Deathly Hallows - Post 1 - Chapter 1-6

So I'm going to do a who knows how many part series on Deathly Hallows. Basically, these are my thoughts, as written, while reading the book. This is the first six chapters. It thins out near the end as I couldn't stop reading at all. so if you've gotten through chapter six, continue with no worries.

First thing first, don't read this if you haven't read the book.


Chapter 1
Malfoy’s are finally getting at least a piece of what’s coming to them.
Who the hell is the prisoner Wormtail is taking care of?
Meh to the death of the Muggle Studies teacher. Was a little worried it was Minerva.

Chapter 2
I like knowing more about Dumbledore’s life. Very interesting.
Hee hee hee, Dumbledore isn’t gone, and the mirror does have meaning!

Chapter 3
Wow, Dudley isn’t a douche anymore. Good to see. I like the change.
I also love that muggles love Shacklebolt.

Chapter 4
I hate you Rowling. I really do. First Sirius, then Dumbledore, now Hedwig? What the fuck is wrong with you? I’m so pissed off.
And Hagrid, it looks like, is dead. WTF! He can’t be dead too. Its way too early in the book for this many deaths.
Did kinda like the Poly-Juice Harry’s though, but can’t help but think it may have just been something she thought may have been cool to see in the movie. Why not just apparate? I’m confused… Can the ministry tell where you apparated to? Why not just take Harry in a car?

Chapter 5
Well, I thought it was Moody, I’m going to miss him. Knew someone had to be dying because of the chapter title. Just glad it isn’t Hagrid. Though I still don’t trust Mundungus…
Man, Snape using sectumsempra on George… wow… Another point in the Snape = Evil column.
Grrr, still pissed Hedwig is gone. No reason for that one.
Harry’s wand acting of its own accord, or of Dumbledore’s accord? What if the Phoenix that gave its feathers for the two wands weren’t from Fawkes after all. But from Dumbledore in his animagus form? Another point in the Dumbledore is dead but not gone column.
Also, shouldn’t Harry be looking for horcruxes and visiting Godric’s Hollow? Oh, Deathly Hallows? Nah.

Seems like a lot of questions are already being answered somewhat.
Stan Shunpike, a Death Eater (or at least Imperiused)
Ollivander the prisoner

Good stuff so far. One more chapter then bed.

Chapter 6
So Hermione and Ron have gotten protection in place for their families, good.
The ghoul is meh to me.
So far I like the Delacour parents.
“Merlin’s saggy left…” classic
Horcrux books, a little convenient.
Interesting stuff on Horcruxes though. Good to know and makes sense.
So glad they aren’t going back to school. I had worries not everything could fit into this book, but the lack of lessons and exams really helps things. It allows them to search for the Horcruxes without having to pause for other things, like Quidditch, heh.

Wow, already around 1/7 through. So much to digest so far, and so much left to read. Ha ha, 4am, sweet.

Looking forward to Dumbledore’s will tomorrow. I was actually thinking about it very briefly at Border’s tonight when someone suggested Harry getting a job with the Weasley twins and I mentioned his sizable fortune which grew with the death of Sirius. I thought Dumbledore may leave him something. Looks like I may be right. I’m guessing the Horcrux books are in there somewhere, maybe some gold. Hopefully the Pensieve with some useful memories.

Bed time. Chapter 7 and more tomorrow… I’ve decided not to set my alarm. To let myself sleep and then, when I’m good and rested, to continue. Thank God for Mac and Cheese to keep me from starving while reading.
