More Deathly Hallows, because this book gives me more pleasant stomach-knots than what I've got now*

So I'm rereading Deathly Hallows, and I've got a few things I've noticed, just little thoughts:

( Cut just in case (seriously, who HASN'T read it yet?) )

God, Deathly Hallows was such a beautiful, beautiful book. I can't stop raving about it, but at the same time, I can't bring myself to reread it yet. It's like...I'm trying to preserve what it was like to read it the first time without knowing what is going to happen next. And preserving the fact that I am reading the LAST book, for the first time, and that when I reread it, it will finally set it in that it IS the last book, and there is nothing left to ever read ( ... )

That's why it took me so long to read it in the first place - I couldn't bear to end the series, and I was convinced that no matter how good it was, I'd be disappointed. God, was I wrong. I'm still a little broken-hearted over the fact that it's over, but I'm getting better about it. Rereading is hard, though, because every line that a doomed character speaks wrenches at your heart - everything Fred says makes me laugh and then nearly cry ( ... )

Oh, and I'm definitely going to check out some of that fic on your list. Thanks. :D

I hope you like it! Most of the fics are Post-Hogwarts and not Post-Deathly Hallows persay, but hopefully the list of Post-Deathly Hallows will grow longer! I am also open to recommendations :D

The "he must have known you'd always want to come back," line is my favorite in the book. I like it when Harry gets to be wise. :)

The Tales of Beedle The Barb: Revisted - I can see it now! That would be so cute. ;)

What bugs me even more than Harry always being right is that everyone around him refuses to acknowledge it! I mean seriously! Ron, Hermione, this guy has the best Voldemort track record out there. It might be smart to listen to him.

Heh. I think they must feel the same way I do: he's got to be wrong once. :P But it's true, he does have a good track record.
