And also, to anyone else who knows who died - don't you think Rowling was a little cruel? I mean, she's leaving Harry with very few people to depend on! By the seventh book, at this rate, Harry's going to be on Jerry Springer complaining about how everybody died on him! Oh, and Rowling has confirmed that there will be more deaths in the next two books.
To quote; "Yes, there will be more deaths, I think. Yes, many more deaths... MWAHAHAAHAHAA!"
Actually, I don't think she gave an evil laughter at the end, but still, you get my meaning.
I didnt like the death; it saddened me greatly and felt like the character just... slipped away. No goodbye or anything, considering what a major character it was. Didn't anyone else think that the Order was a bit too...'passive' about the character's passing? I for one felt that the only person who really missed the character was Harry.
I think there is going to be more discussion involving the actual death (which was, uh, quite mysterious -- excuse the pun) and we'll probably get to read more opinions or whatever regarding it. If that makes any sense. I felt like it happened very quickly, too, but I don't feel like it's over. Of course, they can't come back from the dead, but Harry is obviously going to find out what exactly is behind the curtain.
Also, I was greatly disappointed with Dumbledore's 'revelation' - as you know, he always reveals something at the end of the book, or some great twist happens. Well, he does reveal something, but hardly something oh so outstanding. Anyhow, I'm just moaning because it wasn't as good as the last one, which is odd, considering how all the books have been better than their predecessors.
Ant.
That brings up a complaint of mine.. I felt like I was hardly EVER surprised, throughout the entire book. Aside from occasional Umbridge doings and the person who ended up dying, there wasn't really anything that surprised me. I managed to figure out most of it before it happened. I was a little disappointed in Dumbledore's speech, too.
Hope the next comes out soon, and we don't have to wait another couple years.
