Snape's end was rather unexpected, I thot the dark lord wud come to know all truth abt sanpe and then kill him. But he died of something he cud never have done

another nice ending about snape
yes, the cloak was there. but it seems that, the idea of hallows suddenly struck her while writing the book 7 and she has forced it on the readers.
it sidetracked the main storyline i.e finding the horcruxes.

@rajdeepsingh86,
Hell no Man, each book had its own theme, which was not revealed before. Hallows were all thought up before, you already had the mention of Dumbledor vs G... the other dark one before. You had Dumby having James clock.
Half Blood prince was never mentioned before 6th book. Do you mean that she should have revealed the plot of 7th book before?

I loved the book simply because I have been a Harry Potter fan, so I wanted to end the whole series. But, there are far too many mistakes in this book.
I think JK just couldn't come through, so she wrote some stupid things, which just helped to fill in the gap. There are so many things I would like to complain about.
- First of all, the most pathetic thing was Ron speaking Parseltounge. I mean come on! That way, he can even speak to other animals by taking out their voice. I always thought Parseltongue was a very rare art. But this make it feel as if anyone could do it.
- Dumbledore, the greatest wizard in the world, was completely weekened after finding the first 2 horcruxes. But our heroes didn't have to face too many problems did they. Sure, Gringotts had some protection, but apart from that the, it was too easy. Doesn't make sense as to why Voldy would protect 2 horcruxes so carefully, while the others were just lying around
- Hermione got a book about Horcruxes by using Accio. How convenient!
- What was the point of Deathly Hallows. They played no role whatsover. And why did Dumbledore have to introduce the Hallows to Harry? To add another burden on him with finding Horcruxes? He himself said he wanted to Harry to find Horcruxes.
- Didn't Jo say portraits were just a mere shadow of the actual being, and weren't as sane. Well, Dumbledore's portrait was giving orders to Snape. Yeh right!
- When Harry got AKed the first time, he does not die, but the Horcrux gets destroyed. Why! Didn't Hermione say the container had to be destroyed for the Horcrux to be destroyed? This was part was unexplained as to why the Horcrux was destroyed, and Harry lived. And why didn't the curse rebound this time, but it rebounded the next time in the final duel!
- Since when have wands changed allegiance when the person has been disarmed. We've seen so many people being disarmed, then does the allegiance change then as well? Also, Draco didn't even have the Elder Wand? How could Harry become the master then?
- So, Dumbledore knew that Harry couldn't die by the hands of Voldemort, because of the blood connection. Then why all the fuss? This just makes Harry invincible to Voldy throughout the whole series? What was the point of all the deaths to save Harry? They were needless. And if Dumbledore knew, then why did he tell Snape Harry had to die.
- What the hell was going on at that King Cross' Chapter. It felt like Jo couldn't explain everything, so she just needed Dumbledore to come back to explain everything? Ridiculous. If so, then why didn't Harry start talking to Dumbledore's portrait right after his death. It would have told him everything
- Hermione modified her parent's memory! And was heartless enough to say that even if they survived, there was no need to fix it, as they didn't remember they had a daughter!
- And look at the irony. Later on in the book, she says she's never modified a memory before!
- The Deluminator was ridiculous. Dumbledore knew Ron would go away. Sure why not, he's the great Dumbledore isnt he?
It just seems Jo went out of the way of logical thinking, and break the rules of the world she created herself to finish the book, as she just couldn't complete it without a few shortcuts.
Btw, the Epilogue was meant to be vague, so the JK can release another HP encyclopedia.

Most funny goof-up in my opinion... If it was that easy then why the hell in previous books they were sneaking in Hogwarts libraries..they could have used Accio... KKR..what was you thinking when writing that.hitman050 said:
hitman050 said:Btw, the Epilogue was meant to be vague, so the JK can release another HP encyclopedia. More money for her
She said the HP Encyclopedia will be for charity purpose, so dont't think she will gain any money from it.

I wish the Deathly Hallows was never released this way.
I mean look at that never ending Camping trip.
It was so so sooooooooo long.
Then there was no harmony in the plot.
And that Voldermort dying !What ? I was waiting for like 6 books amounting to almost half a decade and The dumb Dark Lord had to die in one page.! WheW ..i almost had to read it again if i read right.Flick of an eye and he dies..
This was the worst book of all the things and i had to buy it for 997 Rs ..Huh!
But then there are also some good things..
1)The battle at Hogwarts was just too good.
2)The killing of people was good. Sad and good.
3)Dumbledores history was awakening..naughty him!
30 percentage good book. 70 Percent Totally bad .Jo completly missed there!

