OMGWTFEPIGRAPH? The Libation Bearers? Do any of the other books have these, or did JKR suddenly get really pretentious/become overwhelmed by the need to prove her knowledge of Greek tragedy?

Also (and related to Greek tragedy), so many deaths were either lame or just...not shown. Snape's not in the book for like 500 pages and then he promptly dies? There must have been a better way to structure that.

HAHAHA, I seriously thought Mrs. Weasley was possessed. Throughout the book. Her shouting, "THAT'S MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" at the end did nothing to dissuade me of this notion.

JKR totally stole my nose-is-broken-at-a-funeral idea. Which, ok, I did sort of steal from Roger Dodger.

OMG Ron has a driver's license!! Forget everything else, there needs to be fic about this.

The closest thing I have to a HP icon depicts James Spader. Nice.

Like I say, most of the important stuff in this book happened offscreen, either twenty or more years in the past or anyplace in the world except the Woods with the Tent of Convenient Comfort and No Refrigerator.

I still don't buy Ron/Hermione. What the hell are they going to talk about once the sex gets boring? Books? Quidditch? I'd like to see the Ron/Hermione dysfunctional marriage and drinking problem fic.

I dunno, I wouldn't write them off just because their interests aren't exactly the same. They've managed to tolerate each other for 7 years without any sex, and Ron probably finds a lot of the Muggle stuff Hermione knows about fascinating ~~and I just thought about them experimenting with sex toys...why?~~.
