The Energon Pub

[Renne]

I just finished it, and I have to say that I really did enjoy it.

She still can't string a sentence together for ****, but storywise it was definitely very enjoyable. The section when Harry, Hermione and Ron return to Hogwarts through to almost the end really shone. The action was great.

HEDWIG DIES.

I think the most rounded character to come out of the whole thing was Snape. And I didn't hate Draco (though after Half Blood Prince, I didn't so much either)! It was clear he'd gotten in over his head. The part where Harry saves him from the fire, well, I was really cheering for Harry to save him.

I also totally cheered when Neville pulled the Gryffindore sword from the Sorting Hat and owned the snake.

Some of the things I did have problems with were:
- Exposition!Dumbledore in the second last paragraph. But that's just poor writing.
- How unnecessary some of the deaths felt. Remus & Tonks for example, just felt like she killed them to boost the bodycount by the end of the story.
- Fred's death seemed to be completely brushed off. In fact, in the whole series the only death that was given any kind of impact was Dumbledore. Even Sirius was all "oops, fell through the veil & dead now, sry".

That's all I've got for now. No doubt I'll manage more once I've talked about it/had a chance to think about it more.
