Neville is my KING, yo.
After a huge amount of sleep, I fixed my brain & am now ready to ramble.
[ramble]
Things that were shiny;
A/G = OTP yes, yes, yes.
Ron's humor.
Ron coming back.
The story of the Three Brothers.
Dumbledoor's past.
Snapes memories.
Neville's courage - possibly one of the best things for me in this book.
The epic feel of the DA rising up. against Voldemort.
Hagrid still being alive.
The catfight with Molly & Belatrix.
The epilouge that made me feel fluffy.
Things that were not shiny;
Hedwig dying.
Fred dying.
Snape dying.
REMUS DYING!!! - although, he is with Sirius now so.. that's shiny.
Dobby dying.
Colin dying.
As for more rambling;
Oh, Remus.
First off, I don't hate Remus/Tonks. I fully believe that he did love her - weather he was in love with her remains a different matter - & loved his son - beacause, OMG BABYREMUS = WIN. But, he didn't seem completely happy with her, he was miserable in fact & I just... -breakes-.
The Remus & Harry fight was pretty much awesome because, we've never really seen Remus angry before & I was in love. I can just imagine him getting that angry after Sirius got sent to Azkaban & James & Lily died. That's how I imagine him to be in that time period.
Remus DYING. I had to read that over & over, I refused to belive it. But you know, there's one bit of hope in him dying. & it is the fact that he is no longer the last one standing. He was the last one of the mauraders -except Peter, but he's one pathetic SOB anyway, & also dead now- & he's happy with them again. -coughSIRIUScough-
When Harry brought back the marauders, I died. I was already broken but Remus & Sirius just reassuring him took alll the little pieces & broke them all over again. Seriously, I died. But, now Remus & Srius are together again & can be in luuuuuurrrve. Yes. & Harry asking "Does it hurt?" just... my brian decieded to cave in right about then.
Dumbledoor/Grindlewald = OTP of this book. They just screamed hot summer love to me & I want those fics, right now.
Neville, Neville, Neville. Why must you be so awesome? I was so in love with that boy in this book. His courage was just was huge & the way he was just passing off everything he did like it was nothing - carrying on the army, standing up to the Carrows - he's so... GAH. I can't even.
Snape's memories were so cool. I knew he wasn't evil & the fact that he was in love with Lily just broke me yet again. I just wanted to hug him or something. Poor broken little boy. Also, Sirius being in a memory made me grin - coz I'm a hopeless fangirl like that.
The final fight was a little talky but I am on the side that thinks it worked. I loved how Harry was calling him by his real name, stripping him down to what he really was - a lost little boy who went very, very bad.
& although I don't really particulally like Harry/Ginny or Ron/Hermione, I did like the ending & it made me feel all fluffshiny inside. Professor Longbottom FTW!
Godfather!Harry made me smile.
Also? I want the Albus Severus/Scorpius fics. Now.
More generations in the fandom is a GOOD thing. Indeed.
& this
"Sometimes I think we sort too soon."
pretty much made my life.
