First of all, I'm not giving a plot summary. If you
clicked the cut, you have finished the book or want to
be spoiled off you ass anyways. This is more a
character commentary, with a little plot to help.

Ah, so Figg is a Squib. Explains a lot. Mundungus is a
disurbing little crook, hmm? 

Gods almighty, I think Tonks is one of my new favorite
characters. A Metamorphagus? That's cooler than an
Animagus. Almost. I hope JKR does more with her. The
fanfic writers are gonna love adding that to the
repetoire. I also love the real Moody. He's kinda
cuddly, in that polar bear way. And Lupin, back and
better than ever. I also like Luna Lovegood. She seems
sweet, in that messed up kind of way. 

Molly, love? You're a sweetie and all--but Harry's not
your kid, honey. He's not. You can't protect him from
everything. 

Black, brother to a Death Eater? Family of wizards who
supported Voldemort? Who'd have thunk it? And a cousin
of Narsiscia--well, like he said, wanting your kids to
be purebloods leads to ickky inbreeding and crap.
Kreacher was disturbing...

Fudge was an a**hole. Plain and simple. Messing with
Harry to save his own a**... And Percy...dear god, I
hate to see what happens when someone takes the air
out of him. 

Speaking of Harry, that boy's got a temper and a hero
complex. I love him, but he's got both, no denying
this. He didn't need to get so p*ssed off at everyone,
he didn't need to sulk around, and he didn't need to
shoot his mouth off so much. And he didn't need to
throw it in the face of everyone that he fought
Voldemort. But then again, he is only 15...

I DESPISE UMBRIDGE. SHe was a pompous, overbearing,
sadistic, prejudiced fucking b**h, who overregulated
to cover the Ministry's a** and f**ed with Harry
because she could, and while I don't think she
deserved everything she got--No, wait, she f**ed with
McGonnagal and Hagrid and had Dumbledore put out cause
she had a stick in her a**. I do. Anyways, I think she
set herself up for a fall on her toady a** that shook
a continent. I thought there could be no worst teacher
than Lockhart, but I have been proved wrong. 

James and Sirius were pricks in school. They picked on
Snape just cause he was there. That's absolutely
horrible. The way Lily defended Snape also sets up a
lot of stuff that can fall either way. 

Heh, what do you know, Harry went to three different
places he'd only heard about. The Ministry, St.
Mungo's, and the Room of Requirement. Very spiffy. I
like St. Mungo's best. Speaking of which...Poor
Neville. His parents...to look so vacant. 

Why is it that when Cho finally gets a personality,
it's a stupid one? Geez, if she started bawling about
Cedric or acting like a b**h once more I was going to
take a foot to her. Don't expect me to ever
incorporate that into my fics. Goddess...

Fred and George, leaving with a flourish and a style
that can only be descibed by HOT D*MN! And I'm glad
they're suceeding with their joke shop. 

Ron and Hermione, Prefects? Rock! Well, at least
Dumbledore explained why he didn't make Harry one..and
he was d*mn right. 

JKR gave so many false deaths, yanking my chain like
that...but when she tuged it for real, she tugged it
so hard I started crying and woke my boyfriend up. 

Speaking of which...holy dragon breath, that was
horrible! My gods, of all the people who could have
bit it...Sirius. Sirius died because Harry had to play
the hero and not check the facts first. Everyone's
favorite doggy has bought the farm, and it sucked so
hard that I had to set the book to the side and have
Brent hug me. But I hate to say it--Sirius's death may
be the thing to force Harry to grow up. He's been
playing at this for too long without realizing it. 

What a battle. As a person who doesn't recap fights, I
won't recap. Too many little details. I'm just glad
Dumbledore slapped that smug attitude right out of
Fudge's mouth. 

Dumbledore really let the Kneasels out of the bag. But
he's right. He should have told Harry when he got to
Hogwarts what was going on. Security in exchange for
safety? Bad, bad idea. Well, at least we know why the
hell he's got to go back to the Dursleys...because
Petunia, his mother's blood, keeps him protected. So
the collective ideas were right, that the First
Prophecy was about Harry and Voldemort. Though, if
things had gone another way, we'd all be reading
Neville Longbottom and the Order of the Phoenix...to
think everything hung on the fact that Voldemort went
after Harry. (I smell an AU fic someone's thinking
of.)

Well, this one didn't leave me on quite the
cliffhanger as GoF. But it's still one. 

And so, the Second War begins.
