Harry Potter Book 7 [SPOILERS-ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!]

Edit: bah.

 

[Victarion]

I'm glad Arthur got a reprieve...that probably would've hit me, too.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

Snape's death affected me the most. I loved that character and always had faith in him. He deserves a monument.

 

[DareDemon]

Yeah, I always knew Snape was good.... but I still felt happy inside when he died. After the memory part, that's when I really started to like him.

The part where Harry explained to his son about how Severus was the bravest man he ever knew gave me a big smile.

 

[Da Docta]

Which deaths affected you the most/got the most response out of you? For me it was Dobby and Fred. I liked Tonks and Lupin, but just having them lined up among the dead after the battle didn't really affect me for some reason?

Dobby and Snape's (after The Prince's Tale). The Hogwarts deaths did nothing for me.





In unrelated news, Deathly Hallows tops the bestsellers list.

How can anyone "love" Snape? Even if he was on the right side, he is still an *******. This is a man who systematically tortured an eleven year old orphan for his own sick pleasure because he had a grudge against his dead father...whose death, by the way, Snape was responsible for. Even if Snape stayed loyal to Dumbledore (out of something he claimed was love, but seemed closer to obsession to me), he is still a sick, poor excuse for a human being.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

He is great, I love him as a character. He is the best of the series. The rest, and specially Harry, are so predectibles...

yes, he ****ed it up in the past. But we all have darkness in our past, however, if we feel remorse and guilt (which proves we have humanity) we can fix our mistakes, and very few people would give their life to do that. Light and darkness. That's how people really is.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Dobby hit me the hardest due to the image of him standing there with a knife in him, and then reaching out for Harry like little kid before he died. That just hit me hard. The rest were sad, but none really got me that bad. Fred was sad, and for some reason I was pretty sad to hear about Collin Creevy.

 

[chaseter]

"He made seven Horcruxes?"

"I am glad to see you appreciate the maginitude of the problem," said Dumbledore calmly. "But firstly, no, Harry, not seven Horcruzes: six. The seventh part of his soul, however maimed, resides inside his regenerated body.

Gotcha thanks.

 

[The Dude]

Dobby's death was the saddest.
As he was my favorite character, Snape's death affected me.
Lupin and Tonks made me sad and angry. They didn't even get a death scene.

 

[JinnSato]

I just finished it.

 

[Speedball]

Dobby's death was the saddest.

That kind of pissed me off too.
At least Fred got one.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

I just finished it.

ok

 

[04nbod]

I just finished it.

What took you so long?

But Snape only felt remorse because he deprived himself of what he wanted. He would've stayed perfectly loyal to Voldie if Voldie had actually spared Lily. He had no real remorse or he wouldn't have tortured Lily's 11 year old son for no reason other than having James as his father. Snape was a cruel, twisted, obsessive, evil human being. He just happened to be on the right side because it benefited his wants.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

even rowling said if snape wasn't in love with lily he never would have helped harry in the slightest. she said she didn't think he was heroic.

 

[SapphirePrima]

I still think he was a great character, my oppinnion of him changed every book.

 

[Carcharodon]

No, but I think we can agree that he was a tragic character. I did feel pity for him at his end...

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

i did too

 

[Darkly Dexter]

He is not a hero, he is anti-hero, and that's why a love his character.
Why in the world must a character be a "good guy" to be likeable?

[Sandman138]

Harry should have died, that he didn't and the way that she executed it was total deus ex machina and cheapened the whole thing even more than the ludicrous amount of deaths over characters that didn't matter in the first place. I couldn't help but laugh at Hedwig's death scene. I was pissed about Tonks because she was underused ever since she showed up, only to die uneventfully for the sake of making Harry a godfather to yet another orphan even though we will never see how that impacted him in any way. The only time I was really gripped was when Hermione was being tortured by Bellatrix. Also, any impact the epilouge had in it's attempt to deal with Harry's realization of what it means to be a father was lost when I read the line "So that's little Scorpius, eh?"; I know Rowling loves the nomenclature equals character approach, but Scorpius sounds like something out of Mortal Kombat.

 

[Carcharodon]

Scorpius is a constellation...it actually fits in quite nicely with the entire magic and mysticism theme.

Okay, ture enough. I'm just not a fan of the heavy handed names for one dimensional villains.

 

[Da Docta]

Considering the blood connection was already hinted at in Goblet of Fire, I wouldn't say it was a Deus Ex Machina.
