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.

Well, Spader is wearing what looks like a school tie in the icon and he is magical in his own way. Close enough.

As I suddenly have 138 icons, I almost uploaded an Accio icon or two. So I'm happy to see your Baby!Alan.

I need more icons. Can you help me with good stuff?

Ugh.

Nice icon.

Ravenclaw!Alan. Aww, this makes me miss Ravenclaw!Tara, you know.

Oh, Accio!Alan. Nostalgia is so shiny. I think I still have Hufflepuff!Jimmy somewhere on my hard drive.

Ahhhh, I hadn't gotten to the epigrah yet, so. HAHAHAHA. JKR was totally showing off her mad tragedy skillz. Plus, all those off-screen deaths, bah. They weren't even "senseless deaths of war" deaths, they were just poorly executed (badum, psh).

I love Mrs. Weasley and her special mom brand of crazy. A+, Mrs. Weasley.

I was so bored by them wandering in the forest. She could have at least pulled a Boxcar Kids or a My Side of the Mountain and made it interesting, but nooooo. They wandered around like headless, whiny chickens from August until March. LOL WHAT.

There needs to be some account of what happened at Hogwarts, because by the end of the wandering, I didn't care at ALL what happened to the trio. Fuck 'em. Let's talk about Neville's genius DA and how freaking awesome the Ravenclaws are. Man, I would so be a proud Ravenclaw.

Which brings me back to Accio!Alan. Good times, man. I was sad to see he and Accio!Ray did not get it on as they should have at the time. That 'verse really needed to be played around in more before it died. Fucking assholes who ruined it. *fistshake*

I totally agree with you about the deaths. The most significant "on-screen" death was Hedwig. Hedwig! I got so sick of hearing, "oh, while you were doing something else all this crazy stuff happened and BTW some people are dead."

And, speaking as a huge Rickman fan, I can't believe how badly she handled Snape. I thought this would be the book that would let Rickman really shine in the film version, and, once again, he's relegated to below supporting status.
