I love that you're doing this. I wanted to but I preferred to stay the heck away from the computer.

Anyway, yay Neville! I agree about the mirror. H/D fans did go nuts, haha. Theirloveismadeofwood.

And I won't say anything else, not to spoil you. :p

[thistlerose]

Oh, I should have stayed away, but at the rate I'm going, I'd have lost contact with everyone. :P

I find it amusing that Sirius/Remus fans tend to whine about canon, while the Harry/Draco fans are all "canon schmanon!"

[mellafe]

Ha, that is so true! I guess because H/D fans really do know it's almost impossible their ship will be canon, so they take whatever they can and have fun with it.

I do have to say, and can say, that my ships are alive with the sound of music. No matter what. I don't do wank, I just have fun and read what I like and love it.

I want you to finish so I can talk freely! hahaha.

[thistlerose]

Ships alive? That's GOOD news. :)

But say no more. I'll know everything by Friday, I hope.

I was sobbing when they buried Dobby - and Ron gave him his socks and shoes!!! *snuggles Ron* And Harry carved the headstone! *snuggles Harry*

And Remus is so deliriously happy to have a son!! He was so cute!! *snuggles Remus*

And you didn't mention it, but Lee's broadcast was made of awesome! *snuggles Lee and the other Resistance*

Aberforth was so made of win! *snuggles**shakes Aberforth's hand and keeps eye out for jealous goats*

And Neville! *snuggles Neville*

[thistlerose]

Icon love!

I actually did mention Lee in my last Deathly Hallows post. He IS made of win, though I think the guys (except Fred) could have picked less obvious code names.

I love Teddy Lupin. (Though I think his middle name should have been James or Sirius.) I'm hoping he renews Remus's interest in life, and everything works out with him and Tonks. Yes, this is really me saying this! But I want him to be happy. If Rowling wants me to believe that he really loves Tonks, then I kind of want to believe it.

I can't wait to read the wank, though!

[aome]

You're right at the point where I stopped Sunday night. :D

I hated Dobby in CoS, but liked him afterwards and was very saddened by his death, particularly as he'd died saving His Hero (and friends). That elf-only magic came in handy.

And yes, I liked not only that Harry took Draco's wand, but that he described it as "feeling friendlier". :D

[thistlerose]

I thought he was really funny in CoS. But I think I liked CoS in general better than most.

[thistlerose]

Same here. Oh, Dobby. Oh, boys.

I think Neville is the bestest part of the entire book, despite the fact that it takes him hundreds and hundreds of pages to show up. :D

I love Remus being so excited about Teddy. "Ooh, I wonder what color my child's hair will be when I get home!"

You're so right about "as ___ as ever." That was the one that really started to get to me. And the ellipses. (When I wrote a paper about the differences between the British and American editions of OotP, the most often occurring difference I noticed was in where the ellipses were. Two sets of editors found them annoying in different places, I guess.)

[thistlerose]

I just read "The Lost Diadem." OMG, Neville is made. of. win. It was worth the wait for him to be that cool.

And it's nice to see the others kicking ass, too. Especially Cho. I'm glad she got redeemed a little.
