Some Brief Impressions on Deathly Hallows

Jul 23, 2007 01:28

LE GAH.
Just got back from a brutal 8+ hours in the photo lab. That's an hour per roll of film I developed. What is the world coming to!?!?

Anyways, I finished Deathly Hallows early Saturday evening.
I loved it. ♥

( Some brief comments. SPOILER WARNING, obviously )

rant, books, harry potter

wooo long comment! hercrabbiness July 23 2007, 09:19:29 UTC

HOMG. Wand!subtext, anyone? I cannot help but notice it. x3;

GOD I KNOW!! There was this one passage somewhere... I can't remember where, but it was reeeeeeeally suggestive. How could JKR write this and not know how suggestive this is!?

kthx, JKR, my most favourite characters are dead. And for some reason, I really don't mind. That is how wonderful your books are!

Same here, for the most part. But I had by far the most trouble with the especially innocent characters dying; that being Dobby and Collin Creevey. Just so eager to help, worshipping Harry without fail, never arguing or questioning him... and then dying for it. It just tears me apart (not that the other deaths weren't sad, but these especially upset me). It's also why I'm glad Neville and Luna didn't die.

Hedwig. I am really terribly sorry that I am not even sorry. I wanted to be a little sad, but I couldn't manage it. Every other death had me feeling at least a sting of sad pity. But this one felt, altogether, pretty unimportant.At Hedwig's death, the first thing I ( ... )

And because I'm morbid and have no life... hercrabbiness July 23 2007, 09:22:28 UTC

By the way, I counted 21 or 22 deaths in this book alone (holy crap!!). Do you know if there is anywhere that lists every single character who's died in the Harry Potter series? I'd love to get my hands on such a list, but either my researching skills suck or there doesn't seem to be one anywhere...

Oh yes! Thanks for reminding me: I also loved that mirror between Ron/Hermione very much. ♥

I also thought of the "and then they shot Hedwig!" fic there too. Oh Babb, what would we do without you? :D

Gahaha. Snape is just the best hero ever, and by August, everyone will have been converted into the folds of Snapeism.
The reason I started liking him as early as PS, though, was because I was amused by his dry snark.
"Would you like me to do it now?" asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. "Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?" ♥ ♥ ♥

I just finished it last night, and I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I was way too distraught to write anything very coherent...my latest entry is just waaaay too emotional to talk about the whole book.

And I want my Freddie back. :(

Awwww. Once upon a time, I think I might have had a breakdown at the idea of either of the twins dying. But I suppose I'm more resilient now, and the shock of losing Fred was sort of eclipsed for me by tragic!Snape. T-T

Poor, poor George, and poor you! *hugs*

One would have thought than an ASP had to be in Slytherin ...JS

That hadn't actually occurred to me. But J.K. must know, being literary and all.

*dashes back to the painting studio like a good, scholarly daughter* xP;

wooo I'm annoying! hercrabbiness July 26 2007, 05:33:08 UTC

Sorry to bother you for the billionth time, but the woman who owns the apartment on Swift that I've been talking about is showing the place again on Saturday between 10:30 and 11:30. If you could make it, that would be great.
