Me: Not so much, here. I think the locket is squirreled away in the
house somewhere courtesy of Kreacher, but I'm less intereste in that
residence. There's another one I want to see.
I can't wait for 3 things.
1. Harry reading the letter DD left on the doorstep, and the
connection with Petunia that will accompany this moment. I think that
that brief moment in OotP when Harry "realized she [Petunia] was his
mother's sister..." will have its other shoe drop in DH - Harry will
finally have a family member - an actual family member.
2. Godric's Hollow. Harry is going to go back there and I know there
will be some little fragment of something that will make me start
bawling - it will be a very emotional section in the story.
3. More about the Werewolf Prank - We haven't heard all of this story,
and I want to hear the rest of it. I think (like lots of others) that
this was when DD recruited Snape as a double agent, and I want to know
more.

Me: Nice way of not talking about the final denouement, JW! I use the
same method of not saying things: "I'm not going to say what I think,
because I think you're a stinkhead, but I'm not going to say anything!"
