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.
