Told you it would get epic. There's a point in the book where everything just starts clicking, and after that there's no looking back. The action was truly amazing, and there was so much variation. Who would have expected Metal Gear Potter

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

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
