I will reveal nothing about the outcome of Harry Potter. I have to say that hands down Ron Weasley delivers the best lines of the book. I qualify that be adding that I like sarcastic and a bit irreverent humor. But I thought I was going to lose it during a scene with Mrs. Weasley when she made an impassioned statement similar to Sigourney Weaver in "Aliens 2". If you are a sci-fi fan that scene from "Aliens 2" will probably stand out to you. Anyway, J.K. Rowlings use of imagery helps this book flow from situation to situation and taking us along with our hands clasped tightly as if holding onto Harry's robe as he disapparates. Though the book is somber in nature Rowling throws in enough light hearted moments that act like their own patronus keeping the dementors at bay. I find that Rowling is a wonderful writer of human nature and allows those with flawed characters, **warts and all, find those moments of heroism and chose to act. The words sacrifice, nobility, humility, friendship and love come to mind when I think underlying threads that tie these characters together and allow Rowling to weave such a wonderful tapestry of characters. I recommend this book!
**I had to do that!

Which line of Ron's would you say was the best one of the book? Personally, I thought the best line came from one of the Weasley Twins.
You know, I've always watched the movies, I think I've read one book, the first one. and with this new one, now I'm dying to go out and buy the others, so I can read this one!
Now that you're finished I can start reading. A friend at work is itching to discuss it with someone who's finished it.
