What did u hate? What did u love?-:*DH*

What did you hate? What did you love?

This is all bt ur fav and worst moments while reading Dh book..

as per me..this is my list..

LOVED

The things I loved the most were mostly in the first half of the book I think. (setting up how the wizarding world is coping, what Voldemort is up to and where Harry went after school)

Some of the ones I can remember, but I'm sure there's more:

That we got to see Malfoy Manor and how Voldemort interacts with his Death Eaters

All of Rita Skeeter's nonsense - in particular the sort of words she used to describe Dumbledore's and Harry's relationship, I so laughed at that.

That Dumbledore had such a complicated past and the whole "for the greater good" aspect of him

Hedwig's death. I mean ok, it's hard to say "I loved it", but I enjoyed it in the sense that I totally didn't see it coming and it really made an impression

When George loses the ear to Snape (again painful to read but it so struck the right cords with me) and the ear humour

The idea of having seven Harrys and the whole scene when the seven Harrys are changing clothes.

The way the trio goes into hiding and all the confusion and frustration they endure because they don't know what they're supposed to be doing.

Potterwatch

Daniel Radcliffe will have another opportunity to get naked erm, ok I don't think they're actually going to include that (I'm talking about the beginning of the King's Cross scene), but I still laughed

Hermione - just generally I've loved her more in DH than I did in any of the other books

The birthday present that Ron gave Harry and how Ron used it to talk to women throughout the book.

Neville pulling the sword out of the hat.

DISLIKED

Some of the Snape-Lily stuff. I didn't really buy into Snape loving someone so deeply that he'd do anything (as he tells Dumbledore) for a chance to keep them safe (love yes, but not like that - heck from what we see in this book it's doubtful whether Dumbledore can love like that, so why can Snape?). And something where I totally thought "er, what?" was the scene where the adult Snape cries in Sirius's bedroom. I thought it was veeery out of character.

The lack of Snape's sarcasm. I know there wasn't really room for it as we only see Snape with people who are either his equals or his superiors, but I really missed it *sigh* And actually I missed the twins as well - they always helped a lot with humour and just generally there was less humour in the books than I would have liked...

Dumbledore dieing because of the ring. I didn't like it because it made his decision to part with his life much easier - easier than I think it should have been (especially since he understood Voldemort's quest for immortality in a way that I think few of us expected). And also I think he put Snape into a position where Snape actually sacrificed more than Dumbledore did.

Dumbledore's plan - I've only read the book once so far, but I'm rather lost in it. I don't understand what he foresaw, what he didn't foresee and how he knew many of the things he did. He seems to have known a lot about what happened in Godric's Hollow, but we still don't know how he knows it all.

That there were so many deaths. A lot of them didn't move me because I just got desensitised as the book went on. With each death I felt less. For some of them I only felt surprise, rather than any sort of pain.

Some of Harry's realizations that this is what he should be doing without any explanation of how he arrived at it other than that it was a gut feeling - he had a lot of these moments in this book, rather too much for my taste.

The harry/ginny marriage

put in ur golden thots..

i loved the whole book... that's all i have to say

Loved:

I think the whole Ministry fiasco and Kreacher was nice to Harry 😊

Krecher's tale of RAB was interesting

Bill-Fleur Marriage
😆
Dumbledore's mysterious past 😉and Godric's Hollow

Xenophilus explaination of the Hallows

Hermione's character in this...Loved her completely in this one 👏

Malfoy Manor chapter 👏

Gringott's planning 😊

The Diadem thingy with Helena Ravenclow and when everyone was fighting with the death eaters

Snape's tale-even though I hate Snape..this is the most fav chapter in the entire series for me..I have no clue why 😕 I read just this chapter like 5 times when I was reading the book.

Neville killing the snake and Molly killing Bellatrix and calling her the b word...I was laughing so hard 😆 😆

What I hated: 😡

Ron and Hermy's bikcering after Ron comes back-I thought I had enough of this!

Ron's leaving -it made me hate his character😡

Hedwing 😭 😭 and ,Dobby and Reums and Tonks and Fred dying 😭 😭 😡

The fact that Harry doesnt want to keep the Elder Wand 😕 I can understand the stone but the wand!

The way Voldy dies..it should have been more dramatic! 🤢

Ron-Hermy marriage-even though I knew it was always going to be them..I always wanted Harry-Hermy 😉 😳 Harry-Ginny isnt that bad for me

and the fact that Dumbledore is gay..no offence to anyone but I wont believe that my most fav character is gay.

Nice Topic.😊

Loved:

• The Chapter "King's Cross". It tests ur understanding capacity in one way. a beautiful theory of kind of a parallel universe and how everything in the world coexists. also, DD made us really emotional in this chapter didnt he?!😉
  

• Dumbledore's past. He is such a complex creation. In fact I wud say My personal favourite part of HP Is the part when Dumbledore's past was revealed. While Rita's twisted half baked understanding left me in dilemma, the truth revealed at the end was a treat...It was just a deep mysteriy.😊 Elphias Doge's Obituary was no less painfully beautiful
  

• Snape's Past. now, some may say it was "unimaginable" but I cant agree. One thing, if there was one character who mystified me like hell from the beginning till the end that has been Snape and I haven't been arrogant enough to pass a judgment on his character in the beginning. I for one believe that a human being has the capacity to hide inside him the most contradictory yet the most interesting of virtues and emotions. So u cant "expect" anything from a person and think to get satisfactory acts from him/her. Bcoz nothing that a person is capable of doing as a human being is "out of character" bcoz its all there in the human mind.If a human being is capable to behaving one way, how is it out of character if he does behave in that very human way?!😉 Also, Rowling rather reflects the strength of Love and at the same time how every kind of emotion is tainted in one way (Snape being ready to do and sacrifice anything for Lily) but the gradual evolution which makes is Pure when u understand its purity. all in all, the evolution of a humanely flawed person.

