Here is my main complaint with this section of the book, which I otherwise love very much: How’s Harry going to use the Cruciatus curse on the Carrow sibling who spits in McGonagall’s face? (I find the Carrows boring and have not bothered to learn their names.) He was unable to do this curse on Bellatrix Lestrange two seconds after she killed Sirius Black, but somehow he can manage to do it just because some Death Eater insults one of his teachers?

Oh, the seventh and final Harry Potter book. This post will probably contain spoilers for a number of previous books, and likely spoilers for this one as well. Sorry. Can’t help it.

Except the ten thousand…
