Just finished the book as well...what to say, what to say?

I guess all I can say is that the book leaves you wanting to see a comedy or something cheery. However, I would also say that it is the best in the series because of the depth that you delve into all the characters and how so much stuff ties together, yet somehow makes more questions come up.

Ambiguous meaning...and uncertain futures await our heroes.

Yeah, now that I've read it I'm listening to the audiobook on my iPod, hoping to draw a few more conclusions and pick up on some vague hints.

Listening always helps me with that.

Let me just say, without spoiling what's on it, that page 606 was spoiled for me. A gigantic scan of the page, shoved in my face while looking for a midnight release store.

So if you've read it already, skip back to that page and reread which one it is. And you'll know why I was sick to my stomach for a week before the book came out.

The very worst aspect, without any of the good in the book to go with it.

I finished just about 40 minutes ago. I liked it, but it still hasn't surpassed Prisoner of Azkaban as my favorite Harry Potter book.

I have to say I was a little bit surprised at the end (not the "big surprise," but the very very end), but not unpleasantly. I am really really looking forward to #7 now.

And I swear to God that if Rowling goes crazy and goes past that number... there will be death.

I just finished the book, I thought it was pretty good, but definitely not the best one.

Response to spoiler:
























I assume it's Regulus Black, Sirius' younger brother who was "killed" when he tried to leave Voldemort. I assume he destroyed the Horcrux before leaving, so Voldemort never really had any idea of its destruction.

Ok, I had to skip over all that spoiler stuff but here is my response to this thread:

I picked up the book here in France on Saturday around noon. Read it for a few hours and definately am enjoying it. I am on page 400 or something aournd there. A couple of disappointments but I am keeping my hopes up.

And for those of you you would like to make fun of us HP fans, here is something to chew on:
I have the british copy here in France with me
I have the American copy at my parent's house in Ohio (I preordered and got a free t-shirt)

AND...
I am keeping both of them!
