Aaaahhhh, finally with my job going on, and reading a chapter a day. My sister was done with it in 3 days of continuous reading, and I could only eye her enviously of all the time she has on her hands :S .But
finally I'm done. And according to my opinion, this was tons better than the goblet and this has been the best HP book out of the 5 IMO.
Now about the book:
The thing that I loved the best was seeing Harry's hatred. Now this might sound wierd, and trust me I'm not wierd
, but when Harry used the cruciatous curse for the first time on belatrix, I was literally jumping. I had always pictured that at some point in the future, Harry would jump out of nowhere and being led by his anger and pain, would suddenly do a dramatic unforgivable curse. Well it wasn't anything of that sort in book 5, but I would love to see Harry doing the
avada kedavra on Belatrix in book 6 or 7 to avenge Sirius' death.
Now the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort (don't flinch if you hear the name
), was short but exceptionally interesting at the same time. The way Dumbledore moved and did his stunts, when we see his true fighting for the first time, reminded me when we see yoda fighting for the first time when 'attack of the clones' was released. Also reading Dumbledore admitting that Voldemort is much more powerful in his full strength and is the greatest wizard alive, sorta gives us a sneak peak about what 'might' happen in the future books.
And I was also pretty err, 'satisfied' when Umbridge was dragged away by the centaurs, and was hoping they would find her body somewhere wheras the jolly ol' Dumbledore
had to rescue her. :S
And yea the thing between Harry and Cho was pretty sloppery the way Harry handled things, but I'm sure this will get better in the future books. I would definetly like to see Ron and Hermione finally getting into
that zone as well.
One thing I found really stupid was Sirius dying of a simple stunning 'stupefy' spell..... I mean it's supposed to STUN no matter how hard it is, even if on the chest... not kill someone off! And it had to be Sirius. :\ Well if this helps bring out the 'anger' and the 'power that Voldemort doesn't have' (like the prophecy said), then I guess it's ok.
His so called powers will most probably be love and compassion like Cuc pointed out, but I would love to see a "RAGING" Harry like I mentioned before.
Anyway, that was my 2 bits, I'd love to hear what others think about this. =]
