HARRY POTTER BOOK'S OUT!!!!
yessss!!! harry potter and the deathly hallows is out!!!

'nuff said...



.....ok, maybe not, simply can't resist...

[WARNING, MY FOLLOWING WORDS CONTAIN SPOILERS TO THE RECENTLY OUT HP BOOK. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK, AND EXPRESS A GREAT DESIRE TO DO SO WITHOUT HAVING YOUR FUN SPOILED, STOP READING ----> NOW]


okay, just finished the book [9.30] , would have finished sooner if i didn't stop to watch gladiator and to eat

actually wanted the adult cover, until i saw the children's cover and requested for that one (more colourful, if you must know)
was disappointed at first that the book was not thicker, but now i see that it's length works just fine for the story

okay, here comes spoilers:

  • Hedwig dies. poor thing
  • George i think, loses an ear to Snape's sectumsemptra curse (George was disguised as Harry as a decoy)
  • Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin are married;Tonks got pregnant, and gave birth to Ted, named after her father
  • the Deathly Hallows are three powerful items: an Invisible Cloak, which harry has inherited and is unlike any other; a wand that will win all duels, the Elder Wand; and a stone that brings people back to life, just not exactly back to human state, the Resurrection Stone
  • Dobby dies helping Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ollivander, Luna, Dean, and two goblins escape from the Malfoy mansion.
  • Snape had been in love with Harry's mother Lily since young; they'd been best friends. Snape was a death eater, but joined Dumbledore after voldermort went after Lily and wouldn't acquiesce to Snape's request to spare Lily. Snape did kill Dumbledore, but only because Dumbledore told him to, and Dumbledore was dying anyway.Snape was killed by voldy, though.
  • Fred, Tonks and Lupin are killed in the battle that ensued between defenders of Hogwarts (including the Order of the Phoenix) and the death eaters.
  • Mrs Weasley called beatrix lestrange a bitch for attacking Ginny, and kills her
  • Harry finds out from Snape's memory that Dumbledore kept him alive only because he must kill all voldy's Horcruxes, and then must die, since a part of voldy is in him. so Harry, to prevent any further deaths of loved ones, meets voldy, and faces him, unarmed.
  • voldy tries to kill Harry with avada kedavra using the Elder Wand, but Harry survives because he was willing to die; unafraid to face death
  • draco is not really a complex, misunderstood character after all. he's actually just a frightened little boy, or coward, and has to be saved twice by Harry
  • the last battle between Harry and voldy reveals that Harry is the rightful owner of the Elder Wand, which voldy actually took from inside Dumbledore's tomb, and kills voldy when he disarms voldy with an expelliarmus and voldy's avada kedavra recoils and hits himself instead.
  • In the end, Hermione marries Ron, children: Rose and Hugo; Harry marries Ginny, children: James, Albus Severus and Lily. Ted Lupin is a close family friend, since Harry is his godfather

i think those're the key points in the book, except for a whole chunk of the process of discovering the deathly hallows and such. oh yeah, kreacher is now loyal to Harry since Harry gave him, Regulus' (who is sirius' now dead brother and kreacher's favourite master) locket, and because Harry (and Hermioner) loves elves. serious! he even cares for the Golden Trio and 12 Grimmauld Place like never before. Haha. Okay then, that is it.

i'll just leave you now with a quote, from when Dobby dies:

"And then with a little shudder the elf became quite still, and his eyes were nothing more than great, glassy orbs sprinkled with light from the stars the could not see."
