spokeOkay. First off, the wait at the bookstore? Was actually a lot more interesting than I thought. I figured I'd end up sitting in a corner playing BoF II on my Gameboy, but I actually ended up joining one of the trivia teams completely by accident.
No, really. I was playing and I kept looking up to answer questions, and finally when the team nearest me was completely stumped, I ended up walking over there and telling them. Thus I was invited to join the team!
The team name was S.P.E.W. XD
Lots of other things going on, stuff being thrown into the crowd and things. Then we all started to pile up at the front - they gave us wristbands when we came in? Gold for people who had reserved a copy, and blue for those who just showed up. I was gold (of course ;p) #136. They called us up in lots of 50, and when lot 100 through 150 was called, I said goodbye to my teammates and scooted.
wheeee - and wtf?!
Neville: omg, she made me wait forever to find out what was happening to Neville! omg, that was worth waiting for!!! Neville freaking rocked! :D :D :D Neville Longbottom, leader of rebellious schoolchildren! XD Killer of Nagini! Herbology Professor, ahhhh! :D
Though when he, Ginny and Luna first showed back up - mentioned for the attempted theft of the sword? o.o;;; I was so sure they were dead, people were dropping like flies and it was scary!!!
Snape: !@#$%^ I knew that was going to happen. My first thought when Voldie gets all 'well you have been very valuable to me' was to stop and think, "Okay. You always knew this was going to happen. Mad optimism doesn't count. You can read this. You have to!"
But, but. Damn. Cut my heart out and make a little fillet out of it! :(
And that he was "that boy", the one Petunia referred to when she knew what dementors were. I always thought "that boy" was James, while they were dating or something. ...oh poor Snape. He was going about that all wrong. I mean, think - Harry could've been Snape's son! He would have had a more interesting name, too. ;p
Kreacher: Okay, I get that this was an attempted resolution of the house-elf thing. And sadly, I can see where Sirius would really never have thought to say 'be a good house-elf, Kreacher'. But also, Harry bribed him to be a good house elf, it does nothing in the long run to further their freedom, and just... it feels like she just found a way for the heroes to feel comfortable about the whole subject and then drop it.
I mean. They made Kreacher be happy. How is that any better than making him be miserable?
Also. He incited the house elfs of Hogwarts to riot. I don't care if he did have them joining in with the good guys, that is the most freaking excellently creepy thing ever. If they can do that, what else could they do?
Molly vs. Bellatrix: Molly?! I mean. Molly Weasley?! First, okay, I cheered because it's Mom defending her kid and that's a theme in the whole series and it's nice to see she can be All CAPS FEROCIOUS to someone other than her children and husband. >.>
But a split second later it was to meep, because this is freaking Bellatrix Lestrange and and. o.o
There is something so ironically screwed up that Bellatrix went the same way Sirius did? Because that was not Molly having any particular skill, that was Bella losing it in the middle of a fight and not paying attention. Fatally giddy, these Blacks.
I want to know what else the Deluminator does. I mean. What was that?!
Fred and George: ;_;
And damnit, Mad-Eye! Tonks and Lupin, freaking @#$ - though to be fair, I thought he was dead as soon as he staggered off happily drunk. I was hissing at them not to let the man go off drunk, who knew where he'd end up and I just knew the next thing we'd hear of him was his death. Well not too much off, was I? x.x
Oh, OH! Molly. That thing bit-of-Voldie said to Ron about her loving him less because he wasn't a girl? Poor Molly. Can you imagine? Because mine goes like:
Firstborn: Oh I do hope it's a girl. Bill
Second: Perhaps now? Charlie
Third: I'd so love a girl, but I'll not get my hopes up... Percy
Fourth: Oooh, twins! And it'll be one girl and one... oh bloody hell. Fred & George
Fifth: It's hopeless, hopeless I tell you! Ron
Sixth: x.x Why do I even bother? Ginny!
And poor Ron, stuck near the end of all that, just the latest boy. Ouch.
Meh. I've been poking at this off and on. Feeling drained and worn out, still. So I give up for now.
