  1. Okay...the above post was written in a review style, not giving too much of the plot....this post here contains SPOILERS Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Somehow I didn't feel that bad about Tonks and Lupin dying. This may be due to many reasons that may include that I already knew about it or that they were actually not that important in the storyline. This is not the case with Fred, though. His death was something that touched me really hard. I mean the Weasly family had to suffer so much through the whole series, it just seems a bit unfair on them. Ron and Hermione's frustration over Harry's lack of plan mirrored my own over Dumbledore's lack of explanation for Harry. But I don't blame Dumbledore for all that he has done. Many people make mistakes in their life and so what if he too made some in his teens. Similarly it was smart of him to let Harry discover things on his own rather than handing it out to him in a sliver platter. Agreed that telling him more would have created a lot less bloodshed, but then it may have also resulted in a failed plan. One thing I fail to understand is how did the Sword Of Gryffindor come to be inside the Sorting Hat. I though I read it correctly when it clearly mentions in the book that the Goblin took it away after their attempt at breaking into Gringotts. Nevertheless, a great tale. I would love to read more provided that J.K pulls a Arthur Conan Doyle. The BeaStKid
  2. Okay...just finished reading the book and I must say I enjoyed every bit of it. J.K Rowling has once again proved herself and her writing shines in this last instalment of the saga which has been with us for almost a decade. All through the series, she dropped subtle hints about the plot and this book saw them fit in the plot like a jigsaw puzzle. I was sad when she had Hedwig killed right in the beginning. Mad-Eye dying was a shock. I guess I also saw him like a formidable force no one could break---The greatest auror of his time. The chapters are nicely placed, the plot intriguing as always. Though threre are some places where things get confusing and incomprehensible there are also places where things are way too predictable. For instance, anyone reading the 5th book again after reading the 6th would instantly catch on the R.A.B was indeed Regulus and the locket they found while cleaning Number 12 was one of the horcrux. J.K has beautifully portrayed the emotional turmoil each of the characters go through and thats what makes her a wonderful story-teller. Her narrative is nearly flawless (though there were a few places where the dialogues were not clear) and one can literally feel themselves connected to the story. As such, I'm not surprised to see many quoting reading times of 8-10 hours. It is simply difficult to keep the book down after starting it. I could literally feel my heart beat faster and the tension building inside me during the scenes where Harry and the lot were captured and taken to Malfoy Manor; the scene before the final battle with McGonagall preparing for it; where Harry is walking towards his own death and lastly the final duel. Kudos to J.K for giving us such an awesome tale and introducing us to the Magical World oh Harry Potter. The BeaStKid

  11. Incest definitely....As mt thoughts have already been read and put in a very astute manner already, I won't go further. Personally, I have nothing against incest. It would be hypocritical of me to say that incest is bad because I believe that what these guys do in their bedrooms is their choice....after all Gay Rights Groups have also argued our point in the same way... Gay sex is as bad as incest in the eyes of society. But we have no problems gay sex because we indulge in it. Similarly, two brothers (or sisters or even brother and sister) who are in love and are in a physical relationship don't find anything wrong in their relationship. So, for people like us to say that incest is bad would be hypocritical in an itsy bitsy teeny weeny way!! Just my two cents The BeaStKid

    A sunny day

    This may sound callous, but it is a common sight here in India. When I was living in a hostel in New Delhi, India's capital, I had to travel by train frequently as I had to spend all my vacations in my home town about 250 kms (156 miles) away. Just before entering New Delhi's railway station, there are a lot of slums. The plight of the kids there was abysmal. With the barest minimum clothing covering their privates, (some weren't even that fortunate) these kids roam on the tracks. Similarly, here in Chandigarh too we have slums (infact, they are present in each city of India) and the sight there makes my heart cry out in pain. The BeaStKid
