Harry Potter and His Confused Reader
Yes.
It has happened again.
I read a Harry Potter book, and I end it most confused.
It's worse this time, though, because this is the last book, and if I can't tie the strings together, then damn.
I found a number of things confused me, all due to the fact that I had forgotten or did not know some things, and to tame a need to rant I will list some:
> Lily's Patronus
> details of the night Dumbledore died
> details of talks Harry had with Dumbledore, specifically about Horcruxes
> how Draco Malfoy became the "Master" of the Elder Wand
> how Harry then became the "Master," etc.
I know there's more, but I can't quite remember just now...
I've also discovered a certain jealousy towards Harry and Co. and J.K. Rowling.
Harry, etc. because they get to experience the story.
Rowling because she controls it.
It makes me want to become a great author of a Fantasy Series which raises my Riches past those of the Queen, or perhaps the victim in a "Stranger Than Fiction" scenario.
And, before I forget...
Happy Birthday to said Hero, Harry Potter!
