Okay, now that that's is done. Am I the only person really, really,
REALLY ticked off at this? Why? It didn't really serve the storyline
that much, other than to make Harry mad as heck / hell ? (Mods is hell
allowed?)and a Hero who has nothing (i.e. no one personally who means
the world to them) to fight for sometimes *doesn't* respond well to
the "It is your destiny" lines.

Why can't Sirius come back? He wasn't killed, he was stunned! Wouldn't
one think that a "live" person going through the veil who didn't want
to *really* go would be expelled? I'm probably not making alot of
sense, haven't been to bed yet (don't ask why you wouldn't believe me
if I told you :) )

And where is Wormtail? This is bothering me, I do want to know where
the little rat is, and if the next *big* death is going to be Remus
(cause now he, Moody, and Weasely have stood up to Vernon). I expected
a little more emotional showing over Sirius' death from Remus at least
(and I know this is Harry's story, but would at least one paragraph of
"and somewhere off in the Forbidden Forest...Remus Lupin wept for the
friend he would never see again?")

And why...WHY am I hoping that somehow Wormtail traded places with
Sirius and it was PolyjuiceWormtail who went through the veil not
Sirius. I had always hoped that Dumbledore's words from PoA U.S. copy
page 426: "This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Harry.
But trust me...the time may come when you will be very glad you saved
Pettigrew's life." I was always so afraid it would be Sirius (even if
I did pick Remus in the poll), and that at the last minute, Peter
would remember the Marauder's for the "family" they had been to him,
and save Sirius for Harry. Now, I'm heart-broken, and to be honest
don't want to read Oop again, much less the last two books in the series.
Am I the only one who feels this way? To me this is worse than I felt
when ROTJ came out in '83.
Okay, I'll stop babbling now, just so disappointed in the way this
book turned out.
