The Deathly Hallows (Mark Spoilers!)

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

When I got to the store at midnight, everything was rediculous. Half of the people in line couldn't read past the 2nd grade level =/ I felt ripped off, because I was waiting in line behind kids who don't even know how to read what they are getting.

[Arc_Master_14]

oh god Jk Rowling has just released another version of her cultist bible! Kool-aid anyone?

[scrumpleberry]

Finished it at 4:30 in the morning. Then a sort of sat there for a while. Then I squealed. Then I tried to go to sleep.

This morning I started rereading it.

Snape is my new favourite character. I always scorned the Snape fans along with the Malfoy fans...and now...I am one of them..!


GASP!

Anyway, I thought it was very good.

(SPOILER)The saddest death was Hedwig. She didn't elaborate much on the deaths of Tonks and Lupin...and Neville didn't kill Bellatrix, which I was expecting. I thought Ravenclaw's thingy might have been Auntie Muriel's tiara. The bit at the end with the kids I thought was a bit contrived and confusing, and we didn't find out who Malfoy's wife was. I guessed the doe was Snape's patronus, but I didn't guess the bit about Lily...

Oh my god, I finally got it last night at 12, and aside from sleeping for 4 hours, I've been reading non-stop and oh my god it's amazing so far up to chapter 13 gotta go now bye. <3

[rubah]

I finished it about half an hour ago. Fantastic.

[daggertrepe]

WOW my bro got it last night too. I'm like

"whatever"

I still have to finish the other two before it.

Ah, well. *reads The Lovely Bones*

[Kirobaito]

I have corroborating evidence that I totally guessed (SPOILER)the doe being Snape's patronus, because he was in love with Lily.

I was tired by the time I was reading it, but I'm not sure of something. (SPOILER)How did Harry get control of the Elder Wand? Malfoy was its true master, but because Harry defeated Malfoy in the Room of Requirement, HE became its true master? Otherwise I can't figure out why it would have ever gone from Malfoy's ownership to Harry's.

Didn't like the (SPOILER)epilogue.

But an incredible experience to read, and truly an epic. This series will never go out of style. Odd, though, now, isn't it, to see it finished? I guess it hasn't sunk in yet that I will have no new plot to learn of, and no new pages to turn. Perhaps after I sleep it will have.

[Ouch!]

Freaking awesome, that's what it was.

[YTDN]

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

But....

(SPOILER)WHY DID FRED HAVE TO DIE? WHY? *sobs in corner*

[Rye]

I had a little more to read. I would have been done by now, but I slept for a few hours last night. This is freaking incredible so far.

[Garnie]

yeah the book was awesome! im shocked to see some of you have finished it already lols!

BUT GUESS WHAT (AND IM LOOKING AT YOU DOOMIE) I WAS RIGHT
HA!

[Spiffing Cheese]

I finished it at 3 p.m. and I'm still sitting here spazzing. Oh man.

[Ouch!]

I got home with the book at 1:30-ish AM. I was done by 9:00 this morning. I read slower than I usually do as not to miss anything. One sitting for the win.

(SPOILER)I cried at least three times. Damn it! Dobby! Damn it! Fred! Awesome! Harry and Ginny get together! <3

[Rye]

Oh my god, I just finished it a bit ago. I usually read faster too, but I wanted to savor it so it took me until about 12:30 of last night until 12:30 today. 7-8 considering I was slipping for about 4-5 hours last night. It was PERFECT. Everything was just how I wanted it to be. The book kept making me cry every few chapters.

The sad: (SPOILER)Okay, I really liked Fred and Lupin and Tonks and Dobby and that all made me sad, but I was freaking DEVESTATED over Hedwig and I cried right after reading it. xD

Also, hearing all about Dumbledore's family life made me so sad. It's like... it kind of left a sour taste in your mouth, because you WANT to think of him as perfect, but like the theme in the book goes on, everyone has good and bad in them, and they need to choose.

The Love:
(SPOILER)I absolutely love how Snape tied in, and how they made him brave. I had a feeling every since OOTP that Snape had a thing for Lilly, but the whole of it still blew me away. The epilogue was a little cheesy, but I love Albus Severus' name and the meaning behind it.

I also love how Kreacher had some love. And I love how Neville is a professor, such a fitting end.

Also, "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH" = <3 forever.


Probably my favorite book of all time now.

I know, I felt horrible after reading that! It was awful...
