You predicted Snape having the doe patronus?! Impressive.

But oh my word. I started it at like, 6am this morning. (due to my extended stay at the house of one Vulpix.ck, we had a pact to not read the book until I left for home, which happened to be at about 6am today)

Bad experiences with plane-airsickness caused lots of pauses in my reading experience, and then various other necessary transport-switchings lead to me actually finishing it about 12 hours after starting, which is certainly a horrendously poor record for me. (although I went for my hair cutting in between as well as being dragged shopping with mum ><)

I was very satisfied with how JK ended it all. And YAY! I KNEW Snapey was good! This makes me happy. And I've read a bit of Snape being in love with Lily in my fanfic lately anyway, so that concept wasn't all too alien. I really loved the way we got some backstory on poor Severus too. It was lovely finally seeing those secret meetings with Dumbledore, and especially sweet having all my theories on WHY he was good being proved. XD

I loved the way that it all just dived into the action, as well. Poor Hedwig's death was the first time I cried, I was more in shock for Mad-Eye, Dobby hit me SO hard, then Fred, Remus and Tonks ARGH! (short pause to grumble for the lack of Remus/Sirius shippage in the canon) Poor Remoo. *sob*

Thing was though, I thought that after a while, all the deaths just kinda... lost their import. They stopped having such a HUGE effect on me after so many. And hah, I saw an interview with her on Jonathon Ross and she mentioned how everyone presumed that only two people would die. She said it was a bloodbath. And how right she was. (since, you know, she's the author and all, heh)

Urm, lemme see. I'm with Chris on liking all the Patronuses too. I love seeing what each persons' will be.

Molly totally kicked arse, the house elves kicked arse at the end, (I LOVED seeing them knifing Death Eaters in the knees )...

And now... now I have to come to terms with the fact that it's all over. No more Potter. *cries*

I reckon I'm gonna read it again when I go to bed tonight. Or at least, the ending few chapters, so it really absorbs. Cos I got made to put shopping in the cupboards when I was in the middle of reading the big Hogwarts battle. I swear, my parents are EVIL!
