Deathly Hollows

Yay Neville! Go Neville! Seriously. I was hoping when he killed Nagini that he would have killed Voldemort, but I guess that even without it both boys really fulfilled the prophecy together. My personal fanon now has Neville as Head of Gryffindor.

Ooh, Rowling you tricked me! I figured when George lost an ear that the twins were safe. Though I am glad that Percy is back in the fold. I see him taking over the more boring buisness aspects of Weezley Wizarding Wheezes.

One of the the things that I consistently love about the Harry Potter books is that Rowling isn't afraid to give her characters more complex personalities. I loved that James was a prat. And I love that Dumbledore turned out to have a complicated past as well.

I loved both Lupin's panic over being a father-to-be, and Harry chewing him out.

Long haired Harry!? Noooo! Don't you know a good hair cutting charm? (Although it would have helped disguise-wise)

Hermione having to spell her parents to forget her? Harsh. Totally harsh, and I love Herimone for being able to do it.

I didn't care much for the epilogue, (after OotP I'm convinced Harry needs to be a teacher, he was good at it!!) but I do love Albus Serverus. I hope that if Rowling ever does decide to write more books in the wizarding world that we get to meet up with Albus again.

Ravenclaws have to answer a riddle to get into their common room? LOVE.

Like everyone else, I love BFF Little Severus and Lily. However for some reason I imagine them entirely as Arina Tanemura chibis. Like so. (I have been entirely unsucessful at finding pictures of chibi Noin, who would obviously be Snape.

And there is more, but I will have to think of that later.

I am still somewhat traumatised by this.

You know, as content as I am without the series wrapped up, I hope that the planned dictionary will be the last for this verse. She's a far better world-builder than she is a writer and I just want her to politely close the door and give us some privacy to play with the fanon.

Er . . . 'with how', not 'without'.

I'd be happy for more, to tell the truth. Though I'd love to see a different world too. I'd hate to think that this is the last we see of JK Rowling.

Is there a planned dictionary? That's awesome. I really want like, 7 gigantic volumes of authors notes, full of her scribbles, ideas and all the stuff that didn't make it into the books.

. . . I'd like that just to see what the hell those curtains that killed Sirius were about.

I mean, really, huh?

(I do find it sort of funny that there were two things I thought were really stupid in book five, the killer curtains and Snape's worst memory and that I thought that it was the curtains she'd eventually justify and then it turned out to be the other way around.)

I did notice in re-reading some of the other books (and during DH) that a lot of ghosts/visions of the dead are described as being seen through a veil. It's a doorway to the afterlife, I'm reasonably sure (since it was a RED studding curse that hit Sirius before he fell through). What I want to know is what the hell it's doing in the basement of the Ministry.

Maybe they have some wizarding equivalent of NASA and they send house elves in space suits in there.
