as i stared out of my bedroom window, i actually wondered why. but of course, answers do not seek you, do they?it's been like this since i last dug up the past.i wondered if you ever gave a damn and i wondered if it was possible. above all, i wondered if it was me. HOLY COW, it was me.
sec 2 was rough, I found it exhilarating; laugh, the joke's on me. if i were less me, if i followed the required and thought within the restricted, would i be a better me?and they say one thing leads to another. snowball effect, butterfly effect, whatever.of course, Mr C-over-my-D here is Mr positive. All right kids, line up!we play dodgeball!
Chill dude, it's smooth.
perhaps tomorrow.maybe yesterday.

if i dun type this, i think i will just literally explode. just got my copy of HPTDH like everyone else and chiong-ed home to read it like the others as well. i would just like to express some disgust and contempt for this stoopid girl who immediately flipped to the end of the book to check out the ending. what a nutter. spoil the story for yourself why dun you?LOSER.
Anyway,Rowling really went all out in this final installment of the potter series i must say. she really covered every genre one could think of. there was humour, romance, tragedy, mystery, horror etc. in fact, the book was so gripping i found myself at the end of my seat every moment. you shld have seen the indignant look i shot at my mother when she came in declaring that i needed some lunch. i nearly hissed at her just as Nagini did to Snape just before she finished him off.
there are two main plot points in this book, namely the Hallows and th Horcruxes. hallows are three objects which when all three are possessed, the owner supposedly becomes invincible, overriding Death himself, which explains the name deathly hallows. they are the Elder wand, the stone of resurrection and the invisibility cloak(Harry's). i will not go into details upon how the invisibility cloak finally fell upon harry(for you have to read the book yourself to find out)but all i can say is that harry came into possession of all 3 though not simultaneously(in the literal sense) so the invicible crap din't show after all. Horcruxes however were all destroyed and harry himself was a horcrux!soooo surprising isnt it?lol.anyway, the seven horcruxes are-riddle's diary, slytherin's locket, marvolo's ring, hufflpuff's cup, ravenclaw's diadem(a crown-like thing which should give the user elevated wisdom), nagini the snake and harry potter. Ta dah!if you wanna find out how they were destroyed, go read or find me.lol.
HPTDH has revealed the truth behind Snape in the book though they manage tohide his true nature to the very end.i am however impressed cos it really made me sympathize with this severus guy, something i've learned not to do after he murdered dumbly in the 6th book but of course it was for a good reason. how else would you expect a children's book to end? but judging by the themes this round..im not sure anymore..haha.
it seems to me that rowling had attempted to draw clean the relationships between the many characters within the story and most of all not forgetting the minor details within their personal life. i personally enjoyed the short inclusion of cho chang which could not have been more than 3 2-3 word spoken dialogue. it was indeed comical i tell you but just go read.moreover, it seems that jealousy and the whole i-cant-drag-you-into-this-as-well seems to be high in the air.the emotional entanglements are well placed i must say.they were'nt too overwhelming, not for me anyway.
death was in the air as well, i guess you get some and you lose some. in contrary to popular belief, ron and harry did not die. neither did cho chang tho my classmates(females) have been fervently cursing her under their breaths. instead, i found the deaths quite unexpected. here is the list:
1)Alastor "mad-eye" Moody
2)Remus Lupin
3)Nymphadora Tonks
4)Fred Weasley
5)Severus Snape
6)Bellatrix Lestrange
7)Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort
8)Ted Tonks(nymphadora's father)
9)Dooby
i think that's all for the more impt people.most upsetting for men was dooby's death in particular. stabbed to death by bellatrix who threw a silver knife at him.he was saving harry potter as usual.it was very depressing but on the bright side, kreacher is no very loyal to harry whom he recognises his new master alrd after a particular incident.also, it si deeply sadenning to see the lupins fall apart. to think that tonks had a baby. yes ppl, she married lupin and they have a son.his name is teddy remus lupin. named after tonks father and took lupin's as his middle name. it turns out that he grew up well, considering that the book mentioned him dating bill and fleur's daughter victoire somewhere near the end since they were caught snogging by harry's son. yeah..i'll come to that later.the first 4 died at the hands of the death eaters but fred was more of accidental since he died after falling when a whole side of the castle crumbled to the ground.the most amusing one would be lestrange's cos her killer was mrs weasley!it nver occured to me that that lady was so strong. she was more than on par with bellatrix i must add.never underestimate anyone from the order sia..lol..shan't tok bout voldey for you guys can very well guess his killer alrd.yup it's harry.
ok..now children..i will end this with the offspring of the heroes.
1)harry potter and ginny weasley
a.james potter
b.albus severus potter
c.lily potter
2)ron weasley and hermione granger
a.hugo weasley
b.rose weasley
3)remus lupin and nymphadora tonks
a.teddy remus lupin
4)bill weasley and fleur delacour
a.victoire weasley
5)draco malfoy and (unknown woman)
a.scorpius malfoy
that's about all ppl..if i remember some more, i'll update.im only posting cos im over the top now..haha..nite and enjoy.here's part of snape's memory.
'After all this time?'
'Always,' said Snape
Only those who read the book will understand why i like this part..haha..nite ppl.
perhaps tomorrow.maybe yesterday.
