Thanks for linking to this! And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed the whole dumping-the-redhead-at-the-funeral similarity. What, she was out of ideas and watched Spider-Man for inspiration?
Gotta dump Ginny but Ron and Hermione can go with him...because Harry doesn't give a shit if Voldemort uses them against him, I guess. *rolls eyes, burns copy of book*
What *hasn't* she watched for inspiration? It seems as though anything in this book that made even remote sense had been lifted from some movie or TV Show. Or Dickens, which is almost worse, if you ask me.
The only thing I liked about this book is that Harry stopped being eternally pissed off at the world, which was the theme of the last book. Instead we got 'Humdy-dum, I don't have a plot, but here's a lot of backstory with a death at the end just to give people something to talk about. Oh, and sex.' You could literally summarize the last two books in a couple of chapters at the beginning of book 7 and then hopefully go on to something happening. Grr.

The whole 'Gaunt' thing drove me nuts.

I'll be waiting for book Seven to "reveal" that Snape is the Ultimate Bad-ass. And then for Snape-y spin-offs.
