Deathly Hallows

[scarfman]

qtrhorserider always gets got them first so I've only just finished it. She told me that either it reads like fanfiction or the Doctor Who writers on our flists are better plotters than we realize.

page 1: Isn't this the first scene ever we've had narration from other than Harry's point of view?

I commented in the theater a week and a half ago that Rupert has gotten taller than Daniel. Then in several passages in Deathly Hallows I noticed that Ron is described as taller than Harry. Causality?

page 285: Today he might have been thirteen years old again, the only one who collapsed on the Hogwarts Express. The midshipman who was sick at Spithead?

page 367: I ought've known where he'd find the sword.

Lupin's was the only death that seemed to surprise me. At first. But then, he had to be with the other three in the forest.

To anyone who didn't like the ending I would say, "There's no other way it could end."

I've been avoiding spoilers for this (unlike Doctor Who, since it's not nearly as impractical or burdensome to avoid cuts on your flist for five days as it is to avoid your whole fandom online for five months) so, if you've made any relevant remarks that you think are particularly clever and worth repeating, here's the place.
