Too predictable?

 Coming out of my years of lurking.... 

While it was an enjoyable book overall, did you HP experts think 
that some of the main plotlines were too predictable, based on 
the last two years of conversations on this board? 

RAB, Snape DDM and in love with Lily, and Harry as Horcrux, final 
battle at Hogwarts, House elves fighting? By the time I got to 
Harry as the final Horcrux, I pratically shouted out, "Oh good 
grief!" 

I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I wasn't so into 
the world of Harry Potter. But oh well. 

Even I (a newspaper reporter) wrote a feature story a few weeks 
ago telling readers they should remember the character of Krum, 
as he attended Durmstrang and could fill HRH in on some Dark Arts 
info. (Granted, I left out the cup as Horcrux in my story and got 
a few angry e-mails.) 

Either you guys are excellent, or JKR is reading this board. 
Personally, I think the main posters to this board are great, 
and perhaps JKR is a bigger lurker than I am. 

My wizard hat goes off to you guys here. You should definitely
congratulate yourselves for your deep, introspective views over 
the years. I thought there was very little in the book that hadn't 
been discussed here. 

Still have to re-read that whole wand and horcrux thing... for 
the fourth time. Although it will probably be cleared up somewhere 
on this board.
