i've been dying to talk about the sixth book for a few days now. none of my friends have read it and since the harry potter message boards are a pain in the butt... lol. anywho- i agree and disagree with different parts of your wonderfully written review of the sixth book, missers. i felt like the love stories were a little too much like filler also but i think j.k. had a good reason for putting them in there. i have a feeling it'll be big in the seventh book or that she was trying to make a theme of love through out the book since dumbledore said it was the only power voldemort didn't have and it'll be harry's bigest weapon. so i think harry is going to need ginny in the seventh book to defeat voldemort as well as ron and hermione. i think the whole harry not going back to school was an awesome twist at the end there. i hate that harry and ginny broke up but i saw it comin. as much as i saw dumbledore's death coming i still cried the whole last fifty pages of the book. the weirdest part is i could totally see like a movie scene playing in my head during that whole part- isn't that so much fun when that happens? so the sixth book was probably my fav book just because it was cool seeing everything start to come together (come on- we have so been waiting for the ron+hermione and harry+ginny hook ups for who knows how long) and there was just something kinda special about it to me. anywho- this post was way too long but i jsut needed to get this out there. luv ya and i can't wait till i finally update on your stories!

luv ya, Steph

PS: was it me or did the book seem not as well edited as the others? maybe i'm just getting better at catching grammar mistakes...

it wasn't as well edited. It sucked in that aspect, too.

I don't think it sucked as much as it jsut kinda disturbed the "harmony" of the book. (do i sound like a highschool english teacher or what? lol)

I sitll really liked the book, I jsut think there were a few thigns J.K. should have spent more time on.

Steph! *huggles*

You make a good point with the over all conception of love being a theme in the book; I never thought of it that way. But I do agree with you that Ginny will play a big role with Harry in the last book. I'm so curious as to what kind of role (can she really take it out completely?) Hogwarts will play in 7. I did read in an interview that we won't have another Quidditch scene - Luna's wonderfully comical comentation was our last one. *sigh*

Ahh, I do know what you mean! I can definitely see this book in movie form. Too bad, it'll still be a couple years till we get there...

Luv ya, darling! *huggles n cookies*

I agree that J.K. can't completely take hogwarts out of the picture. I mean... it's Hogwarts! the center of every single previous book! But i read that same interview where she said that Luna's commentary would eb the last quidditch game. Did you also read that Harry's eyes will be a major part in the seventh book? I jsut can't wait to find out more about Harry's past in the seventh when he goes back to godric's hollow. I also want know if lily being a potions wiz will come into play and if maybe she got help from snape... anywho- i have so many ideas bouncing in my head right now i jsut want the seventh book to come out tomorrow so i can put my mind to rest! I'm such a dork that i'm actually going through and rereading all six books to catch anything that i might have missed. yes, yes- i'm an official harry potter dork but i'm proud of it! lol. anywho- this post is long enough. ciao!

luv ya, Steph
