Hey!

Wow!  Here are some of my initial reactions.  I am taking a break 
before I start reading it again.

*Cho sucks - why did she have to turn out to be so annoying?
*H/G - I still have hope!
*Funniest line (had to put book down to laugh for a few minutes): "Of 
course, he may have crawled into the airing cupboard and died... But I 
mustn't get my hopes up..." -Sirius, on Kreacher.
*Best line: "Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than 
outright dislike" -Dumbledore, of course.
*Best character development: Neville, Ginny, Harry.
*I wasn't expecting Sirius to die, and was shaken up enough to have to 
stop reading when he did.  Boy, did I cry!
*Absolutely loved the D.A. classes.
*Hagrid is still a moron.
*It was refreshing to see Harry so angry - it was more real to see him 
throw and break things and yell than to hold back as he did for four 
books.  It was also understandable; I'd feel the same way.

I am incredibly impressed at how many predictions were right-on, from 
people knowing what the Order of the Phoenix is, to Figg being a 
Squib, to Harry visiting St. Mungo's and the MoM.

Wheeeeeee!  We have so much to talk about!

things that went on in OoP *******************************
