If I had sat down and jotted down some notes on what I thought would happen and in what way - I would have been just about 90% wrong. The book was a present surprise. Total enjoyment!

What surprised me the most? wow. everything. I was nearly yelling at the book.

My biggest shocker was Harry dying then coming back. The thing about Dumbledore's childhood was a major shocker too. I was also surprised that Remus and Tonks got married, but I have half expecting it. I was surprised when we found out Tonks was preggie too. I'm sad they died. Poor Teddy. Dobby's death was a shock to me as well. Fred's death was yet another shocker. *sigh* But the book was utterly AMAZING!

The entire book was very exciting. I loved every minute of it. The things I was most surprised at were:

Dudley being sad about leaving Harry behind.
Kreacher being nice to the Trio.
Dumbledore's shady past.
The deaths of Hedwig, Dobby and Fred.
Harry's fight with Lupin.
Tonks and Lupin having a baby.
Snape's patronus.
Mrs. Wealsey's show down with Bellatrix.

I've got to say, what really surprised me was something that did not happen. I thought all along that Snape was good, and when I was reading the book it made him look like he was bad. I was really confused by that, but he was good in the end

I was also surprised about who had the locket! I never thought it would have been Umbridge!

I was surprised the most about the Final final duel between harry and voldemort... i was expecting it be be alot longer with alot more spells being cast than what there was.

when dumbledore told snape that harry had voldemorts soul inside him

my heart sank

Same here Melted 4 HP. I was like "Ok, now Harry has to die!!! Urgh" But I guess not.

Another thing that really suprised me was the whole Lilly and Snape thing. Everyone was suprised about that I think. I knew that something about Lilly was going to be relealed, but i didnt think it was going to be that. After I read that whole chapter, I figured out that Snape was my fav. Character. It was so sad when he died.

The whole Dudley thing suprised me, though I knew they were somehow going to talk nicely towards one another. I wish that Petunia would have said, SOMETHING!!! I mean come on, she needed to.

Kreacher was so sweet. I liked him after he became good, especially at the end when he brought all of the house elves and started attacking Death Eaters.

And poor Dobbys death was really sad. And when Hedwig died. I never expected him to die at all, it just didn't occour to me, and then he did and it was very sad.

i seriously think i'm psycic (sp) because i wasn't surprised that snape was going to love lily. there was just something going on in the horcrux in the 5th book that i felt that there was more behind lily sticking up for snape. i also wasn't surprised that harry was a horcrux.
but i was surprised that she killed off hedwig and dobby. i cried for both of them. i was really upset that she killed off hedwig so fast!!! i thought there would be this whole big fight at the end where the people would die but they pretty much died throughout the book. *tear tear*
i was also surprised about fred dying. i thought it was "weasley twins forever". but i guess not....*pouts*

Some of the deaths were unexpected..
I wasn't expecting Fred to die..
Or Hedwig and Dobby.
The whole Grindelwald and Dumbledore plot suprised me too.
And Bella having a Horcrux in her Gringotts vault! WOW!

Fred's death. That surprised me the most.

Voldemort's flying and when Lupin and Harry fought...I didn't expect that at all.

Wow...um... While I predicted a few deaths, I wasn't expecting:

-Hedwig's, Moody's, Dobby's, Tonks's, FRED's, Colin's, Crabbe's deaths.

-Dumbledore/Grindelwald plot and how Dumbledore used to be a power-hungry person.

-Ron leaving. I was mortified. That was actually the worst part of the book for me because I love Ron the most, and so to go three chapters without him...but it turned out okay because it really wasn't RON who left...it was like the Horcrux...and he wanted to come back all along, and he saved Harry's life, and he killed the Horcrux, and...I LOVE RON!

-Harry being a Horcrux. I had been convinced that he was not a Horcrux.

-Kreacher's change of character. I knew he'd help with the locket Horcrux, but I always thought he would do it unwillingly.

-The Deathly Hallows concept. I thought the Horcruxes would have been more than sufficient to fill the plotline.

-Dudley's gratitude.

-Snape NOT telling Voldemort himself that he was Dumbledore's man. I knew Snape was good. I knew Dumbledore's death was planned. I knew that Snape loved Lily. I knew Snape would die. But I thought he would let Voldemort know himself that he was not on his side.

ths one thing that suprised me the most was how dudley acted in the thrid chapter!
oh! and hedwig's and fred's death
:[
i was also shocked by kreacher's behavior (thought he didnt like harry)
Mrs. Weasley and Bellatrix fight even thought it was an amazing scene :]

This book was full of suprises!
1. So many deaths, Hedwig, Mad-eye, Fred, Tonks and Remus & Snape, totally schocked me!
2. Dumbledore's dark teenage years, he was so different, power-hungry, ambitious, used the dark arts, didn't care about his sister Ariana until one of them killed her! His friendship with the Dark wizard Grinedwald it was really surprising! Dumbledore lied and used people!
3. Harry himself, being a Horcrux!
4. Molly Weasley fighting and killing Bellatrix, which was amazing and unexpected!
5. Tonks and Remus marrying and having a child.
6. The Harry and Dumbledore scene in King's Cross (what was that about?)

FRED'S DEATH (so sad)

Dumbledore wans't always mr nice guy.

oh yeah and how could i forget Tonks AND lupi'Ns DEATH THAT WAS WAAYYY OUT OF ORDER they should not have died.
