HP7 Review [SPOiLERS]

[neoyi]

I remember entering the world of Harry Potter as a middler schooler in her 8th year, having needed to read the first book in our English class. Having been exposed to the boy wizard, I have since kept up with it throughout the years and have now been graced with the seventh and final chapter detailing the life of the boy who lived. Now after

dude I allways love you reviews ^_^

and how about remus? , like he was one of my faves male characters since the third book , but here he was acting like an ass , besides his relationship whit tonks for me was always like bleh

[neoyi]

I wanted to smack him when he refused to side with Tonks and her unborn child. That said, his death with Tonks I just felt was SO wasted and unneeded.

[tavalya_ra]

I'm glad Harry did give him the verbal smackdown, but he felt unauthentic as a fount of this wisdom. Tonks needed more development all around- because of the lack of it, I had little opinion about the relationship.

[neoyi]

*nods* I never could get into Lupin/Tonks because I also felt it came out of the blue, I just felt angry with Lupin that this rather patient teacher from Book Three turned into a hardcore jerk for that brief moment. It seemed so un-Lupin of him to do so.

While I liked Dudley making a token gesture to Harry, it came out of nowhere and was hard to swallow. Some development, please and thank you? Hedwig's death jolted me as well. I seriously could not believe she offed the owl. I was so sad. Meanwhile, I barely knew Mad-Eye enough for his death to be more than a blimp or a passing thought of, "aw, man, that guy was cool!"

While certain chapters remained more important then others, the main trio constantly running away from Voldemort and his bosom buddies soon turned tedious and I kept wanting the book to move on with the bloody plot, crying out when the HELL they will get to a bloody Horcrux already.Yes! Rowling spent far too much time on this and then, at the end, they were just getting Horcruxes like boom boom boom. I didn't like that, especially since I had been anticipating Harry and Company having to solve and foil elaborate traps like the one guarding the false locket in HBP. Why the hell didn't Voldemort have a trap like that for each Horcrux? Making him think the diadem would be

"While I liked Dudley making a token gesture to Harry, it came out of nowhere and was hard to swallow. Some development, please and thank you?"

I wanted some, too, but I think it was just a secret desire of mine's that Harry and the Dursleys would patch up in SOME way. Out of all the people, I had assumed it'd be Petunia, but she had years to accept the wizarding world, so she's had her chance. In the end, I am glad it was Dudley. I think a boy Harry's age, the one who gave him the most physical abuse ultimately learned to somewhat accept him.

"Meanwhile, I barely knew Mad-Eye enough for his death to be more than a blimp or a passing thought of, "aw, man, that guy was cool!"

I didn't care for Moody either. I was more shocked on two deaths so ridiculously early in the story, is all.

[tavalya_ra]

I can't say I actively desired a patch up with Harry and the Dursleys, but I feel like it would have made more sense and added something to the book- it did, but it felt a tad tacked on. And I would have guessed Petunia, too. I like Dudley, but I couldn't see where he had made the leap to liking Harry and that made it ring false.

I approve of the early deaths! It's war, people, it's hell. More should have dropped! ('Course, you know how I can get. Once I kill one person off in a story, I've got to take out at least three more!)

[neoyi]

My deaths in stories are more poetic and symbolic, so to speak. Though depending on how the story goes, more people could die...I'm currently talking about Chess Piece more so then anything, but it applies to most of what I write.

Neville's grandmother is badass. I thought that was really great, and of course, Mrs' Weasley too. XD I didn't realize how much I liked Luna either.

AAHAHA. Oh man, YES! It's exactly like 02, except not as bad, because 02 had EVERYONE you knew paired for you! GOD. I. HATE. THAT. EW. And it's not just because of my ships, it's so unrealistic that everyone would have a matching pair in the group (and not ONE would be m/m or f/f?) and they'd all have kids. That ending never happens. :( ew.

We know how his rivalry with Draco ends. Sex. :D --*kicked* Big Harry/Draco shipper here! Hahaha. I really don't like Ginny either, and I also love Ron/Hermione (which was REALLY cute in this book, aw). I took Draco's nod at the end to mean "same time, same place?" and laughed.

I thought Fred was the one that got his ear cut off?

I didn't like the endlougue either. It also reminded me of that stupid 25 years later thing in Digimon 02. I wanted Tai to be with Sora and I didn't care for Ken/Yolei. Sora soo took Mimi's job. Also, Matt as an astronaut. WTF?! Anyway, getting back to topic...

That scene with the Dursley was also touching to me. So sweet they try to patch up before they never see each other again.

I didn't think Harry talking before killing Voldemort was cheesy. It was one of my most favorite parts in the book. He made Voldemort realize his mistakes too late and then kill him.

Frankly, while I can see Ron and Hermoine, I STILL am irritated by Harry/Ginny. I don't like Ginny. She had remarkable potential in early books, but her whole entire personality (good Quidditch player, brave and courageous, able to put Harry in his place when others can't) is just screaming Mary Sue. Not to mention I still felt Harry's sudden and random crush on her in Book 6 was completely out of nowhere. It didn't

Me Nikil BTW. Forgot to add that again. -_-;;

"I'm also a Hermione and Ron fan too. ^_^"

I'm not a Ron/Hermione fan.
