Deathly Hallows

[sharelle]

Not going to go into too much detail here right now because I'm exhausted and emotional and probably so much more, but I needed to get my initial reaction off my chest because I probably won't get to sleep tonight otherwise:


Oh, God. That was utterly awesome.

I was a crying, sopping mess for just about the entire book.

Pure, utter awesome.

TBH, I was left pretty cold by the whole camping-in-the-countryside malarkey that seemed to go on for about three hundred pages. But, I was a total sopping mess at four points;

1) Hedwig - unexpected and shocking, and totally appropriate given the bloodbath that is the rest of the novel.

2) Remus and Tonks. So matter of fact it hurt.

3) Dobby - the scene by the grave did it for me.

4) (obviously) Snape. Poor Sev. But I'm SO glad the Lily-loving is now canon - I was praying all the way through for it! In actual fact, if I'm being honest, I waited 450 pages for the Snape love to return, which is probably why I hummed and hahed over the camping stuff. Still love him to death and I'm now wondering whether or not there's a Snape/Lily video in the making :)

All in all, a very emotional experience, and now I feel like I'm sort of in mourning for the series - it's over, and I can't quite get my head round it!

Oh my gosh, I completely agree! *hugs*

I didn't mind the "camping-in-the-countryside" bits too much, for reasons I mentioned in my other post. Though I certainly agree with you that there were parts there that went on a little long. (To me, it was less so here in Book 7 than certain sequences in some of the other books had been.)

Bloodbath is right! And she said it wouldn't be!
