Quite satisfied
Having finished Harry Potter and the Whatever the Heck They Named the Latest One Because I Honestly Can't Remember on Thursday, letting it stew, and tantalizing my family with my fabulous advanced knowledge of what will happen, since though I read it first, they care a whole lot more than I do.
And all I have to say is this: I'm quite satisfied. I didn't think Rowling had it in her to do what she did. I have been thinking it had to come, but that she was too attached to her characters to do it, but she did, and I'm happy. With pretty much everything she did, to all of her characters. I'm not throwing in any spoilers and incurring the wrath of some crazed fan who didn't want to find out yet, but for this: I'm especially impressed that she was able to create sympathy for Malfoy, who until now, has been abysmally too cruel as a preteen to be a good enemy, unless he was insane, which I don't think he was.
Because really, I've always been kind of judgmental about JK Rowling, because she's not nearly as good as my favorite fantasy authors and yet it's she that gets the whole "I never read a book in my life until Harry!" thing. But with her charmingly dark turn (and I say that because dark fantasy has always been my preference), she's taken a direction I really like.
Anyway, we were going to a Pawsox game, but when we got there 40 minutes after they opened the gates, they were sold out of general admission tickets, then we all kind of got in bad moods and people yelled and it was fabulous in a not fun way.
And my friend in MN who is out here right now hasn't contacted any of us about her "hope to see you then," which makes it awkward for us if we have to look her grandparents up online and call them to aske her down. Again.
Milk and cookies doesn't work with chewy cookies. Or cookies that aren't really very flakey.