• Dumbledore dialogue.."I think sometimes we sort a bit too soon"- It shows how unfair and cruel it is to judge sumone character and pass a judgment at the start of his/her life itself. It again points towards the capability of man to evolve and understand with the tide of time.
  

• Harry making Peace with death. His final understanding of the inevitability of Death.

• Harry's dialogue to his son Albus telling him how he was named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts and 'One of them, a Slytherin, was the bravest man he ever knew'--a touching testimony.
  

• The moment when Hermione and Ron say it straight on Harry's face to just shut up and stop trying to persude them from going with him to search for the horcruxes. When Hermione tells him of what she has done with her parents and Ron shows him the Ghoul. Their Friendship-So strong and true.👏

• The way Voldemort was fnished doing justice to all his prodigious magical skill and his pumpkin headed complacency.
  

• Neville finishing Nagini and Molly finishing Bella...Way To go!😉

• Ron finishing the Horcrux Locket in spite of all the horrible things it did to him

• Hermione's argument with Xeno😆

• Harry's decision to leave the Stone and Wand and not to use them. They are temptations to fools and are dangerous Objects. Better a sarcophagus to them

• Percy coming back..It was hilarious yet a poignant instance.
  

There may be many other instances I loved when I read it, But as of now, this is all I recall😳

Overall, I absolutely loved DH😊

What I hated:

• Hedwig ,Dobby, Reums ,Fred dying - well it wud only have been really wierd if all these characters of poignance in the book escaped unscathed..But still miss all of them a lot😭

• and The way Snape died...I always had the gut feeling he wasnt going to survive this book but thw kind of death he had to suffer - It was terrible...why did he, of all people, have to get such a terrible death? He, who is the bravest of them all, ended up getting the worst possible kind of death...His neck bitten off by that wretched Nagini. It was horrible really...I was feeling really shocked and uncomfortable reading that part. lets say one comfort was that he died looking at Lily's eyes at least!😳
  

• Draco being portrayed as an absolute Coward.

• Umbrige sticking poor Mad Eye's magical eye on her Door..Horrible Woman!😡😡😡
  

• The entire epilogue except "Albus Severus". Just cant digest Harry Ginny marrying Blah Blah..seems wierd and incongruous in HP for me.

• Aberforth's attitude towards his brother. although he cannot be blamed at all for it, still the fact that he was unable to get over that feeling a hatred for his brother even after one whole century i Painful. Some emotions run too deep, agreed, but all the same a never forgiving attitude is indeed painful😭
  

• and the fact that Dumbledore was capable of planning all this and foreseeing so much is really kind of mad n no sane person can do it but well afterall I cant claim him not to be Mad and Insane!😉 So lets just accept it...HP is absolutely fictional after all!!😉

Don't think of this an attack 'cause it's not but why on earth should him being exclusive to men make you like him any less? I just don't get it and nobody seems to want to clear this up for me. 😕

To answer this post:

I liked everything except the following:

Didn't particularly care for the Harry/Ginny pairing, I've always been for Harry/Draco. The epilogue rather brought all my dreams crashing down on that front. *sniffles*

Didn't particularly care for the Draco/Astoria pairing either. Read above.

Severus, Remus and Fred's deaths.

My answer is exactly like ur's n lakshmi's but I love the epilouge too 😳

no no I said that I just cant digest it.. I still love Dumbledore but ..I dont know why..I've actually never been exposed to that stuff...so its uncomfortable..I'm sorry if I hurt anyone

^^exactly.
It makes no change to his character and makes our liking for him no less but one cant deny this was quite an unanticipated and unnecessary revelation

Then I suggest you get "exposed" to it, 'cause it seems you cannot accept something that's a part of him and if you cannot accept that part then you don't accept him.

I expected it. Many people expected it. Of course some people's reasoning (before this all came out) was his rather flamboyant cloths. I've always considered him asexual up until the time the book introduced Elphias. Personally, I think he was acting more like a widower than a bff. I think, he could still be considered a gay asexual, though.

As per it being unnecessary: lots of things JK has revealed is unnecessary so do you propose she leave this out simply because people don't want to digest this new info on one of HP's most greatest characters?

Sorry if I'm cutting off peoples head here but there's only so much explaining I can do, in a nice tone before I reach the edge of my tether. I can honestly say why some people use derogatory terms and insults as a comeback, now. Btw, Tani91, it's not you that's done it because I honestly think you meant nothing by it; so usually I'd ignore comments such as yours but, it seems, ignoring is breeding more hate and in essence more discrimination and I'm done with all this bigotry. This week has been somewhat of an eyeopener and I'm taking a much stronger stance when it comes to LGBTTQAA's (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgenders, Transexuals, Questioning, Asexuals, Allies).
