I don't mind terrible deaths. It just seems like half of them were done just for shock value.
I disagree. They were basically at war, and death is par for the course. When you first said that you're fav'rit was killed, I was trying to figure out who you meant, but Lupin? His death didn't suprise me at all - when it was announced that he was going to be a dad, I knew he was gonna take a dirt nap. A way to make things more tragic and whathave you. The only death that took me by surprise was Fred's. I didn't expect any of the Weasley's to go. His and Snape's death saddened me. Especially when you realized that Snape had done what he done because he loved Lily so much.
This was ok, but I felt it plodded - a LOT. The 80 or so pages when all they were doing was moving around and living in a tent? Nothing happened! Damn, all of that could've been edited significantly.
Four still is the most exciting of the books.

You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
