You know the weird thing is, I was the saddest when Hedwig and Madeye Moody died. It was just so sudden, at the beginning of the book. Of course when Fred died it was sad, but when he died so many people (and animals?) have died too, and the book almost ends, so it doesn’t really catch you off guard anymore. With Hedwig and Moody, you have the whole book to mourn them, while with Fred, a few pages away, and oops it’s finished. Life moves on.

I’m just glad that Harry doesn’t name one of them Dumbledore. Can you imagine any kid named Dumbledore? lol. And Albus is not the coolest name either. Apparently his first son is named James Sirius. Now that’s better.

I don’t think I’m gonna re-read the books. There are so many of them and they’re long!

Hmm…your review makes me feel like re-reading the book again. I read it as soon as it was out and then I think I was upset that the series was finished, so I didn’t want to re-read it because then I would go through the “Oh no, no more Harry Potter anymore” feeling again.

I think the saddest part was when one of the twins died :’(. And I really wanted to know more about the aftermath too, like how did the other twin cope?! And I really did NOT like Harry’s son’s name: Albus Severus. Or Draco’s son! Haha, it was too cliche I think.

I think I’ll put this onto my list of what to read next. :)

LOL. It’s interesting that some people are bothered by some things while some completely don’t pay attention to them. For example, Biblio File mentioned on her review that it bothered her so much that the book doesn’t tell what happens to Lavender Brown. Now that is something that I completely didn’t notice.

The locket annoyed me because it seemed like a plot hole if no good reason can be given to why they should wear the locket.

I’m impressed that you managed to avoid spoilers! My boyfriend hasn’t read the series yet and I keep having to make him avert his eyes or cover his ears :P

Good point about the locket! It didn’t annoy me, but only because I didn’t notice it :P

Suko, have you read the last book? :) Don’t tell me you just read all my spoilers without having read the book! The locket is “destructive” to the one wearing it (it drains them emotionally) and it definitely doesn’t offer protection to them I don’t think.

Mee, you really like the character, Dumbledore. : )
I’m not a Harry Potter “scholar” by any means, but my
guess is they that they wear the locket because it’s a locket, after all, meant to be worn.
Although perhaps the locket offers protection when worn.
