Been planning to put up another post for a while... But didn't get around to doing it yet (well, obviously...)
Anyway... mm... First thing first... Back to school. But seems like my brain is not ready to do some 'heavy' work yet (as always)
Maybe it will get heated up next week, or maybe even the week after. Soon hopefully...
I'm still in the holiday mood... Still dreading to be able to sleep in again, and just bumming around the house like a lazy pig
But then, I have to wait for another 9 weeks to go past before I can do that again
My friends are back here in oz from their trips to overseas countries / back home. Anyway, I didn't feel that lonely as I thought I would when I found out they're all going away
Hm, what else... When I'm not on my computer, I have lots of things that I can think of to write.. But when I'm sitting here infront of it... I just completely forgot bout all of them.
O yeah... Ailz just told me that 'Berocca' reminded her of me... Although I have never taken a single Berocca pill before. Nor have I acted like I've taken some in the morning. But for some reason.. according to her... Me = Berocca. Maybe it's because everytime she takes the pills in the morning, I'm the one who has to suffer... Enduring 45 minutes of bus ride to school with her acting like crazy beside me *sigh*
K... Next topic... I'll talk bout Harry Potter. So anyone reading this post and is still reading H.P. and wants to continue doing so without any spoilers, stop reading right now. This warning is also for those who haven't started reading the book yet, but intends to do so in the next couple of days/weeks/months/(preferrably not years). Do not scroll down for those who don't want any spoilers!
Last warning! Click 'X' at the top right page RIGHT NOW to avoid reading any spoilers!
Right... I'll assume that those of you still reading this has either finished reading the book / couldn't care less bout the ending / desperately wants to know the ending without finishing the 600+ pages book
Anyway... I thought the book was crap.. I mean, not crap, but it just wasn't as exciting as the previous ones.
Maybe it's because with the previous ones, we (or Harry) didn't know as much bout what's going on, and only knew about it at the end, when Rowling stopped rambling (this word is pretty harsh for what I actually wanted to point out) starts to put her foot on the accelerator in the last 200 pages or so.
But with this book, we pretty much knew about everything that was going on, except for what Malfoy was trying to do.
And the interesting bit bout Harry's adventure didn't last very long too. I mean, compared to book 4 where he had to stay in camps during the Quidditch World Cup, or his Triwizard tournament, followed by his long encounter with Voldemort/Death Eaters. Or compared to book 5 where his fight at the Ministry lasted for paaaaggggeeess...
But with this book, it's only a short one with him going to that cave with Dumbledore, and only followed by chasing Snape & Malfoy.
And of course.. I didn't like the ending. I mean... Dumbledore's dead. Who would like this ending? I think readers will miss D'dore coz he was mentioned a lot, and I mean A LOT in this book. Usually, he'll only turn up once or twice before he played an important part in fighting with Harry or explaining Harry of what has happened in the past. But with this book, I think Rowling has made us feel closer to D'dore coz he has spent a lot of time with Harry (or us) by taking him to visit the memories and of course, the cave adventure.
Anyway, bottom line... I hate the ending...
That's bout it I guess... I mean, you don't have to agree with me. I'm not a book reviewer, or an English teacher, or someone who has a fair bit of experience in giving comments. I'm simply just thinking out loud (in paper). Anyway, that's just what I thought of the book. So far the 4th one is my favourite one. Hopefully the 7th and last one will be much better.
I better get going... I need some more sleep... I'm still not used to sleeping for a short time, since I've been sleeping like a pig for the last 3 weeks
