Wow, I blew through that book!
And I was right! Snape was a good guy after all. I think. At the very least, he certainly enjoyed Lily's company. Speaking of which, did you notice how, just before Snape dies, he asks for Harry to look at him so he can see his eyes, which are just like Lily's? Awww, isn't that sweet!
In conclusion, though, I would say that the Deathly Hallows was a worthy finish to the series, though it got off to a very slow start. I suppose that is the custom of the Potter series, to finish with a bang, and this one certainly did.
This final novel was also packed to the brim with back stories, particularly Dumbledore's and Snape's, with a little bit of Harry's parents thrown in. I enjoyed this, because Snape is my favorite character, and Dumbledore is probably in the top 5.
Now that I mention it, I blew through that entire series. I'm certainly going to feel a bit of nostalgia, every time I see one.

ReplyDeleteWas there any aspect of the 6th movie that troubled you? There was one BIG choice that the filmmaker made that I thought was a huge error in interpretation.
I'm glad you enjoyed the books--sometimes it's fun to conform when the activity is worthwhile!
