Harry Potter Spoilers!!!!!!
So, I haven't written in a while, as my internet sucks. But here we go.
I'm not ashamed to say that I stood in line for Harry Potter for two hours to get the book the first night it came out. And the next day, I read that thing in twelve hours. I clocked it. From exactly 9:00 a.m. to 9:07 p.m.
It was, by far, her best book and I'm very content with the way it ended, although I'm sure Brendan is pissed.
There were many times when I was worried that she would turn it sappy/corny/stupid, because I could see it heading in that direction easily if it had been written by anyone else. However, she always managed to save it and to turn it into something beautiful and unexpected.
I also have to point out that if you were not a Wolfstar shipper before now, this book is practically all the proof you need.
Lupin does, in fact, marry Tonks. But both the reader and the characters ponder over whether he was just bullied into it. He says himself that "marrying Tonks was a mistake" and he almost leaves them. He never ONCE seems excited, except when they have a baby. And that was only one tiny demonstration of enthusiasm. And during the whole book, whenever something dangerous or exciting was happening, Tonks was always chasing him around to make sure he was all right. Never EVER the other way around. He didn't give a rat's ass. (sidebar---I was very disappointed with the Tonks in the movie.)
And in the end, despite the fact that Tonks dies, also, I feel content knowing that while she's in the afterlife searching for Remus, he's somewhere beautiful with Sirius.
Now, for the movie--when Sirius died, who appears out of nowhere to hold Harry back and calm him down? Who appears at this pivotal point when the room is full of members of the Order, and anyone could have done it? REMUS. Remus and Harry are together in Sirius's death.
Also, I nearly started crying right before Sirius died and he accidentally said to Harry, "Good one, James!" . . . and Harry just looked up and smiled.
HP is beautiful stuff.
I'm just sad it's all over.
