Ok, maybe its because I was delerious from lack of sleep, but after
my first read thru, I didn't like HBP.
My overall impression was that JKR spent her time on all the fan
sites, reading theories, reading ships, listening to what we, the
fans, really wanted---and then gave it to us. One of the things
that aggrevated me most was the flying liplock with Ginny---where
did that come from???? Must be the same odd place that WonWon and
Lavendar Brown came from. I'm also not buying the Lupin/Tonks ship,
for no other reason than "where the hell did that come from??" There
was no continuation of the DA meetings, which would be more needed
now than ever. The whole thing was too choppy, too "answer driven"--
-someone has already pointed out the JKR checklist thing and I agree
with that. And in 2 short weeks, Harry goes from destroying DDs
office to Mr Calm, Cool and Collected?? I could go on, but Saturday
afternoon is a long ways from today, and my impressions are
beginning to fade. I'm also in re-read mode, so maybe I'll have a
different opinion tomorrow.
Don't flame me too hard, thats all I ask.
