Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

lol "advanced lunacy"

HIKO IS BACK.
XD
I read the book three weeks ago...>_>

Quote (Krakatoa)

I've finally found somewhere to say this.

The scanned back has allegedly over 700 pages, right? The 7th book has only 620 (give or take)! Where did they get 80 brand-spankin'-new pages from?

I enjoyed the book but at page 220-250 I nearly ditched the thing. The first 300 pages were so boring! There were bits of this and bits of that, and the Death Eater bit at the beginning pwned, but when they were camping I nearly gave up on it.

ALSO:

Things that weren't explained in the last chapter... found on Wiki:

* Harry becomes an Auror for the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. Harry owns Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him. Because Voldemort's soul fragment inside him was destroyed, Harry can no longer speak Parseltongue.
* Ron works for a time with George at his store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and eventually becomes an Auror.
* Hermione initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws. She also finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she put on them.
* Luna Lovegood searches the world for odd and unique creatures. She eventually marries Rolf, the grandson of the famed naturalist, Newt Scamander.[7]
* Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, then leaves her athletic career behind for marriage and family with Harry. She eventually becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.
* George Weasley runs his successful joke shop, helped by Ron. He names his first child Fred, after his late twin brother.
* Slytherin House has become more diluted and is no longer the pureblood bastion it once was. Nevertheless, its dark reputation lingers.
* Voldemort's jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA) position is broken with his death, and there is a permanent DADA teacher.
* Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who acknowledge that his pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable.
* Kingsley Shacklebolt becomes the Minister for Magic, with Percy Weasley working under him as a high official.
* As part of the changes introduced by Kingsley Shacklebolt, Azkaban no longer uses Dementors. As a result, the world is now a "much sunnier place".
* Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.
* The Quibbler has returned to its usual condition of "advanced lunacy", and is appreciated for its unintentional humour.

I already figured out some of that stuff (such as Kingsly as Minister, Harry's an Auror, ect.) However, a lot of that I could never have known. Are you sure this official and not fan stuff, because if it is, the world is indeed a much better place.

W/e.

-The only person of consequence to die is Voldemort. (and dobby)

NO. NO. HOW COULD YOU FORGET TONKS?

Wotcher...

It made me so sad that she died... And Sirius. HOW COULD SIRIUS DIE? I know it was in Book 5, but still... BEST CHARACTER EVAR.

Yeah. I had to do that.

I need the book though. A poor man is me.

Though.. Why does Dobby die, anyway? Its the one thing I need to know, and I don't trust other sources.

You misspelled "believe". And Sirius did kick ass. And Dumbledore did not die, he basically became an hero by dying of his own "will".

You misspelled Phoenix as well.

AND BELIEVE OR NOT!
BUT DUMBLEDORE DID DIE.
But he stills lives within the backs and hearts of every HP fan there is. 8D

He took a thrown dagger for Harry, sving his life.

Meh. Don't care much about Dobby, but I wanted Harry to die. The ending sucked because Harry did not die.

Um, he did die. He just came back via a convenient plot device.

He himself didn't die, as she said, it was the piece of Voldemort inside of him that took the Avada Kedavra.

Actually, the official explination is this:

BOTH souls got hit. However, Harry was given the option of chooseing to move on or not because of the fact that he sacrificed himself willingly and the protection aforded by the double link with Voldermort via the horocrux and his mother's protection. Harry did die, but he was simply given the option to move on or stay. Dumbledor was only alowed to wait long enough to talk to Harry before moving on.
