Harry Potter 7

[Decker]

I only read the first 5 pages of the first book before I got bored. So does somebody mind PMing me who gets offed? And the page numbers they happen on? Thanks.

/b/.... super odd and weird yet strangely alluring....nvm.
I like the wallpaper sections and the high def areas not to mention the mechs and guns sections too(great wallpapers in those. Other than that I surf Deviant for my "artistic" needs lol.

How come J.K. suddenly decided that Ron could speak Parseltongue? I mean, come on.

Yeah, that did seem a bit odd. The ironic thing was that they didn't even need the basilisk fang anyway, as that mystical fire took care of the ravenclaw horcrux. I suppose there was still the need for them to have a way of destroying it, barring that odd coincidence.

Ron didn't speak Parselmouth, he imitated it. Quite confusing.

And the basilisk tooth was quite handy for mangling the cup from the vault...

I got... uh... emailed... the book, read it in one sitting (when I read, I read)

She's getting been getting more and more arrogant as a writer, you can tell - the books keep getting thicker and, though the plots are undeniably good, the quality of writing is actually pretty poor. Editors generally prune quite a lot of the manuscripts authors churn out - author's are generally too self-invloved to be able to filter out the good from the bad. The cheesiness is, of course, expected in a book aimed at a young audience.

I have a feeling that there were a few plot holes, and/or unsubstantiated leaps of logic, or I may have blanked out every now and then whilst reading - 6.30am is not a time to be finishing a book.

My only gripe with the deaths was

they weren't really to any of the main characters. Basically to very minor characters and a few secondary.

As for her writing.
I'd say she is more like Dan Brown, who is an awful author but a very good storyteller.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Ah, I don't like JKR's writing, so I just watch the movies.

Harry Potter. Harry Potter? Harry PÓTTER? These books and films are to be collected and placed into a gigantic barrel filled with oil whereafter it is all set ablaze by the staccato of a fighter jet's gun.

*runs off*

Harry Pótter. Hah.

Hmm, I dunno, I would consider Voldemort a pretty main character, in addition to Snape. So yeah, the trio didn't perish, but some main characters did die, at least imo. Also, as a sidenote, I never imagined feeling sorry for Snape. Guess I was wrong on that one.

My biggest gripes:

Ron being able to imitate Parseltongue(just seems way too unlikely, even for a story based around magic) and the fact that the end still has me a tad confused(as to how the 'mechanics' of the whole thing worked with Harry and Dumbledore)

Voldemort was always gonna die though. It was either him or Harry, and while i woulda loved Harry to be killed off in the final fight, being the tragic herio he is, I thought it was highly unlikely.
Snape was also a dead cert to die as well. Although the whole plot with Snape was there if you looked closely enough at the previous books.

Though I did hate

the whole convenience of Ron speaking parseltongue.
While it would be simple enough to imitate in theory. It's just way to cheesy.
