Maybe it's because I just woke up, but rude much.

And yes, since this post was directed to me, I did take offense to it.

I'm not frickin stupid, I did see that the thread said spoilers but I also know that people on this frickin forum bitch, moan, whine and complain when they stupidly read something even though it says "spoilers" all over it. So pardon me for actually "warning" those people to stop reading

I was trying to be considerate to those people who still read threads like these and then as I said "bitch, moan, whine and complain" because they have been "spoiled". I guess I was being too nice.

De-lurking to throw in my two knuts...

While I laughed at Molly's outburst and subsequent fight with Bellatrix, I think I laughed more when Dumbledore revealed that Snape had to kill him and Snape's response was "What? Now? or should I give you time to write your epitaph?" Or something to that effect. (Maybe I was just exhausted.)

Chapters I definitely have to re-read for clarity:
Chapter 13 - the Ministry mission
Bathlida's secret (I went cross eyed trying to read it and keep the facts straight)
And the last couple o' chapters. Especially Harry's monologue and whole "who's the Elder Wand's true owner," etc.

I thought the epilogue was all Velveeta cheese... but I was left with similar questions as pp have mentioned. (Jobs, did they finish, who's in charge, etc.) Did anyone get ages from the children? (Lily was underage, James was older, Albus is 11... didn't catch the other 2 children.) Maybe she did this to put all of the crazy H/Hr and R/Hr and H/G shippers at ease.

Wasn't their something about Lily's hand at charms being really important... wasn't that a clue before this book came out? Or was that plot point nixed?

And how the HELL are they going to make this a movie? The small plot points were important. Especially, how are they going to bring back Dobby after not seeing him since the 2nd movie? Spoiler: (Only to kill him again.)

Maybe I'm the only one that thought Deathly Hollows was a location...

A small part of me would have gotten a kick out of Krecher with the fake locket saying "My Precious..." but that's just me. LOL.

Also, I thought Peter Pettigrew would help Harry at some point (since Harry saved his life) to honor the magic that happens when a wizard saves the life of another wizard (this was hinted at in book 3). Yet another thread that didn't get tied up.

I seriously doubt this will happen, but would anyone else be excited if JKR wrote a prequel? I would love to find out more about young Lily, James, Sirius, Lupin, and Snape.

O GOD NO!!!! Last thing we need is a Star Wars Prequel Syndrome!!!

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!

1. Snape liked Lily

2. Snape came from a dysfunctional family

3. Snape and Lily went to the wrong school

4. Snape fell in with the wrong crown partly because his social standings weren't up to muster and he was not James Potter

5. Snape had an unrequited love for Lily

6. Lily dies and Snape agreed to watch out for Potter

WE DONT NEED ANOTHER BOOK FOR THAT!

LOL...We're going to have to agree to disagree. There's a wealth of opportunity there, details to be added and expanded on. Just because you don't approve of what happened with Star Wars doesn't mean a prequel by JKR wouldn't be awesome

. It's a moot point anyway, because I doubt a prequel will ever happen. I can hope though!

But he did. Instead of alerting the other Death Eaters as Harry & Co. were about to escape Malfoy's, he killed himself with the silver hand. Not exactly the most direct way of helping, but still...

I enjoyed the book even though I read quite a few of the spoilers and was aware of some of the inconsistencies. Cheesy as the epilogue was, it didn't bother me that much.

OK- I totally missed that, oops. I'm rereading the book now so hopefully I'll pick that up the second time around.

Dobby never died in the film...just not seen since...and ditto on the Hallows and Kreacher...I was saying that myself....anybody ever see that easter eggon the Two Towers DVD at the MTV awards when Smeagol calls Dobby out?

"Dobby's a F*cking FAAAAAGGGG!!"

Sorry... wasn't quite clear. I shouldn't have said "again" in the spoiler. Of course, if folks only followed the movies, bringing house elves into the movie storyline again might be more trouble than its worth. (Sad, because Dobby in book 7 is pretty flipping significant.)

WOW! That little outburst was uncalled for! My post was directed at everyone who felt it 'necessary' to but their super-extra spoiler protection to their post. Personally, if people want to bitch and moan about reading spoilers they preferred not to in a thread specifically marked "Spoilers" its their own fault.
