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

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.

Also, I was really happy to see Neville really come into his own (
I was a fan of Neville since the first book - before it was cool!

I agree with the idea that the unimportant parts were too long. A LOT of the book takes place in
My favorite part would definitely be the unraveling of Snape. The fact that
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)
Anyway. That's it, I think. I like the Deathly Hallows on the whole. Have you read it yet, Rian???

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

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?

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...
