45 minutes ago, I finished the last Harry Potter book. I can die now.

Seriously though, it is the best book I've read all year. JK Rowling did an amazing job and I think the book will please every fan, it works every way. And the good thing was that it changed my opinion about a lot of the characters.

Harry - It was nice to see him mature a lot, but not in a bad way as he has done in some of the previous books. He seemed to me to be a lot more human this time, and I felt like I could connect to him more.

Ron - Meh, I've never really liked Ron. Not because he was annoying, just that he never really stood out for me that much, and it was the same with this book. Damn him for walking out though, I don't care if he came back, he's still a prat.

Hermoine - I'm still unsure. I really detested her throughout the series, even though I'm not sure why. She wasn't as bad in this book. I liked that her and Ron ended up together, I think pretty much everyone expected it.

Ginny - Loved her in this book, becauseher relationship with Harrywas handled very delicately and it worked. I found myself caring a lot about them in the final half. And when Harry decided not to say goodbye to her, I was nearly screaming at the book. Not on Harry,noton.

Snape - I KNEW IT! Always suspected Snape was on the right side,and when he died, yes I'll admit, I cried a little. Snape is probably the only character aside from Sirius and Lupin that Iever really connected with,and watching him die sucked beyond belief. But again, it was handledvery well, andThe Prince's Tale was by far the best chapter in the book. RIP Snape!

Lupin - Great guy. Always. Liked seeing him and Tonks, although I'm still not sure about the kid storyline. Still, great guy.

Weasleys (in general) - Thought they really worked in this book, especially Molly with her genius quote "Not my daughter, you b!tch!" Hilarious. Fred and George, fantastic. Percy's arrival, nicely played. Percy's joke... horrendous.

The Malfoys - Liked them a lot in this episode. I felt I really saw them for who they were, and gained a new found respect for Draco of all people. Liked Narcissa a lot.

Dumbledore - His back story was brilliant, it was nice to see him as a character who wasn't perfect. Far from it, in fact. But it was also nice to see his obvious regret. A nice way to put his character to rest, so to speak.

Some great quotes/lines. Here are but a few:

"You were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin, and he was possibly the bravest man I ever knew."

"And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred's eyes started without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face."

"But the owl lay motionless and pathetic as a toy on the floor of her cage." - RIP Hedwig.

"The green eyes found the black, but after a second something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more."

"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU B!TCH!"

"Oh, well, lucky we've got such a large supply of Basilisk fangs, then. I was wondering what we were going to do with them."

Well, that's enough HP adoration for now. There will probably be more to come, though, so keep your eyes peeled. Cheerio for now!
