The blurb on the back says:
"Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing - if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him?"
Lord AK, you should probably read no further if you really want to enjoy all the books to the fullest!
I also sped read and am in the process of rereading it.
I loved the beginning with the seven potters.. it was so scary and brilliant!
Always knew there was a reason why DD trusted Snape so implicitly. He was a very interesting character, Snape. The 'Look at me' just before he died was beautiful.
Dumbledore - who would have thought! Six books he was the serene, righteous, all-knowing (haha he sounds like God!) powerful good guy and then we get to know he is not so perfect after all. Or wasn't. It's kind of comforting in way to know he was only human.
And of course Harry walking through the forest was probably my favourite chapter in all of the seven books. JKR really had me there.. I really thought he was done for.
And of course, the final showdown - a little bit of an anticlimax, but wasn't really expecting a fullblown duel.
I'm still a little bit confused as to why Harry didn't die in the forest. So it was because he had a part of Voldemort, who in turn, had a part of Harry and therefore Lily's sacrifice? Then that little baby thing got blasted out of Harry, which meant Harry was now free of Voldie's soul. Ok I think I should read that part again..
but how do you guys understand it? There's a lot more to discuss, but I think I should stop too before I make it even more obvious what a nerd I am.
All in all, couldn't ask for a better way to end off the series (ok bar the epilogue, didn't like it either), JK Rowling is a genius.