Enough of the bashing. Let's post the awesome quotes this book had. It had some of the best one liners in the whole series, even though it was the darkest one.
"It's me. I'm extremely famous."
-Ron
"Here lies Dobby - a free elf."
-Harry
"You see... I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?"
-George
"With all the ear-related humor, you settle for holey?"
-Fred
"I can't go to school and give love to a professor!"
-James Harry Potter
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should it mean that it is not real?"
-Dumbledore
"I don't think you're a waste of space"
-Dudley
"Should I do it now? Or would you like a moment to compose an epitaph?"
-Snape
"What in the name of Merlin's saggy left..."
-Ron
"You-know-who can move faster than Severus Snape confronted by shampoo."
-Fred
"We need him conscious, Kreacher but if he needs persuading you can do the honors."
-Harry
"I forgot we'll be hunting down Voldermort in a mobile library."
-Ron
"You shouldn't have done that."
-Harry
"Death's got an invisibility cloak?" Harry interrupted again.
"So he can sneak up on people," said Ron. "Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking..."
"Voldy's gone mouldy"
-Peeves
"She was right, you do have to mean it."
-Harry
"I'll join you when hell freezes over."
-Neville
"I know things you don't know, Tom Riddle. I know lots of important things that you don't. Want to hear some, before you make another big mistake?"
-Harry
"Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle, Harry."
-Hermione
"Wow, we're identical!"
-Fred and George
"Well, that's that plan scuppered," said George. "Obviously there's no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless you cooperate."
"Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke who's not allowed to use magic; we've got no chance," said Fred.
"Funny," said Harry, "really amusing."
"That's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!"
-Ron
"I ask this one, great favour of you, Severus, because death is coming for me as surely as the Chudley Cannons will finish bottom of this year's league."
-Dumbledore
"Albus Severus, you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was in Slytherin, and he was the bravest man that I ever knew.”
-Harry
"Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, scrawny gits forever."
-Fred
"I knew Ginny was lying about the tattoo."
-Ron
I just love reading these quotes so please do contribute.

I disagree with hitman on some points.
This was to show, that if you try, you can even do the impossible, its a children's book, for heaven's sake
That is because, Harry was protected from the Dark Lord's spell, Dumbledore had no protection, nor was he the chosen one, he destroyed the Horcrucxes sheerly becasue of his brilliance, both magical and non magical.
The cave with locket needed protection because it was not as protected as Hogwarts, nor as Nagini, the horcrux in the hut had so much protection that it killed Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took all those horcruxes himself, which would have busted Harry's life
Remember book one, Hermione used common sense and logic to defeat Snape's potion barrier. She again used common sense and logic. Most of the people would not have thought that Dumbledore would have wanted anyone to see Horcrux books.
He already had 1 hallow, the cloak right from book 1.
Portraits could have been instructed in advance, if they can visit othe portrats when being asked to surely some advance instruction is possible.
Since he had 2 souls in his body, rather 1 and a 1/7 soul, it seems ( I am not sure), that the dark lord busted his own soul while Harry was protected by love.
Since the first book, dint Ollivander say that the wand chooses the wizard. As for being disarmed, it generally occurs when someone very less powerful than you disarms you, like draco disarming Dumbledore.
Goof, Agreed
That's because he knew that Ron might get provoked if someone else provokes, but this provocation is short term, he will do something properly only when he himself felt that he had to do it. Hence Dumbledore knew it that Ron was first gonna go with harry coz he thot that his friendship demanded him to, but them later he realized that if he left harry alone,he would be doing a grave mistake, he wud be acting as a deserter and wud want to come back.
Agree to a certain extent
Hope that comes soon,

He felt like asking them to show a little more respect for his privacy as they all began stripping with impugnity, clearly much more as ease with displaying his body than they would have been with their own.
"Braggarts and rogues, dogs and scoundrels, drive them out, Harry Potter, see them off!"
-Cadogan
He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found homes here.
"That makes me sound a lot cooler than I was," mumbled Ron.
"Stuff like that always sounds cooler than it really was," said Harry. "I've been trying to tell you that for years."
"Brilliant. I'll go get one of our other ancient goblin-made swords and you can gift wrap it."
-Ron
"Oh, it can't be a reference to the fact Harry's a great seeker, that's way too obvious. There must be a secret message from Dumbledore hidden in the icing."
-Hermione
"Did he now? Nice job, I hope? Pleasant? Easy? The sort of thing you'd expect an unqualified wizard to be able to do without overstretching themselves?"
-Aberforth
"Accio Hagrid!"
-Harry
"My word, Severus, that I shall never reveal the best of you?"
-Dumbledore
"You there! Give me your chair, I'm a hundred and seven!"
-Muriel
"Just in case you've forgotten, I've already got a house, my godfather left me one. So why would I want this one? All the happy memories?"
-Harry
"Another Weasley? You breed like gnomes."
-Muriel
"But before he went loopy he was the life and soul of the party," said Fred. "He used to down an entire bottle of firewhisky, then run onto the dance floor, hoist up his robes, and start pulling bunches of flowers out of his-"
"Yes, he sounds a real charmer," said Hermione, while Harry roared with laughter.
"Never married, for some reason," said Ron.
"You amaze me," said Hermione.
"Blimey Neville, there's a time and a place for getting a smart mouth."
-Ron
