Emperor Devon Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I finished the book a few hours after getting it, and was quite shocked by the ending. Who else has finished the book, and what do you think of it? I thought that it was better than all the other books, and definitely had the biggest plot twist. There were a few unnecessary things Rowling incluided, but overall, it was one of the best books I have ever read.
Emperor Devon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Yes. I can answer questions to prove it, if you like. But that's not the point of the thread! I'm wondering who else has finished it, and what they thought of it.
Jeff Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I just started reading it an hour ago. It is very good and addicting so far as I had hoped. It may keep me up all night!
RC-1162 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 okay, iv got a question(put the answer in spoilers) Does anyone die in the bk?(and by anyone i included nonessential ppl)
Emperor Devon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Nonessential people? Yeah, A few death eaters die. Nothing too influencial.
RC-1162 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 i dint mean only nonessential ppl. and in those few death eaters, is malfoy included?
THE VIGILANTE Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I just finished the book. I think it was the best book out of the whole series. When I found out that Dumbledore was killed, I was like WTF JKR??!! Anyways, the fact that Dumbledore was dead didn't hurt as much as the fact that he was killed by Snape. Can anyone tell me why he took on the Unbreakable Vow in the first place? And what was Dumbledore asking Snape before he was killed.? He was pleading for something, but was he pleading for life, or death? Still it was a very well written book.
THE VIGILANTE Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Does any one know what you have to do if your edit button isn't working? Mine refuses to work saying that the administrator won't allow me to view the page. Anyways - Does anyone know where all of Voldemort's horcruxes are located. And does anybody know whether Dumbledore had a Horcrux of his own (If he does, then he can come back to life)? Also, why did Voldemort give the task of killing Dumbledore to Draco?
Bastila Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Wow some of you have finsished it already i'm did start to read even tho i can't stand harry potter films and the last book i had trouble getting into but it's been ok so far

No one knows where his other horcruxes are. Dumbledore? A horcrux of his own? Please. Is his skin as pale as snow? Are his eyes red? Nope. Horcruxes are very dark magic - something Dumbledore would never use. Voldemort gave Draco the task of killing Dumbledore because he was close to him. If Snape had done the task all year, Voldemort would not have gotten valuable information from him.

I still don't know why Dumbledore trusted Snape so much.
Emperor Devon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 He thought he was on his side. He'd given Dumbledore valuable information in the past.
THE VIGILANTE Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Another interesting point that I just thought of. If Snape was on Voldemort's side then why did Voldemort say that Snape would be killed? Referencing to the fourth book when Voldemort is going through his list of Death Eaters: "one who is too cowardly to return. He will be killed. And one who has left me forever. He will be dealt with" PS - Should that be in the "HP Wierdings" thread? PPS - My edit button works again!! :D
Aash Li Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 One who is too cowardly to return - Snape One who left me forever - Dumbledore. lol That would be the worlds biggest plot-twist if it were true.
Emperor Devon Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Karkaroff was too cowardly to return. he was killed. Voldemort thought Snape had left him forever, but he was wrong.
RC-1162 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 OMG! how did snape kill dumbledore? with a curse or potion? and what happened to HP?
StoneDragon Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I've finished it. Though, I must say, Dumbledore was foolish to thrust Snape. I think book seventh would be rather exciting for they would have to explore unknown areas, not unknown areas of Hogwarts but, unknown areas that the Hoxothingy and Voldemort could be found.
Emperor Devon Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 Spoilers, please! There are people who've not finished the book!
Darth333 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Originally posted by Emperor Devon Spoilers, please! There are people who've not finished the book! Agreed! Enven if this is not a sw game thread, please use spoiler tags as the book is very popular and there is no point in ruining the story for those who have not finished the book yet.
RC-1162 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 i wouldnt exactly call that spoiling you know, there are many ppl who cant stand the suspense(like me).
Emperor Devon Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 There are some people who like the suspense, though. If I was reading this thread and hadn't finished the book, I certainly would not want it to be spoiled. But, even if you dislike suspense, a lot of people like it. Besides, if you want the book spoiled that badly, flip to the last chapter.
Aash Li Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Umm... no one is forcing anyone to highlight those spoiler tags... But I can see your point, its no fun to have someone ruin large parts of the book because they are too inconciderate to think of other people (not saying anyone is like that). I already knew about JKR getting rid of <censored> in the Half-blood Prince, so it dont bother me.
