Potter talk

The best part of the book (and I don't need to say which book) is the end. Harry looking forward to spending time with the two people closest in his life. It is less about romance or ships. It's about the fellowship. And I'm glad it returned to that in the end.

Yes. It reminds me of the last battle in Return of the King, where Aragorn turns

The fellowship was lovely, and...c'mon, indeed! I am working on properly verbalizing my disappointment with the book overall.

Did you notice that Snape was helping Harry all along, very, very indiscreetly? Even during the DADA classes. And how killing DD consolidates his position with Voldesnorts?

The book was generally a let down, but again, I loved how Ron said they would be with Harry at the Dursleys. They would not leave him alone. I think this sets up the tone of the last book.

And, of course, Dumbledore sacrificed himself by having Snape kill him.

That was my first impression and it continues to be what I believe. Dumbledore was likely dying anyways and could not have been saved given the DEs interference. Dumbledore told Snape to kill him.
