I'm jealous that you were able to collect your thoughts together as neatly as this! The best I can do is respond to random entries with different reactions. Anyway, I think that this is my new favourite book, too. I love that it never dragged on and it could be so funny at times. "It was almost like having friends." And, of course, Harry's sass just about killed me at all times.
I also found Remus/Tonks really inappropriate. It felt a little like JK Rowling was starting to throw random couples in the book just for the hell of it. No thanks. It doesn't help that I can't stand Tonks, though she was certainly less annoying in this book.
I also felt the window of opportunity for Draco redemption close, and it broke my heart into a million pieces. I really, really liked Draco in this one.
Well, mostly my thoughts were like this and this until I slept and had time to translate them into real sentences. I tried to make notes of stuff I wanted to remember, but about halfway through the book I gave up because it was taking me forever to read when I was stopping to write hilarious quotes. I am sure I have left out half of the things that I was really excited about.
I'm pretty much fine with Draco being redeemed or not being redeemed, though my preference is for the latter. Still, it seems like this was his big stumble, and his crossroads. Then the Death Eaters butted in, which could perhaps be symbolic. Now I am reading far too much into things, and I will probably be wrong because I feel so sure about this. I am always wrong about the things I am sure of, and right about the things that I think I am being dumb about.
I wish that I had taken notes, but I was at my friend's house. I think, in lieu of that, we made as much fun of everything as possible. Like, "You know, Tom Riddle seems slightly more handsome now than he was two pages ago. Thanks for the update, JKR!" I feel bad now for making as much fun of Harry for his Malfoy obsession as I did, because he was absolutely right with every accusation. So scary.
Even Dumbledore kept pointing out how handsome Tom Riddle was. What are we to take from this? Are we supposed to realise 'being bad never felt so good'?
