You have been warned. If you have not yet finished reading “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” do NOT read further! This is a discussion for those who have aleady digested the latest episode…
SPOILER ALERT!!! Below the fold…
DOUBLE WARNING…
TRIPLE WARNING…
Only you are responsible now…
I wasn’t surprised that Dumbledore got blasted. If Harry is to assme full hero status, he must do it alone. Yes, he has pledged assistance, but in the final scenes he must face Voldemort alone. It’s required.
I also was not surprised that Snape turns out to be as repulisive as he’s always been. Who thought Snape had been somehow redemmed by Dumbledore’s trust? (I’ll pull a catnip here.) Raise your hands. Um, I thought so.
I didn’t really feel grief until the funeral scene. I just absorbed Dumbledore’s death as so many more words. Am I the only person who gets so caught up in what-happens-next that I don’t feel what’s happening in the scene as I read it? In other words, how the characters react is more important than how I react. Do you wait to feel what they are feeling?
