More HP thoughts.

Some links, and the thoughts they spawned:

• evadne_noel's notes and first impressions
  Very funny, and netting much agreement from me. Don't miss the hilarious comment in the third thread (by the Harmonian "insider"). [For the record, apparently both my sister and my brother thought Ron said that line, too.]
  
  This is still my favorite part:
  A tree. In Albania. Luckily for Voldemort, Albania has only one tree.
  
  Also, reading it made me think of a question: there's a portrait of Snape at Hogwarts, right? Right? I mean, everyone thought he was an evil puppet headmaster, but in actuality he was working for Dumbledore and trying to keep the students safe, right? I mean, I wouldn't expect it to have been mentioned at the end -- how to the portraits get up there, anyway? -- but later? I just don't want to think of Snape truly dying thinking that he was leading Harry to his death. ;_;


• naill_renfro's parody
  Especially good if you got sick of the "subtle" wand jokes and want to see them taken to an extreme. Me? Immature? 'course not. *whistles*
  
  Oh, and LotR paraphrasing, yay.

Oh, and as a bonus, potterpuffs is updated! Luna, squee! And I have to agree with the artist, it does kind of seem like JKR killed Lupin just so he could be in that scene. D:

...uh, I think I had more, but I can't remember anymore. I'll add it here if it comes back to me.

According to one of the interviews with JKR, there isn't originally a portrait of Snape at Hogwarts after his death -- something to do with it not being Hogwarts that wanted him or something -- but Harry works very hard to ensure that there is one put up.

As for reviews, I liked mistful's (forgetting how to do lj person links here), but that's because I am a fanfiction fangirl ^_^

Oh, and if you wanted to do that meme for whatever reason, consider yourself tagged ^^

Hey. Hey. ::poke::

Yeees? Are you not getting my emails? I sent it in two parts -- one this morning, and one after posting this.

Oh, overzealous spam filter.

Now it's my turn to take forever to reply! Maybe.

Wow... didn't know Gmail filtered long rambly emails, too. o_O I guess that's why I don't see any of those "HI I AM THE WIFE OF THE PRIME MINISTER OF SOME AFRICAN COUNTRY" emails in my Gmail account... Yahoo! tends to let those through.

Wand jokes ahoy! *embarks*

(Thank you for the link, I haven't checked her LJ in ages but she's always good fun.)

Also? Potterpuffs is da shiznit. That is all.
