My general review and saddest part of the book

Well, firstly, this was by far the darkest book of the series.   It was most unsettling and I had to abandon my plan to read it immediately.   I finished Sunday and am going to start my re-read tonight.   I couldn't start back up Sunday as I was too upset by the ending.   

I was so sure that Draco was going to be a turncoat and come over to the other side but evidence to the contrary was shown quite early.    Narcissa seems quite desperate in her attempt to save Draco which reminded me of the love of Lily for Harry and her desperate attempt to save him.    

One of the most shocking moments for me was Remus and Tonks !!    Some might have been ready for that but it took my by surprise...a welcome surprise I might add.    

I ended the book absolutely hating Snape.   I just couldn't believe that he would so coldly and without any hesitation kill Dumbledore.   I cried.   I cried and sobbed, especially at the funeral and afterwards when Fawkes left.

Amer. ed., pg. 632.
"And he knew, without knowing how he knew it, that the phoenix had gone, had left Hogwarts for good, just as Dumbledore had left the school, had left the world...had left Harry."

That for me, was the saddest part of the book although I don't doubt we'll see Fawkes in book 7.
