Thread Starter 
This is the only place on MDC for Deathly Hallows spoilers. We'll open this thread sometime after the book is released on 7/21/07 (details forthcoming) for discussions on the new book. Please wait until the thread is open to discuss Book 7. Please do not start threads elsewhere that divulge details of Book 7. Anybody placing spoilers anywhere other than in this thread will be sent to the Dungeon, with Snape. (Book Snape, not Alan Rickman Snape)

So, hang on tight and get ready...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


This Thread Contains Spoilers!!!! If you don't wish to be spoiled run away!!

I never did understand what was so very important about Harry having Lilly's eyes.

the whole character doing magic late in life thing, I guess they were referring to

Aberforth, but I don't recall him ever being described as nonmagical.


One thing that bothered me:

the cloak-supposedly impervious to all magic and could render someone invisible to anyone forever right? Except mad eye Moody could see right through it in book 5. :



I was right about everything I'd predicted =D Anyone else just sob at the mention of

I guess that was the Snape thing?? I didn't think that was well explained either, Dumbledore was trying to tell Snape Harry was more like Lily, but..I dunno

It rendered them invisible to *Death* but was impervious to magic so..I guess the wearer couldn't be attacked by magic, and they couldn't be seen by *Death*??? Not sure.

If you'll recall Dumbledore could see through it in book 1 so more than one person could see through Harry's cloak.

A lot of things are wrapped up but I don't think everything was. :

There is a big hole between the end of the fight and the epilogue and I found that irritating. I could have used another chapter before the epilogue.

I've never read any of them either, I think I might have seen a couple of the movies, but I had to go read the synopsis on Wikipedia.

Do we still have to keep up with the tags? Not sure, but I did anyway so I wouldn't get sent to the dungeons.

Warning :: Spoiler Ahead! Highlight to read message!
Loved it!!! I started at 1235 last night and finished it at 638 this morning. I just woke up and took a shower. I am definitely going to have the reread the ending but that was by far, one of the most amazing endings ever. Forget the epilogue- Harry freakin' died and came back to life! I completely cried to during different parts fo the book. I think the deaths of Hedwig and Dobby really hit me. Hedwig just came out of nowhere. I was totally not expecting her to die- most of the other deaths, at least I had a clue that it might be coming. And Snape- omg! I cried during the entire Pensieve scene with all of his memories of Lily and how he spoke of always loving her to Dumbledore.

It was just amazing. Wow.

I was just kind of doing it higher up on first page in case people wondered in on accident

We probably don't need to continue much more.

I cried during a lot of the book but I am a cryer, anything can set me off. But

I BAWLED when Dobby died, I am not THAT fond of Dobby but it really set me off. I guess it was just the straw ya know?? Several people die before Dobby and that just made it worse.
