Well. Where to begin? I think I'll start off by saying that this book might very well end up as my favorite. Except for that one part where FRED DIES >:( it was a very enjoyable book. So dark. Total bloodbath. Without a lot of actual blood, since people were dying from curses and such.

People have been saying that there was a lot of senseless death in this one, but y'know, it's a WAR and in WAR people DIE. Senslessly. I mean I figured Snape would die. That was kind of a given. I also figured he was good. And that he and Dumbledore had some sort of agreement before the tower scene in book 6. Speaking of Snape, I wasn't suprised that he was in love with Lily, but I was suprised JK made it canon. I thought it was just fannish speculation. But now as I look back, it makes sense.

I was sad about Hedwig, but that death was sort of overshadowed by all the others. Mad-Eye, you shall be missed. And so will George's ear.

Guh. Poor Weasly family. Poor George. Ugh. HOW COULD SHE BREAK UP THE TWINS LIKE THAT?! I always said that the worst thing any author can do is kill one twin and leave the other alive. Especially identical twins.

But oh man. Molly. Fucking. Owned. Bellatrix. (Though I still say Neville should have been the one to do it.)

AND NEVILLE. SO BADASS. He's come a long way from the scared, stuttering boy who tried to stop the trio from going out after hours.

So the Horcruxes bite it as follows:
1. The diary. Basilisk fang'd by Harry.
2. The ring. Stabbed by Dumbledore using the sword of Gryffindor that killed the Basilisk.
3. The locket. Stabbed by Ron also using the sword.
4. The cup. Basilisk fang'd by Hermione.
5. The diadem. Inadvertenly Fiendfyre'd by Crabbe.
6. Harry himself. Temporarily done in by Voldemort.
7. The snake. Decapitated by Neville using the Gryffindor sword. Neville, your Gran must be so proud :3
