the end of the sixth

*warning* HP&HPB spoilers ahead!!


dumbledore's dead.

harry's alone. snape's back to the dark side (or so the book makes you think).

honestly though, the book didn't get interesting till it was slightly more than halfway through. i totally skipped the quidditch matches (boring) and tried to skip the bits where harry was being a brat. i still don't get why the book is about snape and what role his potions book plays, other than being a tool harry uses throughout the book. there doesnt't seem to be a major role for the potions book other than provide for some interesting happenings here and there. and so what if the book did belong to snape? it doesn't resolve issues for me.

and dumbledore can't be wrong about snape. he must have had some reason to explicitly believe and trust snape. i don't buy the whole back to the dark lord spiel.

ron basically doesn't do much but get tangled in tongue tangos. hermione also doesn't seem to figure as much.

overall a better read still than OTP. so it's back to Gaiman's American Gods.
