Books: Harry Potter 7 - Finished It

Just finished the book today. Yup, taking my time. It's really hard to say goodbye. After years and 7 books, it finally ended. No more. The closest I can think of was the end of "Friends".

Was right about Snape. Was right that all the while he's been protecting Harry. And in the end, he's so much more of a man than the rest put together.

Fred died. Ever since the twins did the fireworks stunt and how funny and crazy there are in the movies, Fred and George have been in my list of favorites. It's so sad reading how George knelt at Fred's body presumely weeping. Would George still be as reckless, funny and crazy as before? No one knows. But they were inseparable it's hard to imagine one of them gone.

Percy came back. If not because of Fred's death, it would've been such a wonderful ending to the Weasley family. And he has good sense of humor! I think he would team up with George and run the Weasley store.

What happened to Umbridge at the end?

Harry - such luck many, many times. Must be the protective mother's shield in his blood.

Hermione - too much sobbing. Understandable though - she sent her parents of to Australia and modified their memory to save them, went on the quest to the unknown, faced tortures and death, the feelings for Ron... (Adda would love the ending! Hehehe...).

Ron - the DA classes must have done him good because he casted (and memorized) amazing spells. He's no more the dimwit character.

The ending. Nice. The Dark Lord defeated by a 17 year old is a bit far fetched especially when it's revealed how stupid Voldermort actually is at the end. Ok, maybe not stupid but ignorant. I mean, if he is clever as he's been portrayed (the best in class, etc), how can he not understand and realize a lot of stuff. But perhaps being at the top with death eaters at his feet (most of them not so bright at all) brought him down. Harry was surrounded by clever people, Voldermort was by idiots and fools who can't really give good advise.

I'm re-reading the book tonight.

Goodbye Harry Potter and friends. Thanks for the adventure.
