A Snape in the Grass
Finished the "Deathly Hallows" yesterday. I read the last sentence as the airplane I was on landed. Naturally I don't want to spoil the book for those who have not read it, but I was happy about one thing. I was right about Snape.I was not right "in specific" but I was right on target in my assessment of his personality and character.
As always, I like the general Harry Potter stories that Joanne Rowling writes, but some of the things that seem to happen by chance in the series make the books seem a bit haphazard or unrealistic to me. This book was no exception. But then, hey, it is a book about magic and witches and wizards!
The general sense of growing up and the overall way she took the series from the viewpoint of children to a more mature viewpoint of young adults was something I liked, and I don't know if she did it on purpose or it just happened that way as a result of the story telling.
Oh, and as usual there were a couple of English phrases I needed to look up.
Later.
