I've decided that I really need to start writing more, so I'll start with this small spot. My wife and I just finished reading the 7th Harry Potter book, and we loved it. The book had action, mystery, suspense, and a small smattering of love. So many questions were finally answered: Was Harry a horcrux? Who was Severas Snape really working for? Who would die and who would live? and more.

This book had me choked up half the time. I have to say that the three people who caused me the most sadness were Fred Weasley and Remus and Nymphadora Lupin. I was completely surprised by the death of Fred. Fred and George were both two of the coolest characters in the book. They could take any situation and make it funny and were loyal to Harry Potter until the end. Remus and Tonks weren't as much of a surprise to me due to the forshadowing of making Harry Teddy's Godfather. I was thinking to myself at that time, "will she do the same thing again?" She did.

I was glad to find out that Severas Snape really was working for Dumbledore to the very end. I think it was a very dramatic moment for Harry Potter to find out the truth, and to know that Snape had loved Lily Potter all his life and had her patronus. This was a cool revelation.

The whole thing about Harry Potter being a horcrux and dieing for the protection of others was a pretty cool concept. The whole thing seemed so messianic. Harry Potter willingly giving his life and then essentially coming back from the dead.

There is so much more I could say about the book, and will probably add to this later. For now I need to go; just know that this book was very well done from beginning to end. Kudos to J.K.
