Okay, rambling and squealing and crows eating ¡V lots of it.
But I think it is normal for the first post, lol.
So, without further adieu let¡¦s start. I loved the book. I loved the
book so very much, even though she incorporated so many things I did
not think will come true. But the way she did made me so emotionally
satisfied. Bravo, JKR. For me it was always Harry¡¦s journey first
and foremost. I felt his pain, I cheered for his triumphs, I am
immensely happy that she kept the focus on Harry and his close
friends
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ¡V Harry lives, he lives, he lives, he lives, he
lives. I cannot be more pleased, really and truly.
I also cannot be more pleased that JKR rewarded Harry for all his
suffering with something I always thought he wanted most in the
world ¡V a family and that she showed it to us. In short I cannot be
more pleased with the epilogue. Yeah, it was overly sentimental, but
to contrast so much pain, it seemed to fit very well to me.
Oh, yes, crow eating obviously. YUM. Crow number one is obviously DD!
M Snape. No, I was not **shocked**, the fact that I always kept in
mind that possibility that I did not want to come true and did not
think will come true, may come true nevertheless helped a lot º
But of course I was wrong that the plan to kill Dumbledore did not
exist. Oh well.
But oh my goodness this woman is such a great writer. See, I read
the epilogue first and when I read Harry naming the child Albus
Severus, I of course realized that Snape is DD!M, hahah, so I
thought I will be forced to give Snape his dues as DD!M Snape, as
somebody who rejected Voldemort¡¦s values, etc.
Heee, what did I see instead? I saw a creep greedily watching a girl
and never letting this obsession go. I am guessing that JKR meant to
show that Snape truly loved Lily, but that is not what I took from
the book.
Oh, oh and even though Dumbledore turned out to be more manipulative
than I ever thought he will be ( another crow for me, but smaller
size), I was so very pleased that he did not turn out to be nearly
as manipulative as some predictions.
Dumbledore had nothing to do with telling Snape to go and give
prophecy to Voldemort, didn¡¦t he? And he did not possess Trelawney
or anything to that effect. I was incredibly happy about that.
And I was so happy to see Snape coming to DD and not giving a ****
about the lives of James and innocent baby he just sold out.
Pathetic creep indeed. You disgust me Snape in Dumbledore¡¦s words.
Oh, oh and Snape **bargained** with Dumbledore for Lily¡¦s life, no
less. I hope the author of **TOO EWWW TO BE TRUEEEEE** would stand
up and take a round of applauds from me. Bravo.
So, I am fascinated how JKR presented DD!M Snape with the Dumbledore
asking him to kill him, which I was so very **sure** would not
happen and still left me plenty of room to be disgusted by Snape and
like Dumbledore.
I mean, I felt sooo bad for Dumbledore throughout the book, I cried
when he is telling Harry at the end ¡V I crave your pardon and I
always knew that you are a better man. I say poor Dumbledore indeed.
Hmm, what other crows I should eat? Oh Prank of course, I thought it
would be important and we are due further revelations and it so was
not.
Another crow would be that I was sure that Hagrid will die. But JKR
just had to let live Harry¡¦s father figure that I liked the least. I
guess what matters is whom she likes the best, heehhe.
The scariest part of the book for me is probably Ministry
registering Muggle borns. That gave me such strong real life vibes
of Nazis persecuting Jews, oh my goodness. I could not help it. I
cried.
That also reminds me to give Nora a round of applauds for her ¡§WW as
fascist world¡¨¡¨ essay. Right on that was º
Heeee, well, I want to pat myself on the back for guessing correctly
something as well. JKR does not seem to have much love for Slytherin
house in general, does not she?
I mean, she shows us a couple good Slytherins ( if one can call
Snape good) from older generation, but when all houses are
preparing to fight Hogwarts, Pantsy ( please I hope somebody killed
her) is ready to sell Harry out and the others are you know, leaving.
That tells me nothing of JKR RL values, really, just as the fact
that she did not specifically punish Snape tells me that she is a
child abuse supporter, lol. It just tells me that she from the
beginning designated House Slytherin as the house of evil ideology
and maybe some people can make a break from it but not all?
Harry, Harry, Harry. I have to count ways how many times I was so
proud of him throughout the book. And I am sure I will do it many
times, but his ¡§does it hurt to die¡¨ just got to me and I was
crying again when I read it. She wrote that part so believably to
me ¡V how scared he was and still trying to be brave.
And his chat with Dumbledore was probably my other very favorite
Harry moment in the book. Love, love, love.
Oh, oh Remus Lupin is not evil and had never been evil, he just
poor, depressed, heroic and now dead man. YAHOOOOOOOO.
And there was **no traitor** in the order, like at all. YAY.
I cried for him and Tonks and I loved that JKR just showed them
fallen already. I think the main point she was going for with the
deaths is that during the war most deaths are not spectacularly
heroic, they are just senseless and make you ask why and get no
answers. Sob.
Heeee, to get to Snape for a second, I guess his death makes my
point as well that she wanted to show suddenness and senselessness,
but at the same time I cannot help but smile at the delightful irony
JKR brought there ¡V potion master dies from poison with no chance to
get an antidote or anything like that.
As I said, I still hate the character, probably more than before,
but I also cannot help but be happy as to the end JKR brought for
him.
Oh, oh and no recognition except from Harry, that noble soul. I
applaud Harry. He is a very forgiving man indeed.
I wanted confrontation between Snape and Harry so badly, but now I
cannot help but think that JKR¡¦s way is so much better. She would
not let Snape taunt Harry ¡V haha, I am Dumbledore¡¦s man, (or is he?)
who loved your mother, Harry just learns it all afterwards.
Since it also now seems that Lily was all that Snape wanted all his
life, I am happy imagining that in the afterlife Snape will be
watching Lily in James¡¦ arms for eternity.
I think that is a great justice, personally. I was a little afraid
that I will start crying even when I read about Snape¡¦s death, but I
found it just funny.
There is so much I want to say and will say and say and say later
on. But I just want to mention one more thing. Aberworth Dumbledore
rocks my world. He so does. First he handles himself so well
against DE, he saves the Trio and he to me voiced all concerns that
I had with Dumbledore, lol. And Harry defending Dumbledore. Snif.
Cave is so much more sad for me now. And Dumbledore did not
**fake** anything in the cave, he was reliving true horrors of his
past.
So, yeah I am amazed how JKR made me like the character so fast.
