Hi, Grown-Ups,
Gosh, I'm offering my opinion twice this week. Somebody stop me.
"Were you upset by Cedric's death? Was it gratuitous or vital
to the plot and / or Lord Voldemort's character development?"
Cedric's death was a very strange occurance. The spoilers everyone was
spouting said that someone 'beloved' would die, so when I read that scene I
was just sure he'd come back. *eye roll* silly me. My thoughts were
something like 'no, he's not loved. He'll come back. There's a
mistake...right?' It wasnt' until the last page I actually realized that
Cedric was dead and gone. But I didn't really care; I was relived it wasn't
a Weasley. I think that it showed us just how nasty Voldemort was/is, but no
more than we already knew. Face it, the man murdured a man, a woman and
tried to kill their infant, among countless others. We don't need proof. But
then, I think that JK was trying to bring it closer to home - he's still
capable of anything.
"Did you read this chapter verbatim to your kids? Were they
creeped out?"
Oh, yes. Very frightened. Nightmares for weeks. *glances back and forth*
Seeing as I'm...*cough* not an adult (at all), let's hope I don't have
childeren. I know just how pissed you must be everyone is making jokes about
this, so I'll try and answer you. Hmm. When I was seven I was reading
graphic horror stories, so I doubt this would have fazed me if I was
younger...
Sirius summary? Yea! *drools*
Blondes:
<<They are all mean (Petunia, Dudley, Draco), stupid (Gyllenroy, Fleur) or
misguided (Crouch Jr). >>
Woah, woah, woah. Back up. If Crouch Jr. gets to be "misguided", Draco isn't
mean....and Fleur isn't stupid. Sterotypes, anyone?

Quote Of The...uh, Moment:
"Now the other theory is that life was designed by an anthropomorphic police-power freak named Jehovah. He's an all-powerful desert-macho dictator who runs around interrogating, arresting, and condemning anyone who doesn't follow his rules or bow down to him regularly. He even stationed an Irish cop named Peter at the gates of his upscale eternal vacation spot to keep dissidents out."
