Overall:
It was nothing like what I expected. Well, with the obvious exception of my EXACT ESSAY on Snape being TOTALLY CANON in EVERY WAY. That was awesome to read. LOL.

HOW MUCH DID YOU CRY WHEN HE SAID "Look... at... me..." for his last words to Harry because HE WANTED TO LOOK ONE LAST TIME INTO LILY'S EYES?!!?! OMG!!! *CRIES LIKE WHOA*

Remus+Tonks:
... I just really don't get it. I... WHAT?! Seriously!! I really didn't like Remus there for a while! HE WAS CONTRACTING HIS WORDS!! D: I just. He was so incredibly HUMAN, I think. I kinna feel like I probably put him on a pedistal, and he slipped. I thought he was over the whole "I'm not worthy" thing... but he wasn't. And he was RECKLESS and so... un-Remusie for a while there. And I'm not talking about the fight he had with Harry (which was awesome, and I said that he was gonna lose it btw, LOL, though obviously I thought it was going to be Snape and not Harry >.> LOL)... Him looking sad was what did it to me. He did such a bad job of concealing it, and that screams OOC Remus to me. But hey, guess not.

TEDDY REMUS LUPIN FTW. LMFAO. OMG. How AWESOME is that name?! XDDDDD I knew the minute I read Ted had died (*wibbles*) that they'd have a boy and he'd be called Ted (or maybe Edward, I thought (that's the origin of Ted)). But TEDDY is AWESOME. XDDDDD And dude! Go Remus. Tonks was totally knocked up in the space of a month!! HAHA. I've always said he's POWERFUL. XDDDDD Also: Teddy's situation is some kind of bizzare cross between Harry and Neville's (if he lives with Dromeda, which I suspect he will).

I totally just worked out who Victoire is (the girl Teddy was "snogging"). *headdesks* Bill and Fleur's daughter! :D YAY!! Bit funny that they've both got father's who were mauled by Fenrir Greyback though, LOL. Teddy is my new favourite character. I want to draw him SO BAD. He'd be SUCH a heartbreaker, OMG, SO EXCITED <3333

I don't want to talk about... yeah. You-know-what.

There is going to be some effing GREAT fanfiction re: missing moments with them. I just... I'm not gonna read any that lead up to... it. I still can't even- ... it's so horrific to me.

It's quite strange though... because I've always said that Remus needed to be happy at the end of DH... and he kinna was. Well... maybe not happy, but okay.

AND LOL. Remus has THE MOST subtle nicknames EVER. Romulus and Moony? TOTALLY inconspicuous XDDDDD LOL. But he didn't care that they knew who he was so yeah. :)

Malfoys:
WTF DRACO. WTF. ELDER WAND. DESTROYER. DRACO WAS MEANT TO GET THE WAND?!?!?! LMFAO! So cool.

He's DRACO, not Malfoy throughout the book. HEEE :D

"Hawthorn and unicorn hair. Ten inches precisely. Reasonably springy." I was SO WORRIED for him when Ollivander said he had a Unicorn hair in his wand, btw. LOL. But yay! Innocence and no death!! :D

Interesting that Harry notes that Draco is slightly taller than him (YES. RETURN OF THE TALLNESS), and yet Harry's wand is longer? I thought it went by heights. Maybe Draco doesn't have to compensate for something, LMFAO XDDD

And we never got to see his Patronus :C

BUT DUDE. THE MALFOYS FTW. THEIR LOVE WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE IT. BOTH Lucius and Narcissa's absolute despiration towards Draco was SO FUCKING MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOME.

It looked like Lucius and Draco had the same epitome at the end of HBP. LOL. Cept Draco was taking it BETTER. GUYS. LUCIUS = WHIPPED. LMFAO. Draco > Lucius. HEHEHEHEHE. TIS CANON NOW BIATCHES.

Also: OMG. Draco was SO effing concerned about Crabbe and Goyle!! OMG!! He SAVED Goyle, and wouldn't leave without him!! :O And the first word out of his mouth was to the welfare of Crabbe, OMG. WIN. (SO SAD BTW!! NUUUUU JAMIE WAYLETT CAN'T DIE! HE'S TOO CUTE!! MAKE JOSH HERDMAN DO IT XDDD) My view of "he doesn't want anyone to die" was totally canon. He refused to identify Harry, Ron and Hermione conclusively because of it. And he is just SO EFFING CONFUSED throughout as to who's side he's on, LOL. And so is everyone else. Damnit, the Malfoy's have their OWN side. THEY CAN AFFORD IT.

