harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS
KharBevNor:
It reminds me of 'Twelve Monkeys'?
Nice supposition. I agree with you on the first paragraph as well: The work that took Dumbledore six years was recovering those memories and working out the likely positions of the Horcruxes. Also, no matter how kick-assley Dumbledore is/was, remember he was also running a school and doing all the other stuff he does/did in that time.
darkhorizons:
Somehow, I was disappointed this time around.
Everything in this book seemed rushed. So much information was given in such a short space of time. I know this might have been her aim, with the return of Voldemort, how else would it be? But I mean, when Christmas rolled around I did a double-take, expecting it to only be October.
The plot was amazing, there's no denying it. Delving into the past of Voldemort, and discovering the REAL reason he died was the biggest payoff of this book.
But the things that upset me most about this book were as follows - the hasty H/G breakup (although the whole concept of them together was LONG overdue) and the fact that Harry was contemplating not going to Hogwarts for his seventh year. I feel as if without Hogwarts the Harry Potter books aren't going to be the same. It just won't be RIGHT.
On the whole I feel as if even though the book was well-written, it seems more of a bridge than anything to set the stage for the seventh book.
EDIT: I KNEWWWWW Snape was the HBP.
EDIT AGAIN:
--- Quote from: toastess ---was sirius actually hit with the killing curse? in my memory he just falls through the archway... i think i need to dig out OotP and check... unless someone on here has it committed to memory...
--- End quote ---
It said clearly in the fifth book that Sirius was hit by a bright-green jet of light. Bright Green: Avada Kadabra. Sirius was hit by the killing curse.
Yet a little bit of me still hopes he'll rise from the dead again. He was my FAVOURITE.
SeanBateman:
It actually said that Sirius was hit by a jet of Bright RED light, not green. Which is either stupefy or expelliarmus.
darkhorizons:
Argh seriously? My bad. -_-' I must read up on these silly Potter books.
Switchblade:
Either of which would have knocked him backwards, too.
Ever noticed how Avada Kadavra Sounds a lot like "Abracadabra"? I LIKE that touch... It kind of creates the impression that somehow, somewhere along the line, the incantation for one of the most horrific spell managed to get out among the muggles, albeit in a mutated form. That's a good little detail, I think.
