First I must say that I have really enjoyed HBP for me in take place
about the best HP. In fact I find it better than OOTP more centered
with a great storyline . And I was really shocked by the death of
Dumbledore at Snape hand but I foud in this scene the same shock that
in COS when I learned that Ginny was posseded.
A quick collection of thought :
Voldemort past, I find it really interresting to see voldermortpast ,
A just minor critic it seems that he was always marred, I would just
have see a moment where a choice would have offered to him.
Snape : Hard to say my first reaction was God he is really evil,
butmy second thought was it's all covert, so I wait till the next
book to learn the truth.
Dumbledore death: quite shocking but expected, just for the sake of
the story Dumbledore has to go on order that Harry has a little
challenge (let's face the ende of OOTP with Dumbledore coming as the
cavalry make that in order to build tension he has to be removed of
the scene). And I really like the interaction between he and Harry
The years in fact when we look back this years was really cool in
Hogwarth after the really hard years in OOTP, I like this change of
pace.
Quidditch : It's me or the quidditch play a very little part in Harry
now.
Snape : If the potion books is Snape's I wonder how the magic
communoty can keep the basic book for such a long time with so many
flaws
Horcruxe : a good idea on a narrative level I just Hope that the next
volume will not be a treasure quest
Weasley and Fleur: I really like the Fleur and Bill interaction, but
I found the Weasley (at least Molly and Ginny) really hatefull for
they comportment toward Fleur. We can assume that Bill is really in
love with Fleur so that his mother try to destroy his couple and more
try to arrange a wedding with someone else is completly scaring.
Ginny giving a cruel nickname, making fun of Fleur toward and in her
back and in the end after real act of love of Fleur just barely
accepting her. All that I found really strange for such an open
minded familly and really frightening by his xenophobic face.
Ginny : I really don't like her in this volume, from her comportment
toward Fleur, to all the accent put on her perfection. I've just one
hope that the break-up in the end is for real because I can't see
Harry going with her.
Speaking of Ship, let me say I'm a H/H shipper, but I can stand other
(except H/G which I found more compelling before HBP that after
discovered his real personality)
Bill and Fleur : I really enjoyed it
Tonk and Remus : quite surprised and I must admit don't really see
where he goes (at last in term of narrative structure), but otherwise
great
Harry and Ginny : In fact I found quite in Harry character to fall
quickly for Ginny, It remind me a lot of Cho and Harry. Harry has a
quickly crush toward Cho after he find her attractive , it was just
delayed because of Cedric. But as I've said the character of Ginny
was marred for me in HBP.
Ron and Levander : Quite believable I found no real love sustained it
just lust and was quickly over, the necklace was funny and the same
time real it looks like thousand short lived love story in college.
Ron and Hermione : I've never be able to understand the logic of
their pairing but I can live with it (even if I favour H/H) few thing
to say about it
A note to Luna: her few appareance were Gold and I like her joy when
Harry invite her to the Ball
So that's my thought about HBP, really enjoyed reading and wait for
the next one
