Harry, Harry Potter?

[botias]

I just finished the book, much reading done after midnight in the bath, so... I definitely got a hee from this post by st_salieri If Joss had written the series... As for me:

1. I can't wait to see the movie. I was definitely getting visuals
2. I was surprised the body count wasn't higher or at least played for harder impact. Hedwig died and I was liek whoa, this is going to be hardcore, but it seemed like it didn't really hit that hard after that. I went in totally expecting Ron to die at the very least, and was actually expecting Harry to die for reals, I was prepared for Hagrid to go and I was definitely surprised that all the Malfoys were still upright.
3. I wanted more Draco. Yes, he's white blond and ebol Shut Up
4. I thought the epilogue was lame and I like lame, but laying down who lived happily ever after with whom probably kept a few tons of carbon out of the atmosphere in the form of pleading letters penned on wood pulp and delivered overseas
5. I loved the Snape/Lily storyline... same patronus *sniffle* deer so pritty
6. I loved with she did with Dumbledore's character.
7. I love that Harry's the bestest hero Evar, I love the way Dumbledore sees him, but Harry doesn't do all the heroing. I thought it was great that the plot tokens and heroics were shared. Neville gets the nifty sword, instead of Harry cleaning up.
