up...)

Sorry, got too creative with my spoiler
space.  ANYWAY!  My thoughts:

*Predictions that I lost: I missed three
prefects, I guessed Harry for Gryffindor,
Justin FF for Hufflepuff and someone else for
Ravenclaw that I can't even remember now.  I
thought Dumbledore would be our lost one, I
thought Hagrid would meet his mother, not
brother and I was pretty sure Figg was going
to be a witch not a squib.

*VOLDEMORT!!  I'm sorry but I just am in awe
of his slightly evilness.  Sadly, he's not as
scary as I had hoped.  Looks more like a fool
playing bad but hopefully this will get
better.  And yes, I kept giggling every time
Dumbledore said Tom...one should not watch
the CoS movie just before reading book six.

*I cried throughout this book...course that
could be because I'm sick and dead tired but
from the Sorting Hat's song till the tears on
Dumbledore's face I could not stop sniffling
as I turned pages.

*Harry has grown up but still needs to learn
to trust people and what to do in situations.
Many, many times during the book I felt the
urge to just smack him upside the head.
Although he's good at giving well coded
messages to the Order (if only he would learn
to trust the other members).   He should have
gone to someone when he started writing he
lines in his own blood.  (like ANYONE would
allow her that freedom), he should have wrote
something to Snape after the pensive ordeal,
a nice letter of apology for snooping.  He
SHOULD have contacted someone else regarding
Sirius, such as Lupin or Moody but what's
done is done.  There's a ton of should haves
that we have in our lives.

*Can I just say I love Luna?  I really hope
she sticks around.  She's not quite all there
but she's a brilliant girl in her own right.
Ooo, I'm starting to see a resemblance. :o)

*Neville.  My baby.   He's just grown up so
much and I can't wait to see what the next
book brings with him and the D.A.   I knew
he's eventually come around but the way he
fought by Harry's side just made me so proud
of him.

*Seamus' and he mum need a good smack every
once in a while.

* The D.A.  I knew this was going to come
about but to see it was just wonderful.  I
predict much bigger plans in store for them.

*The Order:  From beginning to end I loved
every mention of the Order.  Especially the
last bits *snicker*  I really hope we
continue to see them at the beginning and end
of the years as well as sprinkled throughout.

*Draco...I really hope that boy gets his act
in gear and picks a bloody side.  Right now
he's just a no account annoying bully whom is
probably going to die a horrible death that
will leave me relieved to have gotten rid of
him.  He's not evil, he's not good, he's just
annoying now.

*SHIPS: *watches the H/G sail away and
glares* That ship better get it's butt turned
around let me tell you....grrrrr.  And Ginny
can't go out with Dean as he belongs to
Seamus.

*Professor/Headmaster/Whatever: What's her
face that I can't bother remembering.  Your
know who I'm talking about, the annoying bint
that made me rant and rave to myself in the
bath for about an our.  Annoying woman she
was.   If I ever wanted to strangle a
character she would be it, and I rarely
strangle characters...they all have some
purpose.

Well, those are my main thoughts.  All in
all, a good book.  I REALLY should lay off
the fanfiction as a lot of it was VERY
familiar.  I felt like I've read it before.
But it was all good, no real complaints
besides character flaws that hopefully will
be cleared up.  Sadly it didn't seem like a
Harry Potter book.   I was expecting
something more like the first four, not ready
for the shift in gears towards the war we
knew was coming.   It's understand able why
it took some time though.  It was well
plotted, well written and an amazing ride
from beginning to end.  Sad part is...the
wait starts again.  *stairs at her
calendar...pokes it* Damnit.

doesn't multiply, smell, catch on fire or
block the refrigerator door, let it be. No
one cares. Why should you?
