mostly nonspoilery reaction post

So I read the Potter book. About 2 pages per minute; seems I'm pretty consistent. I need to go back and re-read it, obviously, but my immediate reaction is: well, I didn't hate it.

She didn't do what I wanted her to do in re: killing off Harry, but I suppose that's what's expected. I just didn't expect her to take the Dumbledore-ex-machina approach AGAIN for that. Sigh.

Some really terrible parts, some really good parts, and a whole lot of killing. I think that's my takeaway.

AND OLIVER OMG!!! \o/
