Don't post here if you don't want to know who dies and what happens.

You've been warned.

Omitted from the final edit:

She was dead before being blown up, but was still not very nice!

Blandmum · 21/07/2007 19:35

So upset at lovely fred dying!

GhostofHedTwig · 21/07/2007 19:35

they

always shoot the messenger

AttilaTheMum · 21/07/2007 19:35

Think she was dead before Harry blew up the sidecar actually.

GhostofHedTwig · 21/07/2007 19:34

I'm dead

I've been in it since the beginning

and I DON'T COUNT?

that's feckin' specist that is

AttilaTheMum · 21/07/2007 19:34

Well, MB mentioned you as one of her 6, but Colin Creevy died too (or at least, one of the Creevy boys, not sure if it said which)s0 that makes 7.

Blandmum · 21/07/2007 19:33

Not one of the six, unless you ousted dobby.

But 50 die in all

GhostofHedTwig · 21/07/2007 19:33

woooooooooooooh

twit-twooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOH

whomovedmychocolate · 21/07/2007 19:33

More 'ow' than owl now

loonylovegood · 21/07/2007 19:32

Harry didn't seem to care too much about your death, he bloody well blew you up! That's gratitude for you!

AttilaTheMum · 21/07/2007 19:32

Never mind - it was very quick, I'm sure you didn't suffer...

HedTwigRIP · 21/07/2007 19:31

am I one of the 6 then? or am I not counted as I'm an owl?

HedTwigRIP · 21/07/2007 19:31

'snot fa-ai-ai-air

HedTwigg · 21/07/2007 19:29

so, I'm dead am I?

RIP me

loonylovegood · 21/07/2007 19:29

I would have liked some more emotion! I wanted a good cry! I did speed read it though, so maybe I missed bits. Gonna start again from the beginning tonight and read it properly!

tribpot · 21/07/2007 19:26

Btw, I think the sort of relentless death-death-death thing was meant to convey what it must be like to live in a war, where it's just not possible to process the information until after the event. By the end I don't think Harry had even started grieving for Hedwig, never mind all the deaths that followed.

tribpot · 21/07/2007 19:25

No - I agree. I wanted a big funeral scene for poor Fred (in my speed reading I didn't even notice a reaction from George) and Remus and Tonks. A wedding scene or two would have been nice.

Had visions of Harry burying Voldemort on his own in a Luke-Skywalker-Darth-Vader stylee, but it was not to be.

Rather a lot of swearing in this one, compared with earlier ones I thought? Okay, they don't exactly swear like most 17 year olds but even so.

loonylovegood · 21/07/2007 19:20

I don't think there was enough emphasis on the deaths, they could have been much sadder!

eca · 21/07/2007 19:18

I didn't get who did magic later either! And what happened to the Dursleys?

Lupin and Tonks got me, they had a baby

loonylovegood · 21/07/2007 19:16

I was also v [shock} to see Harry was older than me!!

loonylovegood · 21/07/2007 19:16

I loved the happy ending! I'm a sucker for those!

It wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be, I nearly shead a tear over Tonks and Lupin, but I was expecting some full on sobbing!

I knew HP was a horcrux! I was convinced Hermione was gonna snuff it though!

AttilaTheMum · 21/07/2007 18:56

I see that Harry will be 27 in 10 days time - anyone know why JKR chose 31 July 1980 as his birth date?

Blandmum · 21/07/2007 18:47

i didn't either
