Eww. We are not pleased. Even stuck to the pure-bloods. Ew. Still believe he's gay.

DOES SHE SAY IF HE GOT THE DARK MARK?!?!?!???????

BAH HUMBUG

Nooo. No, no, noo.

>:(

...I should know who Astrio Greengrass is, shouldn't I?

I'll just...go back underneath my rock now.

...Why do I feel disappointed having learned this? :/

LOLZ R U SRS?!

Where'd you hear that from?! :O

I didn't think he married Pansy. I mean, surely she would have been mentioned in the epilogue if he had. But younger sister of Daphne Greengrass? That's very random! At least she would have been a Slytherin lol.

I really wish I didn't know that :/. I mean, I know she was asked and she had to answer it but I wish she wasn't asked. I'd like to leave some stuff up to my imagination and other people and all that stuff. I swear, somebody asks me stuff like this, I'm just going to do what JKR in The Simpsons says to Lisa when she asks what happens to Harry.

"He grows up and marries you."

Aww. I heard Astoria and thought "Astoria... Victoria... Well, she was close!"

ASTORIA GREENGRASS.

..... Dear god, I can feel the Mary Sue RPers coming out of the woodwork RIGHT THIS MOMENT. Sweet green apples, at least it wasn't Daphne. Saves me from this CRAZY STALKER GIRL I've been stuck playing with a couple of times. She'll just switch to Astoria now, I WEEP I TELL YOU I WEEP

*merrily ignores this bit of information* LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU JKR.

lol oh god. i know people who are going to slit their wrists reading this. lol sometimes you wish fans would stop asking specific questions so that we can all share what is left to enigma and have room for personal significance with the end of HP. oh well. i'm sorry :/ at least you feel close to the mark, yes? one of my best friends invented draco a wife who is so offff the mark from daphne's sister that it will all have to be rendered au or nixed altogether. she's deeply into this character so it will actually pain her i think :/ now i'm glad i never DID speculate.....

and honestly i'm of the opinion that there was no literary excuse for the death of lupin, that it not only didn't enhance the plot or effect of the story but rather worsened it by numbing us to the tragedy of the death toll and the overwhelming loss of war itself via "coming upon their bodies" already dead. in addition, morally, i take DEEP PERSONAL offense to the killing off of the ONE CONSPICUOUS CHARACTER WITH HEALTH DISABILITIES. she had every bit the talent to write lupin a significant happy ending. instead, she orphaned his son of both parents right when his life had become all he had ever wanted. as much as one can say "look on the good things and always be able to remember him fondly" were he a real person, i place myself in Lupin's shoes (all my friends and family say that I am basically Lupin with Dumbledore's assertiveness) and resent my dispensable nature in JKR's eyes, in order to sell more shock-value copies of her final book.

It makes me so sad. I revered JK Rowling. She was literally one of my cultural heroes and icons. I thought of her as a brilliant author of literature and a phenomenally healthy role model for young feminist women and anti-bigotry ethics. Now, though she is still these things, she has sold out in other ways. I know you disagree with me, and will provide many reasons why. That's okay. Go ahead, feel free, and I respect that you disagree. <3 But I will continue to be disappointed by Rowling, and place her, intellectually and emotionally, on a literary/cultural level below that of the greats.

I promise this is the last time I will diss her.

I suppose all I am trying to say is, MAN do I understand your frustration <3

Hey Nikki! I was wondering if I can scav the recipe for strawberry champagne off you please? I told my Mum how awesome it was and she wants to make it now!!
