Now That Erin is Done with Harry
Now that Erin is done with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows I will tell the world what I think.
First, Harry DOES NOT DIE. I never thought that J.K. Rowling was writing a book where her principle character would die; and, moreover, was extremely pleased when I got to the end of the book and the dude was still alive. I've said, for a few years, that the prophecy that everyone thought was meant to kill Harry (and Voldy) really meant that Harry could not expect a normal life if Voldemort was still alive. Voldy is the one who misinterpreted the prophesy and, as a result, made a mess of things.
With that, Voldemort dies. Yup. You heard me correct. Voldy dies. I thought, "Great, about time." I also thought, "Interesting that Rowling is allowing all of the principle kid characters have a chance at defeating a piece of Voldemort." Since Voldemort had divided his soul in to six parts and Dumbledore destroyed a couple of those before dying (in book six, shhh... don't tell anyone) that left one for Harry, one for Hermione, one for Ron, and one for Neville.
I thought that Ron running away from Harry and Hermione when the going got tough was not good. Moreover, I found that ENTIRE section of the book to be boring and far too much exposition. It was like slogging through mud filled with leaches while I was bleeding.
With that said, I thought it sucked the Dobbie died.
I didn't like the fact that Fred died and was a bit off-put by it.
Percy returning to the fold was more a matter of time, for me, than something that wasn't going to happen. I think it was forced in to it.
Having Harry become remus Lupin and Tonk's son's godfather was nice, then they died. Which sucked.
I liked how Harry faked death and that the Malfoy's helped him, semi-redeeming themselves after supporting Voldy.
Moreover, I loved the fact that I was right, all along, about Snape. Snape is a good guy and was under Dumbledore's orders - even if meant that Snape HAD to kill Dumbledore. I loved it. Moreover, I really liked what kept Snape good, and that was Harry's mother Lilly, whom he loved.
Pretty much, I am ruining anything to do with Harry Potter. I might write more later, but, in the past month if you haven't read it; well, it's your own fault.
Erin is a bit nicer than me.
