I am terrible about replying to comments and PM's in a timely fashion. It's all good :)
Lol very true but if I'm going to make a switch then now would be the time to do so.
I love it. I want to print a copy and stick it in my wallet so that when I'm angsting over homework I can take it out and laugh my head off :)
I literally read this message the moment I was walking out the door to go and see it at the local drive-in movie theatre. I didn't cry throughout the whole thing the way I thought I was going to but I did shed a tear or five-hundred T.T Lol, if I'd gone through with the trade my mom might have noticed anyway >.>
Rotfl. Next time you're lurking just knock on the window. I'll bake cookies and you can pick my brain for plot bunnies in between my soliciting your opinions on different art supplies and novels :D
I'm going to re-read the entire series at some point over the next few months, perhaps during winter break, and I'll definitely keep an eye out for Ginny being kick-ass. I think the parallels drawn between her and Lily detracted from any development she made as a character throughout the series and, while I don't dislike her, I think J.K. Rowling went "Hmm, Harry needs a girlfriend and ... oh yeah, Ginny!" and that just doesn't do it for me.
As for Hr/R (And since I never shipped either of them with ANYONE I have no idea what their name mash was XD) I think my biggest problem with the pairing off of Hermione and Ron throughout the novels was the dichotomy between some of their specific character traits. Hermione was the brain. Harry was the brawn. Ron, for me, was a bit of a third wheel. Regardless of the fact that his character was redeemed in the last novel, he was basically useless for a huge part of the series and, because of that, I had to suspend my disbelief to see his relationship with Hermione as anything other than J.K. Rowling trying to tie up yet another loose end and provide a happy, "normal" ending for her readers.
Basically? I was just looking for a tiny bit of realism. In a series about magic.
