Moving is a pain.

I bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Saturday afternoon and less than 36 hours later, I was done. Although not bad, it left something to be desired. The main plot elements were predictable. Voldemort died, Harry lived, Harry was a sort of horcrux, the main-main characters lived, and only a couple of the other main characters died. No surprises. Snape ended up being good, and that's what I expected and what most predicted. I was mad that Hedwig died, but I knew about that before I started reading. I thought though that someone was supposed to have magical powers who didn't have them before. I was also hoping for some resolution with Neville and his parents. And I also thought that there was supposed to be an explanation about why Harry's eyes resembling his mother's was significant. Meh. Neville was good though, and I'm glad it ended at Hogwarts. I wasn't a fan of the last chapter. It didn't answer enough questions about everyone and it sounded and flowed like some crap that I would have written.

But anyway, I have awful allergies at the moment. It's still sunny and beautiful here.

I'm looking into buying a new computer because this one is slowly dying.

I was hoping for a little more closure w/ Sirius, I didn't actually think he died in the 5th book....I, however, liked the last chapter...I thought it was sweet :)
