In reply to Care. Hope you're enjoying it! Is 576 where it's already gotten really dark and sad, or right on the brink of getting really dark and sad?

Hello, it’s Oct 2013 and I’m on page 576 of Book Six. Just had to share… Will read this post in a bit. (but have already skimmed, laughed at this: “In the ongoing Harry-Dumbledore buddy comedy that is Book Six” and then wrote this comment.)

Your first paragraph is such a gorgeous example of why I love you so. You makes me laugh, just so much. The rest is pretty fab too, but oh I love that first paragraph.

In reply to Rayna (Libereading).

You’re cackling NOW but you won’t be cackling when Voldemort drags YOU off. :p

I dunno, I definitely see your point, and I agree that JKR doesn’t do such a great job with the ladies in her book (apart from Hermione). BUT, I think if I had to live with Fleur, I’d be mean about (note: about! not to! Ginny and Hermione aren’t mean to Fleur when she’s around) her too. She doesn’t say inadvertently rude things; she says rude things like “Your favorite song is stupid; your cooking is bad; your education system is flawed”. Those things are rude! That’s not how you be a guest!

In reply to Jennifer. Doesn't it? But actually, I never had any problem with Harry. It's just that when he grows up in this manner, he quickly becomes my favorite character in the series. Bless him.

In reply to @MegsGranger. Hahahahaha, I laughed for like ten minutes when I read this.

In reply to Charlie. I know! We know that someone with a connection to the wizarding world was aware of how miserable he was, and I just can't believe that nobody did anything. Ever. Stupid wizards.

I haven’t read this one yet, but this was a good (and funny) read. Yes to the Dursleys, though, I suppose it works in a childrens’ book that they still treat him badly, but you would think something would have been done.

In reply to Jenny. I worried about that, too; my daughter talked me into watching selections from the first season during the day, to lessen the chance of nightmares. And after that first season? Not so scary.

In reply to Alley. Eh. The only person I enjoy Snape being a dick to is Umbridge. And even that wasn't so great. I didn't know who to root for. I prefer Snape being SAD. REALLY SAD. Which he deserves because he DID EVIL and NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED.
