Let's see . . .Kingsley's patronus at the wedding. The simplicity and urgency of the message, When Ron returned and instead of kissing him--she started hitting him (which made me remember that feeling as a teenage girl), Pottercast, Dobby's heroism, the Snape/Lily memories, Ron being able to smash the locket . . there is so much information I can't think. Maybe I'll remember more later---but one of my favorite favorite parts is when they are at Hogwarts and Harry leaves the room of requirement and goes up to Ravenclaw commonroom and then we he gets back it's full of all the people ready to fight. Then the whole fight with the teachers. We never get to see what the teachers actually can do because they were always in Dumbledore's shadow, but we get to see (especially Magonnagall) their magical prowess. That was just cool. I'll think of more later--then I'll post them. I was very sad though about Fred, but I knew that one of the Weasley's was going to get it because it was too unlikely that they would all come out of it unscathed. Dobby didn't hit me as hard although it should have--I think the kids were running around at the time or something. I liked how Malfoy didn't really make it out good or bad, just in the middle because it was more believeable. So that's it for now.
If you want to read something cool read this. It is two writers for The Onion who stayed up reading and blogging back and forth. it takes you through the same emotions as reading it--it was great.
And HOORAY!!! MaGonagall is not a spy. Sorry I even suspected her--Hyrum planted the idea.
The Line at Wal Mart
Almost there
Yes, we took the time to take a photo--and I AM an adult

ok i super love that article! and am fully engrossed in it! so glad you finished i have been dying to know what you thought!
and by the way i am the jerk that made the lame comment to Hyrum at swim lessons a couple years ago, for the sole reason that i was the fat lady in the pool and didn't plan on seeing a guy from highschool. so sorry if i suck, and pass that on to Hyrum. oh and back then my daughter JOY thought your daughter A was pretty fabulous! and wanted to be her friend.
Thanks for the warning label---can't wait to read it! Glad you finished and hope to be there soon--just so I can read your review!
When you finished did you want to start reading it over again.... I have been dying to read it again. I am thinking of having a Harry Potter get together next week to discuss, you interested?
One of my favorite things about the book was that Voldemort died without Harry having to use the killing curse on him. LOVED that!
That was a great blog! Thanks for the link. I wasted a good hour, but it was fun to re-live the book. I've felt a bit blue now it's over, but I'm certainly not going to read it again. This was the perfect answer.
