Aye, you never know what other emotions, etc. you may have experienced whilst reading that were different from mine. As you can see, I practically cried through the entire book.
EDIT: I thought I'd share this short interview with JK Rowling. In it she talks about many of the unanswered questions people had after reading DH.

^^Thanks for that link, it was awesome...and I read your review, it's very well written and not boring. I'm posting mine, hopefully soon, but with 2 puppies and a 3 yr old running around there isn't much free time...so hopefully i'll be able to post it fairly soon...
I do hope that she does do the HP encyclopedia it would be wonderful to know what everyone is doing...or all of their back stories.

Oh, thank you so much for the link. That really helped fill in the gaps of the spacey epilogue.  At least I'm a bit more satisfied now.
And I must agree- I practically cried throughout the entire book as well.

YES!!!! I guessed right with Victoire! Excuse me while I party...
*dances to "you can't touch this"*
Alright, done. Now, I love that article! It's so great! And and encyclopedia?  That sounds great.

Agreed. Her explanations, as well as the thought of an encyclopedia [squee!  ] Made me feel a bit better about the epilogue. Though I still am not a huge fan of Harry/Ginny. But maybe I'll get over that eventually.

(Nurr, I'm honestly in love with your banner  )
I agree with you about Harry/Ginny, I still don't know what I think of it either. I still sort of ship Harry/Hermione, but I guess that would be a little too predictable.
And I'm too lazy to hunt it up, but YES, Larael, it annoys me to no end when Harry sees stuff about Voldemort. If he'd actually learn Occlumency it wouldn't happen, but he never tries! That said, I liked him a LOT better in this book.
Aha, I thought Victoire was probably Bill and Fleur's

I agree for the most part with you^^
However in the case of Bill in Fleurs children, that's right plural. Because Victoire is their oldest which means there are MORE!!!! I am already excited about the prospect of a HP Encyclopedia.

@ Melda: Lol. I think he was the most mature in this book [obviously..], but I liked that best about him this time. He kept a cool head in most situations even when others didn't believe him instead of getting all emo-ish like in OotP when he had these "vision" things.

He actually annoyed me SO much in OotP, what with all his weird hormones and getting all snappish at random times. I liked him a lot better this time - I mean, he still had a couple shouting matches but hey, they're boys  I was especially impressed that he didn't throw a hissy fit when Ron and Hermione decided that they should go after the Horcruxes and not the Hallows. Go Harry.

A very good chapter by chapter review, too!

I agree, it was really annoying to read about all his anger and arguments, but you're right, he is a teenage boy  , and going through a diffcult time.
And I also think Ron and Hermione's children should have been named after Tonks and Lupin.

Squee! Thanks Taur.  So, not everyone is utterly repulsed or weirded out by Snape's love interest? I think they've got to be the cutest couple ever!
@ Melda:  Gah! I meant the book, but you obviously figured that out. So smart you are..  Anyhoo, you're quite right. Everyone's temper gets the best of them at times but at least he wasn't acting the complete hormonal, teenage git that he was in OotP. I can't wait til they make this book into a movie! Whee!

PoA is always the best. =]]
But shouldn't Teddy be the one to have a little Nymphadora and Remus? I mean, he is their son, after all.

PoA is definately best. Yay for the Marauders!
And I agree with the thing about Harry! He was so anoying in OotP, shouting at everyone all the time. At least in this one, as my sister says, "he grew a brain".

*glances at Larael's siggy set* *begins to cry* Still can't get over Snape...
By the way Lar, I absolutley loved the chapter review. I agreed with basically everything you said.  Oh and thanks for the Rowling inteview link.
Elegost - I agree, the blog review is pretty funny. I can't believe they did it for the entire book though.
