Connections with fairy tale creatures

Now that Metria has finally read HP6, I can discuss the book, so if you do not want to know what happens do NOT read on......




Well the big thing to come from this book was the death of Dumbledore. I was shocked about it and most fans were. Some people may think its crazy to feel so sad about a fictional character, but sometimes in life and in books, we adopt certain characters because they represent something that is important.

In Dumbledore's case, he represented the wise, fatherly and protective figure in life. His death was sad as he was the one poweful and good constant in the book. Now the onus is on Harry to deal with the adventures in the next and final book.

This plot twists ensures that the next one will require Harry to make his own decisions and see them through. Kind of life, when we are made to go out on our own and make decisions whether we are ready or not. I do admit in most peoples cases, its not about saving the world from great evil.

I wonder what readers would think of this plot twist. People will feel sad but most can not wait for the next one and we can expect that in maybe 2 years time.

The other issue is whether Ron and Hermoine are going to get it on? They have feelings but maybe in the end they will get it on, you never know!

Still, I am looking forward to the next book, Metria wonders if Snape is a double agent and was told by Dumbledore to kill him if he was ever in this situation? I do not think so, as that would be way too much. No one would ever forgive him. But the battle between Snape and Harry is another plot line to develop.

A lot of questions and a few answers for number 7.

In the end, well done to JK, she came up with a concept and now the boy wizard rules the world!

Well I can't stand Snape but I think Rowling has a good purpose for him. He's saved Harry on several occasions after all. I think the funniest part of HP#6 is the part where Ron eats the charmed chocs and thinks he's in love with Romilda Vane. Hilarious!
