I read it in one night.  I can barely remember what I read unless I really try and focus XD

I'll admit, I've always been curious about the fortune that Harry seems to have... I mean, how DID they get it.

and I think perhaps he was going to take both of them out.  just...because of what happened with Harry, he couldn't get to Neville.

>_> What, I finally finish it and want to hold a discussion and NO ONE wants to talk about it? D:

Sock, Graham? *holds one out*

I loved the Epilogue... <3 Some unexpected bits in that, but I liked them all. ^_^

I have a question though.... Mom and I both thought hard about one of the questions JK was supposed to answer and can't figure out who it is...

[i]JKR said that someone will manage magic very late in life in Book 7: who will it be? Filch, perhaps?[/i]

I can't think of anyone who mastered Magic... And the assumption is that it was during that [i]final battle[/i] that someone 'mastered magic'..... It was not Flich, he's a Squib and all he did was run around like a chicken with its head cut off. (No offense, Sir Nicholas.)

So.... who did she mean?

[u][b]Loose Ends:[/b][/u]
After that, there are still some loose ends that were listed that JK never answered. Anyone find them? I didn't see the answer anywhere... Did I miss it? >_>;

1.) What were Lily and James' occupations? (Anyone see this answer?)
2.) What "worst memory" did Dudley experience when he was attacked by dementors in [i]Order of the Phoenix[/i]? (I don't recall anyone saying.... Dudley never admitted what he saw, just that Harry saved him.)
3.) How exactly did the Potters and the Longbottoms "thrice defy Voldemort"? (I don't recall her answering exactly how both families "thrice defied" him... Just that he [i]chose[/i] Lily Evans as who it meant... after hearing the Prophecy... Which, to him, was incomplete.)
4.) Do we know the full reason that Voldemort decided to try to kill Harry instead of Neville? (Aside from the fact he chose the Potter Family...? No?)
5.) Where did the Potter family's wealth come from? (It could be tied to the jobs, but it wasn't discussed. Not that it's VITAL, but... Never answered.)

[u][b]Discussion Questions:[/b][/u]
I know they're kinda stupid, but, just wondering what y'all thought...

1.) [b]Where did Fawkes go at the end of [i]Half-Blood Prince[/i]?[/b]
---It appears he just flew off.... But Phoenixes don't really die... Could Fawkes have just gone off to find a new 'Master'?

2.) [b]Why did Regulus choose to leave the Death Eaters?[/b]
---All I remember, specifically, is that he decided to leave... he returned to Grimmauld Place and Kreacher mentioned how horrible he looked. Do you think he realized that Voldemort was worse than he had believed? Perhaps he lost interest in the "glamour" of being a Death Eater...

3.) Are we going to see the Ford Anglia in the Forbidden Forest again?
---We all know the answer if you've read through, but wouldn't that have been awesome to come across in the Forbidden Forest? XD!

4.) [b]What are the twelve uses of dragon's blood that Dumbledore discovered? Will these discoveries be important to the story in any way?[/b]
---I don't think this even came up, do you? But it would have been interesting to know. XD

5.) [b]Did Hagrid have to be able to see thestrals in order to train them? If so, whose death did Hagrid witness?[/b]
--While I don't recall seeing an answer, the fact is, I don't think it was ever stated that he [i]trained[/i] them.... But it is another interesting question...

BELATED NOTICE: The Death Eaters, especially Bellatrix, can all go right to Hell [i]directly[/i], and everyone knows why, and just who they killed. ;______; Fuckers.

ok, finished this morning around 8:30am

two words sum up this book

HOLY and SHIT o.o

puru if it wasn't for having to open saturday morning, i would have been able to finish the book by morning (i got my book at midnight).  but omg, i loved chapter 33. made me cry, and i'm not even a huge snape fan.

x_x chapter 9

and what a trip.

Having read book seven, I have to say.

Damn, she's gotten into the habit of killing characters O_o

That is all

Agreed, especially with Book 7 being the last in the series... <.<;

Ah, sorry Graham I think those Potter chicas and pimps are a one-time deal I'm afraid.

It would be very hard for Lord Voldemort to flirt, yes. XD

...However, I am now certain I want your job. Not only do you make more money than I do (currently $0.00 hourly), you have aforementioned busty chicas and...and Slytherin pimps.

Anyhow. According to my friend Ravenna, this book is all kinds of not for teh childrenz...so should be interesting...

lol

wanna little cheese with that whine ~_^

X_X I just came back from working at a Harry Potter release party...book 7...FUCK YOU.

Those people are NUTS. INSANE.

Yet what grabbed me were the FINE girls that came to this. Too bad you can't flirt with the customers, eh? meh, ahrd to flirt when you're wearing up to seven layers of black clothing. ...I did look pretty bad ass though.

From busty hispanic chicks who could spell almost every damn spell in Harry Potter, to pimp trutting  Slytherin students (white boy, couldn't be older than 13, PERFECT pimp strut), to the CUTEST little Harry Potter ever (spot on and only like, THREE), this was all sorts of what the fuck.

....shit I may actually buy this book.

PEACE. X_X Posting resumes later today for me.
