I recieved my copy at 10:30AM and all the details are just starting 
to sink in.  The first thing that comes to mind is that it was a good 
thing that I was alone reading today.  I couldn't help but laugh or 
cheer or curse out loud through-out the entire book.  My thoughts are 
after the spoiler space.





First:  I never in a million years thought I would like Rita 
Skeeter.  I even held my breath until her article came out thinking 
thta things were just going to get worse for Harry.  I hated her more 
than any female character.  Now?  Delores Umbridge heads the top of 
the "people I would like to see kissed by dementors" list.  That 
punnishment!  I can't beleive she could do that!

Second : Dumbledore somehow managed to show all the power I knew he 
had and at the same time show that he is only human and not perfect.
I have always wanted to see Dumbledore kick but.  I tried to explain 
how I felt about Dumbledore taking on Fudge and company and the Death 
Eaters at the end to my husband.  Being the Star Wars fan he was I 
thought the best way to express it to him was "it's like Yoda taking 
out his light saber...."

Third : Percy.  Is he going to appolgise?  That letter to Ron almost 
did me in.  And sending the Christmas present back?  Percy is getting 
close to making my "demetor kiss" list if he is not too careful.

Fourth : Death death everywhere...ok maybe not.  I was completely 
convinced that at least seven people were dead (not at the same time) 
I kept thinking OH NO!  Not Him/Her and then that person would get 
right back up in the next scene and then walk away.  By the way is 
Fawkes dead?

There is just so much stuff flying around my head, so many details I 
want to savor.  So many things I know I have missed.  Well, I guess 
it is time to sleep before reading it again.
