I had a reply ALL TYPED UP yesterday and then LJ died just as I was about to post. Grrrr.
Someone argued that they liked the way the deaths were done, the reason being that in war not everyone dies in a meaningful and dramatic way. To a certain extent, I agree, but...Jesus, Tonks and Lupin's death had little to no impact. I don't think limiting their death scene to a single sentence (possibly more; I've lent out my copy of the book) was an act of great artistry.
I don't get Mrs. Weasley. Clearly. SHE SEEMED POSSESSED TO ME. And continues to frighten me. (Also, I think JKR has problems writing anger convincingly. Hence all the capslock.)
As someone who has been on family camping trips, OMG. That could have been so much shorter. There are few things that are more boring. And I love how they made absolutely no progress the entire time. And yes! *points up* I want someone to write fic about the year at Hogwarts. Although I could do without Ginny.
He never even got to meet Jimmy or Caleb, did he? (He probably would've just made fun of Jimmy, the snob.) Ahahahahaha, Alan and Ray would've been a disaster--Alan would've been in denial for a good several months, then he would've been all, "Look, we can't tell anyone about this because you're a Hufflepuff *much nose-wrinkling* and--"
And at this point Ray would probably have punched him. Anyway, for a while Ray was making out with Fraser on the quidditch pitch.
It was kind of a fun mix for a bit, but yeah, it totally imploded. >:O I like how all the Hufflepuffs were the first to leave. So abused.
