theoden_of_rohan Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I absolutely LOVED the book! It is definitely my favourite out of all 7! SNAPE!!! I'm so happy we were right about him...awwww, all the references to him in the epilogue made me cry! He is undoubtedly my favourite character now. He always was up there, but now it's concrete! Yay, his patronus In fact, there were quite a few moments that brought me to tears....Dobby's burial, Harry using the resurrection stone ( Harry to his mother: "stay close to me" - OMG, I couldn't control myself any longer lol!), the thought of George being without his twin *sob* Everything was just perfect! I loved the arc in Ron's character...and when he re-appeared in the Forest of Dean I was actually cheering to myself! And yay for him and Hermione's kiss! That was excellent! I've always been for Rom/Hermione (much more so than Harry/Ginny) I was thrilled that JK used Dumbledore "beyond the grave" (so to speak) in this book. It wouldn't be the same without his pearls of wisdom...and I really loved he was finally unveilled as being human and flawed like the rest of us! LOVE that man! Albus Severus Potter! A name to cause SO many flushed heads, but immensely touching! I loved JK for that Neville was awesome in this book...as was Mrs Weasley taking on Bellatrix! GO MOLLY! Haha, every character really had 'their moment' which I really appreciated. McGonagall was great as ever! Oh, I could waffle on for AGES here. Seriously, I loved it so much. I don't know whether to cheer or cry (I can't believe it's all over...) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, what am I gonna' do NOW?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowsparkle Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) J.K. Rowling: Well, I don’t think that George would ever get over losing Fred, which makes me feel so sad. However, he names his first child and son Fred, and he goes on to have a very successful career, helped by good old Ron. Well, if it makes you sad, why did you write it?!? I'm seriously thinking of forming a "Fred's Not Dead!" Club lol I can't cope with this! So, for others who can't cope with it... "Six months after the final battle, Fred came out of his coma and the whole family apologised profusely for mistaking his unconscious state as death, until he was seen twitching a little next to the other bodies. Fred, however, thought the whole thing was a great joke and, years later, it was his favourite story to entertain his grandchildren with." See? Or maybe we could have a Weasley series a bit like Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) - Weasley and Weasley (Deceased). Hehehehe.... Desperate, me? Nah.....

pippinweasley Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 heehee! Great! I think that the 21st of July should be remembered as Fred day! Or April 1st, his and Georges birthday! And today is Harry and JKRs birthdays! This should be made a national holiday. Harry Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowsparkle Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 heehee! Great! I think that the 21st of July should be remembered as Fred day! Or April 1st, his and Georges birthday! That would be like admitting he's dead though, and I don't think I can do that... I like the idea of 31st July being Harry Potter Day, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoden_of_rohan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yes, I reckon they should have a National Harry Potter Day! He's one of our best and biggest exports after all...maybe we should start a petition! I'm sure JK would sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il cavaliere nero Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I made my "Fred's not Dead!" badge and I shall wear it with pride I love the Badge I Liked the book and read it twice and it still leaves JK an entry as there is a gap between the death of he who must not be named and harry getting ginny in the pudding club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber15 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I loved the book, I kept crying on all the deaths But I thought how J.K.Rowling ended the book, was brilliant, the best ending there could have been I think. Ooh I am loving that badge rainbowsparkle I will sign the petition now pippinweasley x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowsparkle Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Still keeping this in here to avoid spoilers for others but - has anyone else seen the Fred Weasley tribute movies on You Tube????? Some of them are amazing! Check out the "Brothers Forever" one - the mock gravestone at the end. Man, I was wailing, absolutely sobbing. Some of them were so moving...There are tributes to all the characters who dies, but the Fred ones are something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I really enjoyed the book, especially as I managed to stay largely spoiler-free despite having to wait until my sister had lent me her copy and my wife had finished reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad no-one spoilt it for you. My best friend said there's an 8-week queue at the library - she refuses to buy it, or borrow my copy for some reason - so I have to keep my trap shut about it! Unfortunately for her, I just couldn't keep quiet about Fred cos I was so upset about it so she knows about that one...oh, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyn Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Loved the book esp Gringotts and the forest scene but why my favourite characters, she'd already taken Sirius and then to take Remus and Dora oh the pain. Wow did i cry Love the badge i need one of those for Remus and Dora, you can't imagine George without Fred and the music videos on youtube are so sad (Love the ones for the Marauders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