DRACO = RECEEDING HAIRLINE FTWWWW... SRSLY. That was totally JKR going "HAHA he aint so pretty NOW" to all the fangirls XDDDDD LOL And Draco and "HIS WIFE". Not Pansy then? 0.o Makes sense actually after her outburst. I think they really drifted towards the end. SCORPIUS?!?!?!?! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. SO MADE OF WIN. Oh, but Ron says that Scorpius is a pureblood... so maybe it IS Pansy... or just another random one, lol. I SO WANNA DRAW LUCIUS BEING A GRANDFATHER, OMG. XDDDDD

LOL. It freaks me out that Tom Felton was more accurate with his Draco pedictions than I was ^^; LOL. I mean, it's totally good! He obviously is really on the same wavelength as JKR regarding him. But I'm a bit embarressed. HAHAHA. Not only does he get a Gryffindor vs. Slytherin show down, he's definitely NOT got girls on the radar at all during that final year. I mean, I didn't think they would be either, but I thought we might see him and Pansy clutching each other or something at some stage, lol. He was very family oriented instead, which was good.

Random:
OMG. PERCY. ILU. XDDDDDDDD
Greyback was like... not there. It was strange. I was expecting... more. And more werewolf stuff in general actually.
I was seriously miffed that Zacharius Smith bailed.
Kingsley = Lynx and Arthur = Weasel FTW.
Fred calling George "Lugless" LMFAO. AWESOME.
I still don't like Dumbledore. And in actual fact, dislike him a lot more now.
PISSED that the Slytherin's didn't unite with the rest of the school (bar Snape).
Neville = total badarse.
Molly kills Bella? I'm happy with that.
Harry = horcrux? Well... it's practically the oldest theory out there, LOL. I thought he was, then wasn't, then was and then finally wasn't again. And I'm so happy he didn't die btw. LOL. I said I was looking forward to liking him; and I did.
KREACHER IS SO EFFING AWESOME. AS IS REGULUS. OMG. He actually DIED when he GOT IT?! Dude. Respect. Plus, HE was the Quidditch player and NOT Sirius! Interesting :D
Speaking of AWESOME. DUDLEY. HELLAYES. ILU BIG D.
The Grey Lady + The Bloody Baron = OTP. :D
SLIGHTLY freaked out that there was a character in the Marauder's timeline called "Mary Macdonald" as I had "Mary Monahan" in my fanfic. 0.o LOL.
Harry is basically naked (if not actually) like, THREE times in this book!! I think JKR saw too much Equus. LMFAO.

'Why're they all staring?' demanded Albus, as he and Rose craned round to look at the other students.
'Don't let it worry you,' said Ron. 'It's me. I'm extremely famous.'
OMG LMFGDAO. YES. You totally rock, Ron.

I actually didn't mind the Epilogue. I know a lot of people HATE it, but I kinda liked it. I liked how Harry acknowledge Snape's bravery, and the joking about Rose getting involved with Scorpius, OMG, FAN FIC ALERT, LMFAO. XDDDDD Btw, it's totally James Sirius Potter isn't it? LOL.
HP/GW = James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily... Nymphadora? LMFAO. Assuming they've decided to name them after the fallen and not themselves.

Things that weren't answered:
Draco = marked or not!? Although we are told that only INNER CIRCLE DEs get them. He WAS at the meeting, but so was Narcissa...
I might be REALLY slow... but where does the US cover fit into all this?
... I kinda wanna know WHO killed Rem... damn I can't even write it... Remus and Tonks. Btw, I LOVED Tonks just so freaking much near the end of it. She was so strong and awesome. And there I go crying again... lol. :(
What does Dudley hear when he's near Dementors?
Like I mentioned before; Draco's Patronus.

Aaaand... that's all I can think of atm. LOL. I was in the news quite a bit because I was the first one to get a copy in Sydney at Dymocks. So, there's some media floating around if you wanna track it down, LOL. Bed now.

Peace,
Rotae
