Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - the SPOILER thread!

[expatinscotland]

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

You've been warned.

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.

I'm dead

I've been in it since the beginning

and I DON'T COUNT?

that's feckin' specist that is

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

they

always shoot the messenger

I think it was colin. I forgot him

So upset at lovely fred dying!

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

Omitted from the final edit:
"And just where the fuck am I meant to put all the bodies" cries Filch

'and blood is hell to shift!'

Best line of the book "She's as nutty as squirrel poo", brilliant!

so, how did I die? its all a blur

I was a good House Elf!
I will be remembered!

You were avada kedavra-ed and then blown up!

At least I was given a proper burial!

Did anyone get the 'eyes' thing? Harry having Lily's eyes? Missed it

*Cried over Hedwig and Dobby, but the humans...not so much. Possibly because I was really anxious that Hermione would die and so relieved she didn't. Liked the book, better than the last two IMO. Loved Molly Weasley's Sigourney Weaver moment!!

Harry has the same green eyes as his mother, Lily? (But not in the films as Daniel R couldn't get on with the coloured contacts apparently)

JJ - lol at Molly's moment. I was really anxious Herminone was a gonner too, especially when they tortured her and then when Bellatrix threw that knife... I thought that was it!

But someone said that there was some significance to Harry having his mother's eyes?

Just finished it - phew.

I was right about Harry being a Horcrux. Was right about Snae being a goody.

But I thought Harry was going to die.

I do get the feeling that JK intended for him to die but bottled killing him off when the time came.

It would have made mroe sense if he had died I think.

Oh, don't know then, unless it's just that Snape gets to gaze into them briefly, just before he dies, Lily having been the love of his life... I think it said something like Harry's green eyes met Snape's black ones...Can't check, i finished book at lunchtime and now DH has it!

There was a green meets black moment, and later a green meets red moment. Albus is the only child who inherits the green eyes ...

Right. I caved halfway through today and despite yesterday's Amazon order asked DP to get it when he went out to get bogrolls, and started reading it at about 4pm and finished it about 40 minutes ago...

...and I rather liked it. But agree about the deaths, and I thought Harry should take on his godfatherly role in a more, you know, iconic manner.

Finished.

I found it the weakest of all the books.

I was disappointed. Felt like I was watching the final episode of an Aaron Spelling series or reading a Lord of the Rings tribute novel.

Best part of the whole experience was the queue for it. Some lively characters there!

My dp went to get it for me and he was amazed and horrified that some saddos dressed as witches to go to Asda and queue up!

I'm really pleased he went out to get it for me, but he got the wrong version, it doesn't match the others on my bookshelf!

I guess the significance of having her eyes was that if he'd looked entirely like James Snape could never have helped him, but as he had Lily's eyes, that was Snape's connection back to his love for Lily
