Rowling made me empathize with Tom Riddle, and...that still sticks with me.<br /><br />When I read that book, I realized the importance of having bad guys who aren't all bad. Bad guys you care about and kinda sorta don't want to fail are way more powerful than 2-D villains.<br /><br />And it was such a scary ending!!!Susanhttp://susandennard.com/blog-2/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496868506345590292.post-30368563517076756492010-11-15T11:09:34.956-05:002010-11-15T11:09:34.956-05:00I feel like such an outsider! :( I definitely have...I feel like such an outsider! :( I definitely have to start reading HP next summer (that's when I'll have time).

That was my biggest complaint about the final book, why introduce two other school if they weren't going to be in the final battle.Erinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936046127305211439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496868506345590292.post-76788830740714399572010-11-15T10:20:29.856-05:002010-11-15T10:20:29.856-05:00I am also an OOTP fan.

Then had to wait a year for OOTP. <br /><br />Plus, Sirius is like my fave character. Maybe I should just not like characters. Bad things happen to the ones I like. WAAAAA. <br /><br />The nearest cinema is 90 km away, so I don't know if I'll get to see it this weekend.

And though I loved the series Lost I kind of hated (in comparison) how it felt they just threw a bunch of "cool" stuff in and never connected it back in a meaningful way. <br /><br />I think I'm going to plan a re-read for the holidays!KatOwens: Insect Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228171304170449979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496868506345590292.post-59673189511768342672010-11-15T09:20:51.081-05:002010-11-15T09:20:51.081-05:00Abby, I know, I marvel at her genius daily.

I think I cried straight through the last 50 pages and was almost a little bereft when it ended (oh-so-perfectly, in my opinion). I think it really hit me how amazing the books are when I went back to reread the entire series in order, and realized Mundungus Fletcher is mentioned in the first chapter of SS!
