The one witht he spoilers
16 Jul 2005 09:36 pmDefinitly my favourite book of the serie so far.
I am quite glad that JKR seems to share my love for the Family Black as a whole, especially :
Chapter 2 : Cissy and Bella. How very gorgeous.
Phineas who we kept seeing as well.
Finally making me like and find interesting the only Black spawn I didn't like so far. That's Draco, in case you couldn't guess.
R. A. B. who is obviously Regulus Black and I think that's the one I'm the most exhilarated about, given that Regulus is my favourite backstory character. The coincidence of telling us Regulus had a few days of running before he was killed, and the formulation on the message leaves no doubt to me.
I found myself liking Slughorn a great deal. He's so.... slugish, and slimey, and flamboyantly cowardly. I really like him as a Slytherins that Harry doesn't actually hate. Oh, and the fact he was so fond of Lily is really cute. It's very funny how the one character who's the first to tell Harry a lot about his mother would be... that kind of character.
Talking about slimey character, I find muself liking Mundungdus even more than I did before. Very enjoyable scum, he is.
Lastly, about Snape. Oh, does anybody actually believes he wasn't asked by Dumbledore to kill him (both to save his life and to preserve Draco) ?
After the conversation that Hagrid witnessed where Snape argues he didn't want to do something ?
After the whole book being named after Snape ?
After the whole deal being so that Snape could teach Harry a lot ? (such a beautiful irony)
After the fact this is happening in tome 6, and not in, you know, tome 7 where it would have been so much more dramatic ?
Oh well, if you want to.
Ship wise. I'm glad for the Ron/Hermione. Harry/Ginny, errr, whatever. I actually liked Ginny a great deal in that book, but it did came out of the blue. Oh well, I don't care much. Remus/Tonks.... meh. Very meh. Not that I dislike Tonks, but.... oh well, I hope she turns evil, she would be the most fun character to turn treator at the last moment (and i thought so before this book in case you wonder)
no subject

I think Snape/Harry/Draco is my new favourite triangle. Granted, Harry/Tom/Ginny is still going strong...
