I just finished reading HP 7. My thoughts:
1) Never read whilst listening to "King Croacus Battle" and, when it got really really cool and because the athmosphere and the general thing was fitting, "The Ultimate Show". My Heart nearly ripped through my chest.
2) The ending. Okay, but learny to the edge of soap opera.
3) Harry. An idiot. Just break the effing elder wand ! You have yours repaired, so get rid of an uneccessary threat.
4) Instant Forgivingness. Just add a Locket or some ol memories of your mother being stalked by the guy you hate the most. Works in under 5 minutes.
5) Break the effing ring, too. If possible.
6) Keep the cloak. Or sell it on Ebay.
7) What would have happened if Voldemort was Flavio ? Would he try to defeat Harry with the Powers of ROMANCE ! THRILLS ! EMOTIONS ! and MONEY ! ?
8 )
9) Number eight is left blank for a reason.
10) Harry and Dumbledore in "King's Cross" - WTF ? Was it now real or not ? NDE ? Glimpse of heaven ? ... And that was Voldy on the floor, or what he left behind somehow - WTF, too. Also, why didn't Harry kick it ?
11) If Chaos Dimentio played the part of, hmmm ... Grindelwald the book would have been much cooler. Or maybe if he played Voldy.
12) All theories I had were right. At least most of them. IN YOUR FACE !
13) I hate ytmnd.com . The main page's popup spoiled AL'L. Also I was in idiot and looked into the Spoiler section to see if it wasjsut the "Still image and then after 10 sec change to a horror photo and play a scream as wav" - joke. it wasn't.
14) WHY FRED ? WHY ? And Dobby and Hedwig, too... That was unnecessary. And too much, they were killed like flies. Also, EWHY CREEVEY ? He was an adorable little stalker. Even if it's a wizard war - or , Aww, by the Gap of Crap, forget it.
15) The part of Kreacher will be played by Bridget. Or maybe he'll play Malfoy. I mean, blond, androgynous, and two-faced, it fits ? Please don't kill me, Bridget...
16) So Crabbe's a steak ? Ew. Well, he goes with a bang. A fiery bang. A lousy, broom-beaten bang. But a bang nonetheless.
17) Narcissa Malfoy, does whatever the plot requires her to do.
18 ) If Harry's crotch was itching when he had to lie still it would have been mortally amusing. Sadly it didn't happen. ... 'Save the world ot scratch ? SAVE THE WORLD OR SCRATCH ? It was Harry's hardest decision.
19) In the 7th movie, the role of Bellatrix Lestrange should be played by Barney the dinosaur. He, he ?  Okay, not. But think of the children.
20) Harry transforms into a large Bodybuilder Wizard. FAAAAN~SERVICE !
Even if it isn't his face... What might he have been thinking then ? ... 'Look into your pants, Look into your pants...' Okay, Mental Note to myself: Must control hormones. Or Digibutter will slaughter me. Also, regardless of how hard I try, I will not be always funny. Only sometoimes with lucky hits.
22) What happened to Fawkes ?
23) I accidentally overread the part where Lupin dies. Coping with a characters death isn't that hard if you overread it.
24) Why did he drop the ring ? The resurrected could have fought Voldy, and he could resurrect them again, and again...
25) I still listen to The Ultimate Show. Not good.
26) I am out of ideas. Wait, maybe not.
27) If Mama Luigi played the part of Harry Voldemort would have been annoyed to death.
28 )If Lord Bowser played Mrs: Weasley the movie would be more interesting. Also if he played Voldemort Voldy would have killed more people.
29) If Evangel, Legendary Machine or SAGE played Voldemort Harry wouldv'e insta-won. Because Digibutter people kill fast and good.
30) What happened to Neil Cicierega's idea ? Shoot Voldy with a good ol' Ak-74 ? I mean, did anyone ever try to do that ? It'd be hard to keep about 500 bullets per minute at bay. Or a nuke.
31) If Francis played Dumbledore, there would be totally hot babes classes. If he played Voldemort then the horcruxes would've been equally rare but much better to hide
32) What wouldv'e happened if Voldemort sold the horcruxes n Ebay ? If they get into the hands of rabid fangirls Harry has no chance.
33) Harry uses every Forbidden Curse except Avada Kedavra.
34) Holey. Ha ha ha. Not funny.

1) Thanks for the advice. 
2) Only the Epilogue was disappointing for me; the rest was fittingly epic, and the aftermath celebration was as expected; it was like winning World War II.
3) Only wands that are equal to or surpass the other in strength could snap its opponent. For example, when Hermione snapped Harry's, and, even earlier on, when Harry snapped Voldemort's borrowed wand. The Elder Wand is the most powerful and dangerous wand in the world, so it most likely cannot be destroyed - only passed down. Its allegiance will remain with the Harry if he dies a natural death, though, thus ending the line.
