What I Loved

Holy cow. KIDS read this?! How incredible. I thought I was jumping to conclusions when my dad read an article about the book and told me that it's just like 9/11 and I told him to be quiet before he ruined it for me. But it really was like 9/11. With their own Homeland Security and everything. The last scene (if you haven't read it and want to, stop reading here) was more gruesome than I had ever given Rowling credit for. Far, far more gruesome. I had to mime retching and put the book down a few times to accentuate my point to the people around me. And someone, I'm not going to say who, dies. But it's pivotal. And very sad. I cried. Harry is beginning to piss me off a little. Wish Hermione had gotten a little more airtime. And not just as the girl who is creating a lot of sexual tension between her and Ron.
