I didn't see the H/G as coming out of nowhere, considering how Harry has always viewed Ginny, plus the fact that he finally has gone a year without Cho infatuation and is older than twelve, PLUS the fact that Harry is too dense (girl-wise, anyway) and never actually saw Ginny really enjoy herself with another guy. And Harry is 16.

But yes, I can understand if you're a bit miffed, it could have been a little more elaborate if JK had wanted to put out a few more pages (I mean, she didn't mind doing that for the last two books, ne? X_X)--but at the same time, I don't mind so much because it was highly comical and preferable compared to CAPSLOCK!Harry of the previous year.

I really hope Snape can fix himself in the end, even if I don't see a whole lotta hope for this. The next book better be MASSIVE to tie all this up.

Fleur = THE YAY. XD

I got the same feeling that R.A.B is Regulus Black, which would be a nice redeeming factor for him and explain why he was killed.

I was rather impressed with Narcissa, to be honest.

My <3 for Ginny is uber-high as always.

Hermione sending the canaries after Ron = priceless XD

I'm satisfied shipping-wise, so now the next book will probably have little shippiness in it. Which I would be ok with if it's there at the end, when all is over with.

And I hope Harry's not the one to snuff it. But I wouldn't put it past JK.
