Harry Potter and the Last Book (Now with Discussion of Books 1-6!!)

I can't wait for the last book, but I'm not even going to try and predict what happens, except for the blindingly obvious, of course! I've been fooled too many times by J.K Rowling...

I really enjoyed the last movie, much more than I thought I would - I thought it would seem too rushed, with the amount of material that had to be left out. Here's hoping they'll do a similarly good (or better!) job on the fifth one!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

Technically, we were never told the limits of the Unbreakable Vow. I mean, how long would Snape have gotten to kill him? And at that time, couldn't he just be like, "Oh, I haven't got around to it yet"? And the "task" was never stated explicitly, while Narcissa was referring to killing Dumbledore, Snape might have been thinking of something else. (I know its not likely, I'm just trying to point out that so much was implicitly understood about the Unbreakable Vow!)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That was the point, he was supposed to fail and be killed by Dumbledore/The Order to attone for Lucius's mistake in the previous book. It was Voldemort's revenge, that's why Draco was selected for the task, and thats why Narcissa was so upset about it and asked Snape for help. Snape told Narcissa that the Dark Lord was indeed angry at Lucius, and that he probably did intend for Snape to complete the task in the end, but was determined that Draco should try.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
