Dumbledore's father died in prison, his mother dies, and his sister dies within the span of a year? Is death the only way this woman can create interesting characters and/or drama?

He lives.

Albus Severus...amazing, just amazing. When he whispered that name I teared up even more
PD, man up.
Can someone tell me who dies and how? That's all I wanna know.

Hedwig dies, Lupin dies, Tonks dies, Fred dies, Mad-Eye dies, Dobby dies, Bellatrix dies, Voldemort dies, Collin Creevy dies, Snape dies.
Harry "dies," but comes back to life.
Did I forget anyone that Beezy might actually know?
Beezy do you really want to know? :(
Yeah. I don't read the books and I no longer care to. I just watch the movies.
Well they aren't that bad. I'll do it in order (as much as I can)

I am still reading it. It's pretty good but overall, it's pretty silly. Ron is a cigarillo. Why did it take them 3-4 months to realize they should go to Godric's Hollow? That was the first place they should have went. I'm at Godric's Hollow now.
This is the first HP book I have not read completely within a week. It still hasn't grabbed me. HP without Hogwarts is zzz.
PAY ATTENTION. Harry wanted to visit Godric's Hollow at the end of HBP. It took them awhile to get there though. The book is amazing.
Yeah, and they spent September - December wandering in random places just hoping to find something, acting like there's no clues at all when fucking Godric's Hollow should have been the first place they went after leaving the ministry and getting the Horcrux.
You weren't paying attention my friend :(

Ron was injured for a good deal of time, and they had the wand issue. Not to mention Harry's visions. They got to Godric's Hallow two chapters after leaving the Ministry, not 3 months later. Come on mang

Right. Ron left uh......close to the beginning of the school year. Harry and Hermione decided to go off on their own and travel to random places for months on end from September to fucking December. Ron, by that point, was a non issue. Harry should have stuck his tubesteak up her pooper by then, and talked some sense in to the bitch.
Let's see, go to Godric's Hollow or travel to random places for 3 months. Hmmm. This tells me that the characters have not developed or wisened up at all. Ron in particular.

That's not true! Also use spoiler tags

Ron leaves in the chapter RIGHT BEFORE they go to Godric's Hollow. So no, they weren't randomly walking around for two months dude wtf. Also only two chapters separate their escape from the Ministry and their journey to Godric's Hollow
I love you Himu, why are you upset? :'(
spoiler (click to show/hide)
He doesn't leave right before they go to Godric's Hollow. The book didn't give many clues about time until they reached Godric's Hollow, at which time, it was Xmas.
I'm "upset" because a lot of charm in previous books that I really liked is pretty much non existent and replaced with petty story telling.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
They go to Godric's Hollow a few days after Ron leaves. You're overstating the time factor.
I understand what you're saying about the lack of traditional plot elements. That's on of the things I mentioned in complaint while reading the book. You get so used to Hogwarts details as well as other things like Christmas that their absence is jarring. But after while I forgot all about that, especially as the plot began to reveal itself.

After reading the book it's clear Snape is the hero of the entire series, alongside Harry. Truly amazing.

I was on the tip of my chair, and my heart almost lept out my mouth at the end when it seemed like Hagrid died
The 4th chapter was not anything amazing. It was fun. Otherwise, it full of needless deaths.
The "needless deaths" were included to create an accurate portrayal of war. What were you expecting for this book?
QFT

Some people at GAF were complaining about the quick deaths too, saying there needed to be more details. It was a war guys, there was no time to stop fighting and mourn the dead, or magically view every death considering the size of the battlefield and Harry's absence from the front line

When Ron left my spirits actually went down a bit. I understood his reasoning for leaving, and in some ways he was right; while Harry was obsessed about what he had to do (horcruxes) Ron was also thinking as a big brother ought too (Ginny's safety), not to mention the rest of his family's safety. His reappearance was pretty damn awesome, and evolved his character. Before that his "heroic" actions were few and far between. In many ways that entire scene was like a baptism of Ron's character, and he began to put away the old Ron and really become Harry's peer.
The aftermath of chapter 4 was kinda boring (prepping for the wedding) at times, but still enjoyable for the character prose.
Yeah, I agree to a certain extent. That was definitely the weakest part of the book, and I really started wishing other people would show up. Before the book came out I really thought Lupin would journey with them and be Harry's mentor like Sirius/Dumbledore had been. Instead he...

Was sort of a dead beat dad lol. But I bet Tonks would drive any man crazy :lol
And yes, Neville was the ultimate badass. After I first finished OOTP it became clear to me that Neville was going to evolve into a beast. He fought off Death Eaters in three consecutive books alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermonie. And of course Luna was right behind him :heartbeat
I kept tearing up as the book started to wrap up. There were times when I almost wanted to put the book down and laugh/cry.

When Harry lept to life during the final battle and people started yelling out "Harry! There's Harry! He's alive!" I started crying on the spot. It reminded me so much of Aslan's return in the Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe
I cried during lots of kids books

I donīt like Albus anymore. The old man didnīt really care about the boy....he was only keeping him alive as a sacrifice. In Snapeīs memory, Snape told him he was only a little kid and that Albus used him all this time and Albus answered something like "oh snape, you have seen many people die anyway", fucking old bastard. I suppose his way of thinking, "for the greater good", never really changed in his life, he just changed the focus. He was still a manipulative and secretive bastard..
Oh Snape...I actually expected that he was in love with Lily. I was so happy when that turned out truth. Snape is the best character in the series, by far.
