Done

laitaine2004 finished it Sunday. I had to take a day off from work.

But I finally finished the thing...

So here's my note to Steve Kloves:

(or Michael Goldenberg, or whoever else ends up writing the script for Deathly Hallows)

I wondered if I was the only one who felt I was being beat about the head with the biblical Harry/Dumbledore as God/Jesus. I had a tremendous sense of deja vous while I was reading it and just couldn't for the life of me remember what it reminded me of. but of course that was because it was *every* pesudo-biblical allegorical scene.

I LOVED Harry's march to his death - one of the best scenes in the book and I so hope that the director is good enough to pull it off. It has the potential to be so powerful on screen.

The Ron pissy-fit was too much like the Ron pissy-fit in Goblet. really, I felt no sympathy for him there so I hope that's another scene that's fixed in the movies.

Gringotts was totally a D&D scene (wonder if it was scripted by actually playing it out like the Dragonlance writers would do) - complete with plot holes, inconsistencies, random magic and an incomplete ending.

I did not like Dobby and couldn't care a whit if he lived or died . . . but it was a wonderful death scene and everyone's reaction definitely pulled at the heartstrings. Problem is that such a death SHOULD have been reserved for, say Lupin or Fred or, hell, Hedwig. Ya know, someone important that we actually cared about.

I wish there had been more about Regulus. There was so much build up in the prior books and then nothing, just an - oh yeah, he died, anyway . . . . He struck a major blow against Voldy, tried to protect his family and sacrificed himself for a house elf. Could he at least get a bit of credit for that?

Go Kreacher!

I think we need Alfonso Cuarón or Mike Newell back for this one... not sure that David Yates can handle it...
