CJ! 
Omg, I haven't seen you in forever! How are you?! I missed you!

Exactly. I'm still in mourning. It may sound so melodramatic, but I've been crying on and off all week. And I even cried harder the second time I read it. (Although, I have to admit that I was really tired the first time since I read it in one sitting.) It's the end of an era, and the end of our childhoods. Like you said, we grew up with these books. And like the saying goes: "All good things must come to an end."

At least it's not just me...

I will, without a doubt, be reading this book...and the others...until the day I die. I totally plan to have my children read them...when I, you know, have children.

I think I seen it coming awhile ago, but, I still don't understand why Voldemort didn't just have Ollivander make him another wand.

Me either because Ollivander did say that he made Wormtail a wand while he was incarcerated, so...

I especially liked that Voldemort took Lucius' wand. I didn't realize before this book that to be a 'wand holder' was such a big deal...and now Lucius no long is one. Haha. I loved that.

Exactly. I don't care how much they regretted their actions or were scared or forced or whatever, I will always hate the Malfoys. Yes, it was supposed to be about forgiveness, but...Harry's a bigger person than I.

Yeah...that was a little tense for me. As much as I hate to admit it...I would have bawled my eyes out had Draco died. I could really care less about Lucius but...Draco...he's a cowardly little prat but I love him just the same.

It's so the opposite for me. Being the hard-hearted person I am
, I was really hoping that at least ONE of the Malfoys got killed. *sigh* I suppose we still have fan fiction, though.

And I love this thread. It was an excellent idea. *subcribes*

I'm so glad you like it! Again, everyone can contribute. I'm definitely the nut who takes the time to literally make all this analysis and stuff, but I'm certainly not the only one with thoughts on each chapter individually!
