Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Under the cut, under the cut! Spoilers under the cut!
Plot:
So, there is a large part of me that wants Voldemort to win, simply because it doesn’t seem like it should happen. And for a while, I thought I might be right. I wasn't, however, and I feel a little dissapointed in JKR, especially after her epilogue! Blurg...
However, Alexander feels the book will start “I’m richer than the Queen, I can’t be arsed!” Again, at time it seemed like she couldn't be arsed. See: epilogue
We need to find out something about Lily, and part of me thinks that it might have to do with how good she was a potions, possibly a job, or Snape fancied her skills, or something. I was right! He does fancy her! Oh, heavens above, how cliched! "I loved Lily so much..." Notice how Harry never, ever, is revoulted by the idea. Or reacts to it? He just goes on about how he has to die etc. DULL!
I don’t think Lupin will die, simply because to kill him off is a little cliched. Harry has lost all father figures, it’s kinda getting silly. “Oh, Sirius is your father figure? DIE! You like Dumbledore? DIE!!!! Mr Weasley?… Almost die!” ... Well. I was wrong. JK has become that cliched. And doesn't seem to care that much, either. There was no mourning! He was my favourite...
I’m hoping the Malfoy’s will get away with everything, simply because I don’t want the book to be all “All the bad will be punished!” and it would be awesome to see the gloating from the family after the war finished. It seems they did! Huzzah!
It would be nice to see Percy come back to the side of light… or at least to gloat when darkness wins. I was right! Yay, I was right! "I've been a fool!" Percy is AWESOME!
I want some more Marauders! Well... they were in the book. Kinda counts, right?
Ships:
If she kills my Tonks/Lupin love, I will kill her. They got married, had a multi-coloured werewolf baby, and died. I think I'm going to kill her!
Ron/Hermione. Some grown up affection, though I doubt we’ll see any romance. They were in it. We got one kiss, but I was right, no actual romance!
The wedding between Fleur and Bill? Yup yup yup!
That’s about it.
Judgement:
Those who I think will die:
Snape tick!
Voldemort (alas)tick!
Bellatrix tick!
Luna?
Neville YAY! Neville lives! Woot!
At least one Weasley. tick! But woe! I was hoping it would be Ginny. Alas for fred, the dead. And lack of funeral scene too!
Cho (please?!?)
Peter tick!
Seamus or Dean. A close friend who wasn’t too important. No! They lived! Wow!
Harry? Only if Voldemort wins. Kinda obvious. tick! In a fashion. He kinda died, then came back due to a really stupid loophole.
Ron, I think. If a member of the trio dies, it will be Ron. Thankfully, I was wrong.
Lavender tick! Well, she was eaten by a werewolf, that kinda counts.
One Patil twin.
In conclusion, I liked it, but it could have done with about two more chapters at the end, and a new epilogue.
