Re: The Never Ending Thread

First, Happy Birthday Angry.

I actually finished the book Sunday night, but decided to read the ending again last night. I'm satisfied with how the series ended. If you guys are waiting for Harry to go all "matrix" on Voldemort, you're going to be disappointed with the last two movies.

No MATRIX WTF over! I mean then why in the hell all of the buildup if there is no climax? Its like masterbation without the payoff!

There is a climax, but the story has never been about who has the bigger wand. While Harry is talented, he must try to figure out what V's weaknesses are in order to try and defeat him. Also, he's not given the whole truth about what his purpose is until the end of the final book. That's the reason for the build up.

The series is ulitmately about love, friendship, sacrifice and doing what is right, rather than what is easy.

So in otherwords Harry has to commit suicide. Thanks! Now I don't even want to finish it. It has a Matrix ending allright.

You actually need to read the plot summaries for the last two books for it to make sense. It would take me too long to explain what Horcruxes are and such, so here you go...

Book 6: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I knew the couples that got together would get together (I want to keep my comments vaigue as to not upset people that haven't read the books yet...or watched the movie).
It seems that...crap...I can't say it here...I'll PM you.
