Harry Potter and the Hard to Swallows

by cj592 @ 2007-07-21 - 10:32:36

Well after staying up all night reading the book, I am certainly surprised at some of the outcomes in it!
I certainly didn't expect Ron to commit suicide! But I suppose I understand it after he found out the Hermione was pregnant- with Neville's baby. The whole "Do you have any Longbottom inside you? Would you like some?" seduction scene was very funny!
It was good to see the Professor Trelawny had a bigger story in this book- and I thought the affair with Snape was quite nice. However, when they both got trapped in a time vortex and were sent to the past and we actually found out that they were Harry's parents, I thought that was stretching it a little too far.
IT was also good to see the Sirius Black wasn't dead, but was alive and well and living in Hagrid's beard!
It didn't surprise me that Draco turned out to be gay, and I thought it was touching when he went for the audition to play 'Ralph' in Hogwarts version of the Sound of Music. He would have probably got the part if it wasn't for the fact that he insisted that Crabbe played Leisl! The whole Sound of Music scene was nice, but I must admit- having Professor McGonagall play the mother superior was a mistake! She is nothing like the Mother Superior, from the original Sound of Music!
My favourite part was when Dumbledore came back from the dead as a ghost, using the very magical 'Ailsa's Fridge' from Home and Away. It made me laugh when he had a go at Harry Potter for not being able to read properly. Apparently Dumbledore had not written in the note "Raise Dumbledore's army" he had actually asked Harry to "Raise Dumbledore's armchair" as it was very low on the ground and it was hard to get out of after a few whiskies!
On the whole, a good read but I did think the author was struggling for her own ideas near the end when we found out that Hogwarts was actually housed on top of a giant tortoise being carried by four elephants!

PS. This isn't a real post. I made this stuff up

PPS If this turns to be what really happens then... well it will make an interesting read!
