I wasn't thrilled with this book for a few reasons:
- 1. I saw friggen spoilers on LJ by accident (people had them as buddy icons) and went into the book "knowing" that snape was the hbp, dumbledore would die, and snape would be the one to kill him. pretty much ruined the book for me - no surprise really
- 2. Dumbledore was by far my fav character. However, there was something in book 2 about him never truly leaving Hogwarts as long as there is someone there who believes/supports him (something like that) Hopefully he'll make some sort of appearance in some way or another in book 7
my prediction for the end?
Harry will beat Voldemort (no surprise there) and the Death-Eaters and thereby eliminate the need for Aurors... so instead, Harry will take over as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. He's proven himself as a teacher and he has the ultimate experience. I think it'd be a nice ending
