Finished book

but she does have a gift for scenes, and inducing emotion, and the writing is clear and easy to follow and descriptive but not overtly and... I'm not making sense, am I? but I really do admire her writing, it's just that I feel the plotting sometimes lets her down, and maybe the depiction of minor characters though that's probably the ficcer in me talking.
scenes )

I came out of it absolutely loving McGonagall and the twins, with an option on Remus.

But. My big problem that I forgot would occur? I hate schoolkids. Especially boys. Especially mid-teens. Absolutely detest 'em.

Didn't really help with the experience of this book.

I am going to bed now. Perhaps I will sleep this time.

And I am not going to post about OoTP any more. Anywhere. At all. I swear on my mother's grave.

Does that work if she was cremated? I mean, we did bury the ashes...
