the half blood prince

Be warned - spoilers for the Harry Potter books, up to and including The Half Blood Prince, are in this post.


I have just finished reading Harry Potter: and the Half Blood Prince, and I am completely unimpressed! It was a horrible ending! I have only recently started reading all of the books, I managed to stay away from the Harry Potter phenomenon when it was happening, and I can see why people are hooked!
Although I think that I have been quite stressed and cranky lately because of these books. There are little glimpses of sunshine but then it is all gloom and doom, and I think it is getting to me! I am going to be happy once I have finished reading the last book!

But last night when Snape killed Dumbeldore, I just couldn't believe it! I know that Snape comes across as evil, and Harry hates him, but I always thought that Snape would be one of the good guys. Sure he has a few issues, don't we all! But in the long run I thought he would end up helping Harry, if not saving him. So I couldn't believe it when he ran into the room and just killed Dumbeldore, just like that. Not happy.

And then Harry breaks up with Ginny. And what a bullshit excuse, "Voldemort could use you against me if we keep going out". Well guess what genius, if you still love her, then Voldemort probably will use her against you whether you're dating or not! Boys are so dumb! Even boy wizards!!

Grrr!!

Today I will buy the last book and get to reading. This is what I'm hoping for:
- Snape will come back to the good side by saving Harry, or even sacrificing himself to help Harry,
- Hermione and Ron will either get together or date other people. I'm a bit sick of the back and forth crap.
- Harry will realise that he is better off with Ginny than without her.
- Maybe they will realise the prophecy was about Neville, and Neville will end up killing Voldemort...hmmm....

We shall wait and see.
