts, Harry’s focussed on the horcruxes/ DH’s.

Then there’s the battle of Hogwarts, where the only real H/ G we get is when an inviable Harry walks by, resisting the urge to turn back. It’s a good, if not, depressing scene but I honestly expected more. On that note, I’m disappointed. Even if they did hook up in the end, we missed out on that! Hell we missed out of nineteen years of characters getting together, going into careers and having children.
