I finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

OMFG SHE KILLED ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS! Why, Sirius, WHY??? *sobs* I mean...I'd read spoilers, but...somehow I was still in denial even after skipping ahead to see if they were really true.

I have a funny feeling that I've received the inspiration for my first HP fic. If I ever get around to THAT.

Ahhh...I still think the title is a bit odd, Hobbity. It fits but it doesn't. I think I might have named it something more like Propehcy of Mysteries or something to do with the DA or Umbridge or ANYTHING.

I <3 Grawp. "HERMY, WHERE'S HAGGER?" *sniggles madly*

I also <3 Firenze, poor fellow.

I hate Fudge, which is odd, because I liked him back in PoA. I usually don't change my mind, but then, he was a minor character and he WAS an awful prick ever since the end of GoF.

I'm happy that the whole Harry/Cho thing never got that far. I have to say it felt a little "last-minute-throw-in" in GoF, and all through OotP she was whiny and annoying. Really, Ron crushing on Fleur Delacour wasn't that annoying.

Someone (Hobbity and Dutch?) told me I'd like Luna Lovegood, but I have to admit I didn't really feel for her until that last scene with her and Harry in the halls, when she was putting up notices for her stuff.

I adore Tonks. I cannot even begin to describe how effing cool Tonks is. And I SO wish I could do that with my hair.

I think my favorite bit of the whole book, though, was Snape's Worst Memory. I also (beyond residual liking him from Dutchie) REALLY felt for him for the first time--and that may become fanfiction, too. We shall see after I buy Half-Blood Prince on payday!

BTW--if I was in Hogwarts, when career advice came around, I think I'd want to go into the Department of Mysteries--out of sheer curiosity as much as anything else, lol!

And I'm glad that the wizarding world finally accepts Harry and Dumbly's story, and I'm glad they'll all be able to fight and all, but...

...I keep coming back to Sirius. Harry's not the only one who's missing him. And dammit, why didn't Harry find that two-way mirror WAY earlier??? Maybe then Sirius WOULD have had it on him when he died--gack. Harry was also not the only one trying to think up ways to talk to a dead man. Go me.

And, you know, the more I think of it--they never REALLY showed Sirius's body. *dashes off to compse conspiracy theories*
