Just finished reading the book last night at 1am. I had to work daily too, so I didn't have the time to just sit down and read for hours on end. But...I loved it so much!

First off, and I can't help but mention this first, Neville is fucking BADASS! I was surprised! I love the change he went through! I always had a feeling that there was more to Snape. I was right when I guessed that Dumbledore had planned his death with him. I hadn't realized however, just how deep Snape really was behind the scenes of it all. To go through all of that for the child of the one person he ever loved, who never returned that love...heartbreaking. I loved Kreature in this book. Cracked me up. "Perhaps just one more, Master Harry, for luck?" I admit, I loled. And the sidestory that went with it was great. And with as much as the twins went through, like George losing his ear, I loved the fact that they never lost their sense of humor. I love the twins. Sigh. It was a shame Fred died. "Saintlike. You see...I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?" Ha! Also, I felt rather sorry for Draco in the book, and was rather glad that by the end there was a sort of...well...not quite friendship...but rather civilness between them all.
