darthmaligna's spoilery review Crap, but vastly entertaining crap on HP7.
Excerpts:
"So yeah, the whole thing about the Deathly Hallows turned out pretty fucking lame. They didn't even really do shit at the end, especially the Resurrection Stone. Fucking MORAL SUPPORT?! THAT'S what the third Hallow gives you? Okay, so there's shit about the Elder Wand that ISN'T EVEN NECESSARY BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S THE ONLY WAND THAT GIVES ALLEGIANCE ANY WAND COULD DO THAT, and the Invisibility Cloak which DOES THE EXACT SAME THING IT'S ALWAYS DONE WHOOP-DEE-DOO, and the Resurrection Stone which YEAH was a horcrux but there's like seven of those and it lends MORAL SUPPORT!? If Harry had, like, combined that shit at the end and been like OKAY NOW THAT I HAVE ALL THREE I CAN DEFEET U it would have been cool but as it was it was just LAEM.
Why does Harry have a screaming child living underneath a chair in his head?
What the fucking fuck is up with Snape's patronus? Why was that necessary? STUPID STUPID STUPID. His patronus should have been a fucking VELOCIRAPTOR. And if he wanted to get Harry to go get the sword in the woods, he could have had his patronus CHASE him into the pool of freezing liquid death. Fuck yeah, that's a patronus that fucking knows how to OPEN DOORS and shit.
But I still like the fact that Snape is dying and he's like LOL I put together this convenient compilation of pertinent memories for you k thx bai.
The final duel with Voldie made me laugh and laugh. I like that all of a sudden Harry turned into a fucking Bond villain and was like "LET ME EXPLAIN MY BRILLIANT PLAN TO YOU BEFORE YOU DIE BECAUSE I THINK I SHOULD REALLY FILL YOU IN ON ALL THE DETAILS YEAH JUST KEEP CIRCLING AROUND ME LIKE THAT AND I'LL JUST TALK OKAY?" Nice. Really nice."
Comment summaries:
renegadecat: If Snape can allow students in Hogwarts to practice Crucio on kids with detention, he can goddamn well cut off George's ear.
emptybackpack: I feel like my entire childhood has been spent waiting to be told that girls have to define themselves by the relationships they're in and that all I'm good for is to be somebody's wife and support someday, fuck my intelligence. Hermione was my role model when I was younger, as she was for hundreds of other little girls who wanted to be big-name scientists someday.
ponk: Also, why do we not find out any hint of what the survivors do for a career/living in this distant future of stupid namebabies. Sure, Neville's a Professor (if it had been of DADA, I would have screamed) but what are the others doing? Remember that essentially Harry, Ron and Hermione are high-school dropouts. Did Harry end up an Auror, etc? Grr. I hope in a few months, once the spoiler taboo has lifted a bit, JKR opens the floor to further questions about the story's resolution.
carmarthen: I don't read Harry Potter, but I think ALL fandoms need velociraptors.
fred_god_of: Naked skinned child=voldemort, because he has no love and love=skin.
mighty_gratira: Yeah, I had to re-read that whole section where Dumbledore talks to Harry, like, three times before I finally though I knew what was going on. And then Harry made that speech to Voldemort regarding the Elder Wand, and I lost it again. Then, I re-read that a few times. Then, I finally found it again. I think.
Harry's entire speech (striped of all wand lore) boiled down to, "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Forgetting Snape's stalker!love for Lily, the idea of him having a beautiful doe as a Patronus is just plain hilarious. Here we are, imagining, like... and evil bat or snake or something.
Ginny was being totally badass in the /background/ of the story. Every time anyone mentioned students pulling shit at Hogwarts, Ginny was in the middle of it. XD Actually, the entire Ginny-Luna-Neville trio sounded pretty damn awesome, even if we only heard about it through little snippets here and there. We should have totally ignored some of those trio angst spots in favor of following Neville's gang at Hogwarts.
And Crabbe turned out to be really evil... incredibly stupid still, but evil. And yet, Draco was still sad he was dead.
And the one thing I can't help but wonder is, will the Room of Requirement still work now that Crabbe started a Fiendfyre in it? Or maybe now every time some student thinks, "OMG, I gots to hide this!", it will open onto a room filled with horrible Fiendfyre?
