I’m definitely not a speed reader, as I have just finished the first 10 chapters. I looked outside and saw that it was already light there (it’s 5:30 AM), so I’m not going very fast. The good news is that I’m still awake and feeling OK and not tired.
Anyhow, what an action packed story! Where to begin? The whole bit at the Burrow seemed to drag on a bit and I found it rather weird that Hermione just managed to accio books out of Dumbledore’s office, but hey, I’ll take it for granted. I do find all the different gossip about Dumbledore’s past pretty fascinating and I haven’t got a clue how this will play out. I was pleased when they left the Burrow, as I really wanted the story to go on. The Ministry has fallen already! Wow, Scrimgeour’s is like the third, no fourth death so far (also counting the Muggle Studies professor). Kreacher’s story so far is very similar to what many people expected. I wonder if Dobby, as he was Lucius’ house elf, had any trips with Voldy as well.
Interesting tidbits: Krum is back, Luna’s father and the Grindelwald sign, Lily’s letter and Harry’s picture and the ‘fight’ in the Muggle pub. Hermione certainly did her studying during the summer. It probably helps that she can do magic by now. Also, what she did to her parents, you really feel sorry for them, don’t you!
The will of DD isn’t making much sense right now, though I don’t doubt that the items he provided will play out to be pivotal to the rest of the plot. I wonder when they’ll be getting the Sword. I think DD gave it to Harry for safekeeping. Perhaps DD suspected that Voldemort would turn it in a Horcrux the moment he takes over Hogwarts?
OK, enough said, let’s go to the next 5 chapters before its noon!
