OK gang, let's cheer ourselves up by remembering this:

Fang is OK!

Ahahah right on.

I think it did answer some questions, but..I don't know. Something wasn't so fulfilling.

I thought the same thing about Dumbledore in the beginning; I was like Harry! Ask him a question! But then there were glasses rapping on heads (brilliant, by the way) and raspberry jam and, well...I don't know.

Slinking back to wallow in the pleasant banks in Egypt...

Yes, on to the good bits, like favourite Dumbledore quotes, such as:

"No, I was merely reading Muggle magazines... I do love knitting patterns."

and:

"sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often... best to say nothing at all, my dear man."

Where will book 7 be without Dumbledore quotes?

Damn, really did mean to be cheerful.

The conversation between Fleur and Molly when Bill has been injured - that was wonderful.

Harry growing up and realising Malfoy was not to blame for Dumbledores death was fantastic - that in itself would have been enough to make me cry.

The paragraph where Luna helps Neville as the only two members of the DA who answered the call - I am nearly crying just thinking about it, I had to put the book down for a bit at that point. (Mind you, I am also more than a little bit angry that they were ignored so much )

When Ron and Hermione tell Harry they will go with him wherever he leads - awwwww.

The problem with the good bits they pretty much all took place in the opening and last chapters. When she is good she is very, very good...

Oh the bits with Dumbledore & the Dursleys were just brilliant!

How we'll miss him, sniff...

I know I can't classify this as a 'good' bit, but I think that Dumbledore's demise was actually one of the more poignant, well-written parts of the book.

Having expected/dreaded this outcome, his dignified, unafraid demeanour was the most that I could have hoped for:

"Jokes? No, no, these are manners."

In that encounter - in no way did the bad guys win.

Okay, maybe in a purely physical sense they did.

I'm not sure the bad guys won even in the physical sense. I think an Obi-Wan thing might happen

Aha - so is that what OW refers to?!

I think there is no question that Snape is a good guy...
I was withholding judgement throughout the last 5 books, but if JKR had ended book 6 with Snape doing something heroic for the Order of the Phoenix then I would have known he was evil...

but since book 6 ends with Snape killing Dumbledor and having to escape the OotP, I am positive he is a good guy and will be completely redeemed in Book 7...in fact I'm betting he'll be the next Head Master of Hogwarts (JMPO of course).

I think it is clear that Dumbledor was begging Snape to kill him and save Draco (who was definitely between a rock and a hard place).

At first I thought Dumbledor wasn't dead, but he and Snape had worked out a fake out...but when his portrait appeared in his office and the phoenix left...well, I'm afraid he is really gone. But his portrait will still hang, and talk, and walk to other portraits...LOL
We'll hardly know he is gone!

I love Tonks & Lupin (who I still think should be played by Clive Owen), and I'm pretty keen on Luna & Neville getting together too!

I never minded the canon ships that JKR has been hinting at for years and has finally brought together...anyone who is upset by Hermione and Ron getting together just has been reading too much fan fic. And of course Harry will end up w/Ginny, how else can we have all our friends end up in the same family? They'll have to build extra wings at the Borrows.

Holy crap. Clive Owen as Lupin would be excellent.