4) Nobody's going to forget how awful Snape has acted. He always had a closed personality, because the one he loved shut him out; Lily loved the Dark Arts less than she did Snape, and that was the exact path Snape had chosen. Snape held animosity towards Potter, but he was always Dumbledore's spy. In the end, he too helped to ensure Lord Voldemort's defeat, thanks to even HIS ability to love. Riddle remains ignorant as always, all the way until his death.
5) The ring? It was destroyed in Book 6 by Albus Dumbledore, with the sword of Godric Gryffindor. Dumbledore recognized the Peverell coat of arms on the ring's stone - the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. Thus, upon finding the ring he put it on, giving in to curious temptation - and he was cursed. Snape later helped him to recover, but nothing could fully be done about the curse; so Dumbledore only had a year or so to live. He left the Ressurection Stone - the stone of the ring - to Harry in his will (Hidden inside the Snitch with the flesh memory).
6) He does keep the Cloak of Invisibility - the supposed best choice of the three Hallows. I wonder how much it'd fetch on Ebay, though...
7) True romance requires love, which Voldemort does not possess. 
9) I believe you.
10) The hideous creature on the floor represented the bit of Voldemort's soul that had resided in Harry, yes. Harry was just knocked out, not killed - shielded by his bond to life thanks to Voldemort's grave mistake (using Harry's blood and binding them by his mother's protection). It was most likely a NDE, but it's perfectly open to speculation, and that's cool I think. Another half-mystery, like the Veil.
11) Agree'd.
12) Congrats. 
13) Stupid spoilers. I happened to be lucky enough not to catch any true spoilers, of which I'm glad.
14) But you just said it - this IS war. The deaths come randomly and almost without warning, and it portrays the grim reality of it all. It's no game... and yes, Dobby, Hedwig, and especially Fred - they really shocked me. But the theme of the book is love, and death at the same time. There are worse things in the world than death, which Voldemort wrongly denies. All of these deaths brought him to decide he would willingly sacrifice himself in a chance to save their lives; and thus he became the Conquerer of Death.
15) *creates anti-Bridget shield on this thread*
16) Yes, Crabbe just fired off any Dark Spell he could think of - ones he had learned from the Death Eaters, or even under one of the Carrows's teachings as DADA teacher, no doubt. Fiendfyre is very powerful and immensely difficult to control, poor Crabbe didn't stand a chance. He was well done in the end. Ha ha ha.
17) She's tired of it all, as you could see hinted in Book 6. She cares about her own son more than she does Voldemort, as she should - quite unlike Bellatrix.
1 I LOL'd.
19) Not scary enough!
20) Lawl. NO
21) ***missing number***
22) He might be staying with Aberforth, who knows. Maybe Dumbledore knew Harry wouldn't need the phoenix's help? Harry understood that there were to be no more shields between him and Voldemort - perhaps not even Fawkes the Phoenix, which had saved him down in the Chamber of Secrets several years ago. An appearance would have been really cool, though.
23) Good for you! I think...
24) No spell can reawaken the dead. The stone would NOT be able to create Inferi, as the shadows called up by the stone are just that - mere shadows. They can't inflict physical pain or injury. Harry left it where he was because he didn't want to be tempted again, nor did he want anyone else to discover it. It'll probably be trampled deep into the earth by stampeding centaurs as time goes on.
25) TURN IT OFF!
26) Go on, then.
27) Agree'd again.
2 Too true, too true.
29) I concur.
30) Even if wizards learned how to operate these Muggle devices (examples of their ignorance; the gun is called a sort of metal wand that Muggles use to kill each other in Book 3, and in Book 5 Kingsley Shacklebolt mistakenly calls them 'firelegs' instead of 'firearms'), a simple Shield Charm would probably suffice. Or, just Apparate away from the line of fire, and reappear with more protection around yourself. A nuke would be difficult to get, and I don't think they want to kill any more innocents in the progress.
31) Mmk...?
32) That depends on whether or not the fangirls are Muggles.
33) Yep. He learns to really MEAN them - or at least, he does with the Imperius Curse. But as Dumbledore mentioned, he is so pure that he holds no temptation to join Voldemort and his followers. All except for Avada Kedavra. All Voldemort knows is kill, kill, kill - Harry doesn't need to bother with the curse. Voldemort's own arrogance and continued ignorance of love killed him in the end, as the Elder Wand refused to slay its true master, the Conquerer of Death. Notice that Harry finished it all with his 'trademark' Expelliarmus spell.
34) Yes, even Fred (in the book) acknowledged how bad it was as soon as George said it.
It's my favorite Harry Potter book; quite different from the others, but in a good way. |

Thanks, I just had to defend the book. I've seen lots of people who were disappointed, and they're perfectly entitled to their opinions - but I figure that I'd get my return opinion in this time on why I thought it was a GOOD book. |
