Last week I was feeling annoyed that I'd picked this book for next month (because I wasn't looking forward to reading it), but now I'm thinking that after the last two discussions were so brief, this one will probably run away with us !Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-69854590801001288862007-07-22T17:25:00.000+01:002007-07-22T17:25:00.000+01:00Our home has been silent for the last 24 hours wit...Our home has been silent for the last 24 hours with the only sound, an occasional page turn. In fact the street outside has been practically empty of traffic. <BR/><BR/>Kelly put it well, JKR painstakingly closed all the doors. I loved it. I found myself crying from the moment a certain Weasley showed up until the end. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the discussion, Michele.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-7727095796588279532007-07-22T16:35:00.000+01:002007-07-22T16:35:00.000+01:00I too will save discussion about the book for your...I too will save discussion about the book for your group discussion, but seeing that it has already been mentioned, I will state that I was also annoyed at the Harry Horocrux thing simply because I thought it had to be deliberate to be a horocrux. Voldemort WANTED 7, not oh 6 and a 7th one that I don't know about.<BR/><BR/>Still I loved the book and it is a minor quibble on my part. It made sense and didn't seem forced. I appreciated how things were tied up and that while things were tied up, it wasn't all nice and neat with a bow. <BR/><BR/>When I read, I read on several levels just as you do. Sometimes that is hard because it can be distracting - I'm thinking more about the structure, the references, the language, or something other than the story. <BR/><BR/>I'm just in awe of Rowling - she managed so much in these 7 books. She opened a loop when she wrote the first book, and closed it with brilliant precision. <BR/><BR/>It took me about 7 hours as well to read the book. I was given the 'gift' of a day just to read. :D It has been HP intense here as I re-read HBP and OoTP just to get myself back in touch with little things I'd forgotten. And I took the kids to see the OotP movie last week.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to more discussions about this book in August.Maihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063841471328911196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-74775032444815753912007-07-22T06:40:00.000+01:002007-07-22T06:40:00.000+01:00Hmm...

I was annoyed that Harry was a Horcrux after all - but at least Voldemort didn't *deliberately* make him one - which was a relief because I'd been arguing he couldn't have done it, but otherwise yes pretty good...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-9605540934037538872007-07-22T03:15:00.000+01:002007-07-22T03:15:00.000+01:00I was pleased to see some of my pet theories vindi...I was pleased to see some of my pet theories vindicated.
