page 502. Hagrid is so pathetic sometimes. I'm really liking Dumbledore in this book.


oh, and just FYI, in case it wasn't already totally obvious, I'm saying reeeelly vague things about the book for the sake of bride and AG, who haven't read as far yet.

I'm done. I just finished a minute ago. I liked a few things. I disliked MANY things.

What I did like about this book is that it had just as much of an ambiguous ending as the last 2 books. Plenty of mystery left. Plenty of things still unsolved.

Can't wait to hear what other's reviews of it are.



oh, and bride,
Here's my order of books now:
Prisoner of Azkaban
Philosopher's Stone
Order of the Phoenix
Goblet of Fire
Half-Blood Prince
Chamber of Secrets

I wouldn't say disappointment. That's too strong a word. I just didn't care for a few of the turns Rowling chose to take in this one. I definately didn't like the 'ships'. And I don't just mean my personal preference. Some of the scenes toward the end seemed out of character, like you were reading a fanfic or something. There was too much relationship-who's-going-out-w/-who-to-get-back-at-who bullshit. It just didn't seem believable to me. I wouldn't have liked how much of that there was even if the couples I like had gotten together. The only believable interesting pairing got little more than a mention toward the end and I wanted to hear more about that ADULT relationship. I didn't like how not much really got solved in this one. There wasn't much progression in alot of the book. Plus, as I thought, it seems that the "good 'ol days" at Hogwarts are ending. I'm sure there won't be much more of that, but it had to happen someday. I liked that there was more in the way of filling in the holes in Voldemort's story, more about the memories and Tom Riddle. And, on another note, I loved the way McGonagall really stepped up to the plate in this one in a way. ...You'll see what I mean. And I loved the way only the most important characters were present in the very last lines of the book. ...oh, and I LOVED Felix Felicis!

Me neither. It seems like there will be alot to cram in for the last one. So that will be exciting.

From what I have heard of this book, the movie should be better. They will jetison all the fluff and focus on the story and the finale, whihc sounded pretty good.
