Deathly Hollows

[cutthroatpixie]

I totally loved it, despite the fact that it was kind of on a little bit of crack. Haha.

1. Snape, I love you. Seriously. The whole time I was reading the book, I was hoping everything about him being good, Dumbledore telling him he needed to kill him, etc, was true, and it was and yay. His memories were sad, though. I mean, people in fandom have been saying Snape lurved Lily for years, but his obsession, and friendship, and love for her were rather sad. She was probably his only real friend, poor bloke. I could go on for days. I love Snape because I am way biased. =P

2. I didn't like how Ron mimicked Harry and used Parseltongue. I just don't think it would actually be possible. Hannah, Emily, and I were talking, and it doesn't seem like one of those languages you can learn, you just know it, or else more people would know it (it would be a great language for dark wizards and such to use). It's a fantasy book, so all the stuff about snake noises and human noises being totally different, making it damn near impossible for Ron to actually imitate Harry accurately, can probably be ignored. But still. Didn't like it.

3. Oooh Sirius, how could they take you like thiiiiiiiiiiiis? Haha. That has nothing to do with anything. Anywhore, I loved the scene with Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Harry. It was beautiful, them all being together, even though it wasn't for long, and all but Harry were dead. I just really liked it.

4. MOLLY TOTALLY PWNED BELLATRIX! With her "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" and then BAM, Bellatrix is DEAD. The scene was just great, even though I've been hoping Neville would have been the one to finish her off. He got Nagini good, though. Because he just rocks like that.

5. AS/S. Haha. And ASP. I actually noticed that first. Oi. I was all, "Albus Severus Potter... ASP... lol a snake." Scorpius is a ridiculous name, though. Draco and his lady wife must be on the drugs, I think. Haha.

There were a lot of other things I liked/didn't like (there are more likes), buuuuuut, I got sick of making a list. Haha. Open discussion, people! Oh, and if anyone else made a post about their take on Deathly Hollows, link me, and I'll read it. Haven't read my flist in awhile, and I don't want to miss anything. =)

Seriously. Victoire is Bill and Fleur's daughter I think, but they weren't actually mentioned at all. How'd they get everything cleaned up? How long did it take to gather up all Voldemort's supporters so the war really was over? Taking him out is a HUGE blow to their regime, but there are loads of Deather Eaters and their supporters. It would have taken awhile to get the Ministry back in order, repair the ministry, gather all the bodies and bury them, etc. I wanted to see SOME of that, you know?

And I want to know who married Draco when he is so OBVIOUSLY a queerface. =P

Yeah, that does sound like something they'd name their kid.
Yes, exactly. It's like "oh lol btw voldy is ded & here is harry & co 19 years later kthxbye." Um... but what happened AFTER Voldemort died and isn't two decades later? I want to knowwwww. She could have done a longer Epilogue, even if it were just short glimpses into everyone's lives. I really don't think anyone would complain. Especially after that epilogue reads like total fanfiction. wtf? I think, after all everyone in that book has been through, it's a little unfair to shortchange semi-main characters just because they aren't the main characters. People have grown to love them, I want to know what fucking happened. Did Neville get married? Does he have any kids? What does he do other than being a professor? When did Ron and Hermione finally ADMITTEDLY get together? Is McGonagall still alive? And I love Seamus, what about him? How did George cope with the loss of his twin? What sort of Muggle things is Mr. Weasley getting into trouble with now? etc etc etc.
re: Draco: I know! I keep wondering who the hell he married. And back to your post, Scorpius is a hugely stupid name. My theory is Draco's a total fag and just adopted him. Maybe.

Remember that last time Voldemort disappeared, the death eaters ceased being dangerous because they were in Azkaban/hiding/or too cowardly to act. I don't see that it would be different this time. The Death Eaters aren't too much of a threat without Voldemort himself there. They chased them down and put them in Azkaban, I imagine. I mean with Kingsley in charge, who is like the badass Samuel L Jackson of Wizards, I'm sure it didn't take too long.

I wish we could have at least seen what was up with George and Luna. I think seeing those two would have made it just even more perfect than perfect for me. However, I'm sure someone will ask in an interview and she'll spill.
