HAHAHAHA!!! That seriously made me laugh and I dont know why...it struck me as incredibly funny.


Yes, the spoiler tag is really important. Being an avid Harry Potter fan (or I guess you could say my life is practically devoted to Harry Potter...), I would be extremely upset if someone ruined the fact that

Lupin and Tonks die

. I would appriciate EAR if you would edit your post and put the spoiler tags in. The spoiler tag is really fun for some reason, and it would be the perfect oppertunity, EAR, to try it out yourself! *thinks back...oh I remember my first spoiler tag*

I personally thought the book was horrible. Everybody lost about 70% of their former IQ points (except for possibly Snape in the present day, Neville and Luna) and personality (except for the three above - yep, even Snape in his own memories lost all of his former personality); the plot was cliche and too duxce ex-machened(?) all the way through (I mean, seriously, being able to sort through Voldemort's memories without him noticing?).

There's loads more, but I'll leave it there for the moment.

I was....somewhat disappointed with the Deathly Hallows, but that was only because I thought that the book was out of proportion. The unimportant parts were long, and the important ones weren't long enough. But, overall, I thought that it was wonderful.

This x1000.

Also, I was really happy to see Neville really come into his own (

killing Nagini

).

I was a fan of Neville since the first book - before it was cool!

[shesabrandybuck]

I love Neville too.

I was really expecting him to be one to die, too. I was so happy when he didn't!! But, I cried myself to sleep every night when I found out Fred did. It still makes me very upset...

You know, you could have fooled me. I thought your life was devoted to Link and the playing of Zelda games. Now, on to more pressing business...

Ooohh... spoiler tags!

I agree with the idea that the unimportant parts were too long. A LOT of the book takes place in

various forests,

for example. The only part where that setting is exciting is when the

Horcrux is found in the woods.

My favorite part would definitely be the unraveling of Snape. The fact that

Dumbledore's trust proved true, and the faith he had in love also was true

helped the book be good, despite all its cheesiness (which I must admit IS there). In fact, I think this book has officially made Snape my favorite character, although Neville is a very good choice too.

And it's funny, because the whole Gringotts episode reminded me of a story written before the Deathly Hallows, based on Harry Potter, on a site called Mugglenet.com. It's called [url=http://mugglenet.com/editorials/themagicquill/index.shtml]The Magic Quill[url]. The story is one of those weekly posted things and the part I'm talking about is probably in the archives by now... But this wizard who reminds me of Sirius gets caught in a (spoiler following because of similarity to book)

Gringotts vault with a bunch of clowns and they escape ... I think using a dragon, IIRC.

Anyway. That's it, I think. I like the Deathly Hallows on the whole.

Have you read it yet, Rian???

[shesabrandybuck]

Yes, I do in fact love Link and Zelda, but Harry Potter, The Beatles, Monty Python, and LOTR (obviously), are also my favorite things

Snape is officially my favorite character too. I knew this would happen in the end

i knew he was good all along

My goodness, you have a lot of things to which you've devoted your life...

I like how you say he's "officially" your favorite. That's what they put in the history books, eh?

[shesabrandybuck]

Ah, well, there are so many things in life to love, and I enjoy mine
Yes, officially my favorite. James, Sirius, and Fred are also very close...

[Midge]

Haha...
