(not that I'm not paranoid about becoming over-Potter-y, thank you very much ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

26-ish hours to go (before leaving for the bookstore), and one book left. I think I've got it covered, though I'm thinking about going and watching some TV for awhile... or maybe a little Jewel Quest...
Anyway, even though angsty, emo Harry almost pushed me over the edge, I took solace in the other characters. I'm quite growing to like Lupin. You just want to give the poor, tired guy a hug, don't you? And I can't say I'd be too bothered by a guy that occasionally turned into a dog, so long as he wasn't trying to kill me. At least then I'd have control of the TV remote... ;)
I never felt too bad about Sirius dying, to be honest. He was, actually, a bit of a prat. Almost as angsty and emo as Harry. Always whining, whining, whining. So tired of it.
I have to wonder if there's a bit of a message in the book, though. Now, don't look at me like I've taken too much cold medication, though maybe I have (Hello, purple hippo! Lovely tutu you have on...). But if they had just told Harry in the first place, a lot of horrid things wouldn't have happened. I get so tired of people 'protecting children' - children are tough, they can handle a lot. More than a lot of adults, in fact. Tell them the truth, people. And stop 'baby-proofing' your house. They'll only do stupid, painful things once, and probably won't get themselves killed if you bother to be a decent parent and watch them.
But that... that is another rant.
On the up side, the worst book to date has been finished (from what I've heard of the last one, my expectations are not high). Onwards and... hey, is that a cookie?
