[QUOTE="Tarrasque Wrangler, post: 968331, member: 7473"] So, I just finished the book about a half-hour ago. Some thoughts, curiously fragmented (possible spoilers, but it says so in the thread title, so no lame spaces): The "OK Corral Gunfight" at the Ministry was just wicked cool. I swear on a stack of bibles, I actually yelled, "YES!" and made the devil-horn hand salute in the middle of the breakroom at work when I got to the part where Dumbledore made his entrance, blowing away Death Eaters left and right. Was anyone else thinking "This is gonna look bitchin' in the movie version". Umbridge may have been a walking cliche, but she was still nasty. I had a teacher like this once in sixth grade; he just seemed to get off on humiliating children. I think if he'd been allowed to hit us, he probably would have. So I guess that made her a little more believable to me than some of you found her. Harry was sure sullen, wasn't he? Still though, I know lots of teenagers who are less well-adjusted than him who don't also bear the burden of Savior of the World. The Cho romance angle left me a little cold, I wish more would have happened in the end. I guess it points up what happens when boys don't have strong father figures growing up. Harry really didn't seem to know his you-know-what from a hole in the ground, did he? Hell, I needed a father AND a stepfather to make sense out of women for me when I was growing up, and I've totally got that down now :rolleyes: Hermione was great, Ginny was even moreso. Love how these characters are developing. Fred and George, and especially their escape from Hogwarts, were the best thing about this book. I hope they stay close to the story, they just have a neat attitude and reaction to all the grimness in their lives. If I've gotta wait 3 years for the next book, I ... I don't know what I'll do. Something awful, like an Unforgivable Curse. [/QUOTE]
