"oh, don't mind me....I'll just stay here and crumble."

possibly one of my all-time favorite lines. evah. i need me some DH icons.

I think my favorite line was Hermione's discussion on how wizards are always comparing wand sizes. I started giggling as I was reading that bit.

I was also very happy about Snape. Yay Snape!

I rather liked Krum's line "I dont remember discussing my wand with my fans". Hmm...I wonder if that's a popular topic.
I loved the book, though. I thought it was fantastic, though I could have done without the epilogue.

Yeah. I would have rather had Harry apologizing to Ginny for pulling a Spiderman (if you haven't seen the movies, in either the first or second Spiderman refuses to date MJ because it will put her in danger) in the main text, instead of the epilogue.

I found the theme of "get into big trouble, and then get out of it in 1.5 sentences." a bit repeatative. I had to re-read the escape sequences a few times b/c I missed them the first time.

I liked the exposition into Dumbledore's past, makes him more of a person.

I don't like how Snape died, that could have been done better.

Happy that Harry finally outthought his opponent instead of lucky fumbling.

Locket felt like a LotR ripoff.

Overall I liked it, but Harry should have died and stayed dead.

I was thinking he was going to die when he was at bathilda's house, and his scar was hurting...I though Voldemort had taken possession of his body for good, and the rest of the book would have harry being forced to watch his body do deeds of horrible destruction.

And when he "died" I knew he would be resurrected/whatever happened because there were too many pages left in the book.
