Spoiler Alert! HBP - Read at own risk!

How crazy were those last few chapters anyway!?!?!?! I felt, not really surprised that old Albus kicked the bucket, but what stunned me (as a growing Snape fan) was the WAY that the old man died! How cruel and unrelenting was that?!?!?!? And Lupin/Tonks being canon? That I REFUSE to believe! Who has kidnapped JK Rowling and attempted to take her place for the last eight or so chapters of HBP? More importantly, whose briliant idea was it to write in those completely weird bits, like the partial werewolf bite on Bill and the vampire at Slughorn's Christmas party? And seriously, "Galatea Merrythought"? Did somebody run out of last names?

I'll admit, I liked the book in most respects (especially the Horcruxes and Luna's commentating) and I found some of the romance well done. But "Cissy" being a canon nickname for Narcissa Malfoy? Draco being assigned to murder Dumbledore? and the entire cave chapter just didn't make much sense. Inferi? Did that come from Scooby-Doo on Zombie island? I expected slightly more feasible plot twists. Though through all this, somehow, I feel neither cheated nor dissatisfied!

Excuse this pointless post as a way for me to rant and rage without being banned from a community or giving away plot spoilers to those who do not yet have a copy of the book!
