If so, what'd you think of it?

i never saw harry potter turning to the dark side with voldemort, and that hermione would kill ron

It was ok. I never liked the books much as it stood, and this one wasn't any more impressive than the other ones. That's not to say I didn't like it, it was just another Harry Potter book.

I found the ending to be kinda dumb though. The whole (spoiler) coming back from the dead thing (/spoiler) was really corny.

Seriously, it was pretty anticlimactic. All that talk for two lousy spells.

meh...it was supposed to show how Voldemort always underestimated any power that he didn't have...i didn't like it either though...and yeah, i finished around 2 and 1/2 hours after i got it...although, i am one of the several thousand people that are missing the 33 pages in the middle of the book...

That stinks. I had a textbook one time that had about 50 pages in random order, you you had to flip around to find the next page, but 33 that are just missing is brutal.

I would have liked to seen Harry not even having to cast his own spell.
What would have been ironic would be to have Voldemort kill himself through his own spell that reflects off Harry.

Killed by Expelliarmus somehow managing to push away Avada Kedavra, ouch :lol:

yeah...instead of putting in the next chapter, they repeated the same chapter over...and it was the part [spoiler] [size=0]where harry almost got killed by the snake, and Hermione broke his wand[/size] [/spoiler] so i was missing a big part of the book...

I like the part where Harry dies and comes back to life, or when voldemort kills snape, but I [spoiler]had sausages for lunch today[/spoiler] so that could be just me.

Meh. It was ok. I think the series kinda went downhill after Prisoner of Askaban. Maybe it's just me though.

strike wolf · Post by **strike wolf** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 11:32 am

It was alright but I didn't like the ending at all and when he finally came to fight Voldemort, they might as well have sat down for a cup of tea while they talked.

Order of the Phoenix was much better.

I thought the final battle was pretty anticlimactic as well, voldemort just dies, no explosion, or anything, he just falls over, that was pretty lame.

Titanic · Post by **Titanic** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:34 pm

I think it was a good book. Wrapped everything up nicely.

I liked Goblet of fire most.

This 1 was ok

yeah that was lame. What got me was that whole conversation they had before the fight though. Way too long, not needed and makes the anticlimatic end even worse.

He didn't die from Expelliarmus... he died because his killing curse rebounded off of Harry and back at him. It's explained in that anti-climactic speech, you know. The Elder Wand can't hurt its current master, which Harry was. Expelliarmus merely caused the wand to fly out of Voldemort's hand and back to Mr. Potter.
:roll:

And if you didn't notice, almost everyone dies by falling over, because unless you're already lying down, that's kinda how you go. :wink:

Yeah I noticed but that still sucked.

That doesn't change the fact that he couldn't have gone out in some mass explosion. Voldemort was the worst death in the whole book.

Arbustos · Post by **Arbustos** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 9:58 am

But mass explosions are so cliche. And was it really worse than Senor and Senora Werewolf's deaths? *That* sucked.
