I think it would be nice to have a central place where we could put all the media reviews, our own reviews, and confirmations of spoiler information people like Roxy were kind enough to post in the first place. I haven't pre-ordered the book (an action I'm bitterly regretting now, caught up in the HP fever as always!) and I just hope Mira will will

Draco and Snape are, I believe, red herrings; there is reason to suspect both of them as DEs, though for various reasons I feel they will both be redeemed. Most will enjoy Harry's obsession with Draco and Snape's highly ambiguous morality, not to mention the fact that Draco seems to be unable to cast an Avada.
It's nice to know that Snarry and H/D shippers will still have something to look forward, if nothing else. And I'm glad Snape and Draco's affiliations are still ambiguous, since I'll seriously give up in disgust if all the Slytherins (besides a token "nice" character, perhaps) end up being EVOL no matter how many chances the saintly Gryffindors hand over to them.
...And I betcha that Draco's inability to cast the Big One will be treated with much more contempt that Harry's inability to cast Crucio. Call it a hunch, if you will.
Lord Voldemort's history is indeed revealed, which could have been very ( ... )

...And Marietta is still marked-up by Hermione's awful curse? Jesus, learn to let GO of things, JKR! This whole glorification-of-a-traitor's-comeuppance bent she's got going on is pretty horrific in and of itself!

And ugh, of course Cho has to feel guilty for breaking up with Harry. If she didn't we wouldn't know Harry Stu really was the perfect boyfriend for Ginny Sue, would we?
...JKR seriously is writing along the lines of OBHWF, isn't she? Jesus, you'd think she'd shade at least a little towards the less predictable in the written romantic relationships. Just a little, y'know. Throw the femmeslashers or alt shippers a bone or something. Euugh!

(...Btw... is Luna shipped with anybody? Because if she hooks up with someone equally adorable-- like Zacharias Smith!-- I will just die of absolute adoration for JKR, despite everything else. No seriously, I will. I'd be willing to forgive her for even Ginny!)

And Luna and Zacharias = crazy, sexy good times as far as I'm concerned! She's spacy and gently detached from common sense; he's bitter, bitchy and skeptical-- like Draco, but less homicidal. How is that a couple anyone can resist! It's just as well she's not in Harry Stu's orbit any longer, I suppose. There ( ... )

BWHAHAHA. Oh, I like you!
Of course Neville's mum wouldn't have. Alice and Frank wouldn't have wanted to die for their patently inferior son because he's just not as worthy of love as Harry. (They probably would have died for Harry himself, though.) And they weren't as giving and warm as Lily. Plus they were plump. Bastards! No wonder they end up crazy, it's all they deserve.

I loved Fleur before but after this book I have I feeling I'll be building shrines.

And Fleur is a saint to put up with all the shit that she does from the rancid female parts of the Weasley family-- she really is. Ginny and her mother are bitches of the same feather, I swear!

Ginny needs a good spanking. And not the "fun" kind.
