When I finished readin HBP, I was ballin my eyes out and was sooooo gutted that Dumbledore had died. But I was really impressed with the book. With DH, I was just plain disappointed. Felt to me like J.K couldn't wait to finish and just wrote any old toot. Sorry but I can't give her a break. I'm still sooooo angry about Lupin.
Oh, and Teddy, I agree with ya 100% about the only decently written death bein Dobby's. |
In war - thousands of soldiers die. there simply is not time to give a heart felt moment while bullets continue to fly. You have to keep moving.
it is not until it is all over, that you find out what happens to others that you knew.
Dobby's death occurred at a time where 'open warfare' as such - wasn't occurring. There was time for Harry to truly grieve, and have a moment.
I think that given Dobby's funeral, it would be fair to assume that similar ceremonies would have occurred for those who died at Hogwarts.
Maybe JKR did write this exactly the way it turned out. simply because it was different to what the 'theorists had predicted' I don't think necessarily makes it a 'lame Harry Potter book'. It is worthwhile trying to ask, why would she have written this?
re: the tent/camping boredom. In the gulf - so many soldiers just sit around not knowing what else is going on. Not doing anythig - unless an event suddenly occurs nearby for them to respond to. Perhaps she was trying to describe this. the difficulty of being out in the field - but not knowing when the next skirmish will occur. the boredom of waiting, but the difficulties of 'getting along' with each other - knowing you could die any day...
I think she wrote for 'realism' of war time really.
