Finished book 6 this morning

[exatron]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was pretty good and made me wish I were still working at the library.

Since most people aren't done with the book, spoilers ahoy...

I thought Dumbledore was going to die, so that didn't shock me.

There's more to Snape than we're being told.

My favorite characters are still Bill, Fred, and George.

R.A.B. == Regulus Black

Draco isn't so bad. He's just a kid who got caught up in some nasty things.

I feel sorry for Bill. His face got messed up by a werewolf, but he didn't get any of their abilities.

Fred and George really do need to pick their clients more carefully.

What will Mrs. Weasley say when she finds out that Harry plans to go adventuring instead of returning to Hogwarts, especially if Ron is going with him?

Trelawney's prediction of doom was accurate. Then again, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

A conversation with my sister after we had both read the book:
"So, Harry's leaving school to look for the remaining objects Voldemort split his soul into. What were they called again?"

"I don't quite remember, but the name started with 'whore'."

"So, what you're saying is that he's gone a-whoring."

Replying to your comments, starting with "I thought Dumbledore was going to die...."

Yeah, totally! He had to pop his clogs sooner or later!

I SOOOOO agree, He'll end up helping Harry kill Voldemort in the end, probably dying in the process.

They are awesome, aren't they?

Quite.

Again, I agree, he'll end up repenting and helping Harry, probabl;y after seeing how evil his father actually is.

Bill's the hawt stocky one, isn't he? What a pity..

I can't really remember what that's in connection to.

I guess we'll just have wait and see, she might support them, despite being a worry-wart.

It was pretty vague to begin with, anyway.

HORCRUXES!!!

Rowling's basically been foreshadowing it every time he had to leave Hogwarts.

Helping Harry may also fit his own agenda. It feels like he's playing both sides against each other for his own gain.

They're Weasleys, so they can't help being awesome, especially with the big escape Fred and George pulled off in book 5. The fifth movie had better do that scene justice.

Some people claim it's a red herring, but it does fit one of the theories about the Deathly Hallows. Apparently, there were four hallows in Arthurian legend, representing the four elements- a cup (water), a wand (fire), a sword (air), and a pentacle (earth).

I can also see some friction remaining between them even after Draco repents.

The things I remember most about Bill are that he's a bit of a rebel, was employed as a curse breaker in Egypt, and Mrs. Weasley making comments about his hair. I did get the impression that he was a hottie, however.

Either Harry or Ron told Bill & George that after finding out that Draco bought some of his supplies for the attack from their shop.

Chances are, that's what she'll do, but it may take her a bit to say so.

I know. I just like making fun of Trelawney's predictions since she's always predicting doom.

The name's familiar to me now. I just had trouble remembering it when I first read the book.
