Was anyone else disturbed by Hermione's torture scene? That was horendous, especially Ron's screaming.

It does. Darth_Omega is correct, though the scene is not immediately recognizable.

Exactly. And the cover is brilliant, really -- it shows precisely the moment when Harry has defeated Tom (loved how Harry called him that -- except that until you read the book, and know that it's the wand that Harry is reaching for and Voldemort has lost, can you tell. So infinitely better than the pathetic depiction of the LeStrange vault on the UK cover.

I always thought the American covers were superior to the Britsh ones but at east my british copy is written entirely by Jo with no changes the US editions have tongue

I am blacking out everything!

I finished it more than 15 hours ago and it was great. I loved every bit of it!
Lets see...I was right about R.A.B, Snape, Harry being the 7th horcrux, Lily and Snape...All the fans pretty much got it right?

I wished Fred, Lupin, Tonks would have survived sad But I assumed she would split up the twins and Lupin and Tonks were dead right after Lupin made Harry godfather.
I thought Hedwig would die sad but I also thought Harry would get Fawkes! Where did he go? I loved Harry giving Dobby a respectful burial.

I knew the Doe was Snape's patronus! The Prince's tale was such a great chapter. I didn't expect Snape to die that soon. I always imagined Snape telling Harry everything personally or at least Harry talking to Snape after he knew everything. I thought they would be on friendly terms after Harry knew about Snape and that Snape would live. But it makes him such a tragic character now.

I loved the end Hogwarts at war! Percy's return! Kreacher leading the house-elfs! Teachers putting enchantments...Everyone dueling for Harry It was great! Mrs. Weasley killing Bellatrix was so perfect!

Harry was the best! Dumbledore telling him Harry is better than him was wonderful. Harry going to his death was beautifully done. The whole chapter was so sad and then when he uses the stone to call his family to help him go to Voldemort... I knew Harry would survive somehow and only his Horcrux part would die somehow. I am not sure what saved Harry the Hallows (since the wand was his even though Voldemort had it) or Lily's blood? I think it was Lily's blood...didn't Dumbledore say so?

But I think she left many lose ends which hopefully will get answered through interviews, chats and her website. I loved the epilogue and little Albus Severus's first year at Hogwarts depature scene! He felt so much like Harry and little James was like James and little Lily reminded me of Ginny.

I am going to re-read it after my sister is done! I can't believe it has all come to an end *sigh* I shall re-read the series after I re-read the 7th book again!

Speaking of covers, what the heck was the deal wit the castle on the back of the UK ed? I guess it was Hogwarts, but why is it white? Am I missing something?

I like all UK kid covers, except book 7 if I weren't a completest I would have gotten the adult version tongue Anyway I think Hogwarts is white because of the moon shining so brightly.

So I guess it's just a "general" depiction of Hogwarts, and not meant to show it on the night of the battle -- if the moon is full, Lupin should either be turning into a werewolf or be practically incapacitated from drinking the potion.

It was not Lily's blood that saved Harry. Tom didn't take Lily's blood; he took Harry's. No, the reason Harry was able to return was because Tom took his blood and therefore the protection Lily gave to Harry continued so long as Tom was alive. That meant Harry could not die while Tom survived. This was the great miscalculation by Tom and the reason Dumbledore gets a twinkle of triumph in his eye at the end of GoF. All Tom did was destroy the part of his soul that was inside of Harry. Harry could then come back to life because his mother's sacrifice persevered through Tom.

I meant Harry's Lily protected blood when I said Lily's blood tongue

And the UK back cover had me wondering for a while so it's definitely nothing?
I like the other UK covers too and I love OotP's cover but the US covers are so much more detailed

Ah I'm half way though the book and my wife won't let me continue reading it until she's caught up/passed me. So far I think it's the best book yet but hate the fact she keeps bring more and more questions without answering any of the old ones. I mean she has answered a few but she's bringing in more then she's answering.

I don't know what it was about Chamber that puts it at the bottom of almost every list I see. It's not a bad novel by any means, either.

I'll say this though, I thoroughly enjoyed Deathly Hallows. It's not a perfect book but it's darn close.
