Here's More Than 30 Thoughts I had Re-Reading Deathly Hallows

I'll never be okay with Hedwig's death, no matter what.

It sucks that pretty much all of Lupin's relationship with Tonks is just tainted by him being so worried and guilty. Dude deserved real happiness more than most.

Okay, it's so cute that Charlie was Bill's best man. I never really realized it before but I'm here for the oldest Weasley boys' relationship.

Thinking back on the scene in the cave with the horcrux in HBP, it's sad to think that Regulus's dead body is in there with the inferni. Does that mean he also became one?

Godddd. When Ron says he'll tell everyone Hermione is his cousin to protect her, I die inside every single time. Justice for Ronald Bilius Weasley is the hill I will die on.

Speaking of Lupin, this fight he has with Harry about abandoning his family absolutely kills me every time. It should've been in the movies.

The whole thing with them finally treating Kreacher right and him reciprocating, taking care of himself and Grimmauld Place, right before all this garbage, always makes me so sad... I'm so glad he appears again in the battle of Hogwarts, but is it ever specified if he lived or not?

It never really occurred to me before that while they're on the hunt for horcruxes Ron gets to spend all his time with Hermione and get closer to her, but Harry literally had to dump Ginny and just be okay with it. Pretty messed up.

It would've been so interesting to have a snippet of what Hogwarts was like with Ginny, Luna and Neville in there, fighting their asses off.

Communication is the only thing really standing in the way of Ron abandoning Harry and Hermione like he does and it drives me mad. Harry doesn't want her, bro. Hermione doesn't want him. I understand the empty stomach thing but DAMN..

With that said, I've defended him to others a million times because of this stuff and I definitely would again. It's just hard to read.

Okay I totally forgot that the first snitch was forged in Godric's Hollow.

Everything about Harry & Hermione going to Godric's Hollow gets me every time. Him seeing his parent's grave, his old home, the statue of them. Like damn.

And then Harry literally watches Voldy relive killing his parents in vivid detail. I feel like Hermione & Harry going there was the absolute turning point in the book and it was mostly action from then on. Not to mention poor Bathilda. RIP.

I feel like the scene in Malfoy Manor, and Dobby dying after, really acted to solidify how much this wasn't a child's story anymore and how serious and awful Voldy and his followers truly were. Pettigrew dead by his own hand, Hermione tortured and Ron literally SOBBING to get to her, and then Dobby. Just so sad.

Dean Thomas and Lee Jordan are two characters that are in the books a TON more than people realize. It's so frustrating and Dean being with them when they're taken to the manor just reminded me of it.

I agree with Harry, I really don't think that I like Ollivander. In their words, I'd say he's quite a weird bloke.

Shell Cottage seems so dreamy. I don't know how crazy I'd truly be about living so close to the sea, but everything else about it is amazing. It's calming every time I read about them being there.

If the Patil twin's parents were so adamant about taking them out of Hogwarts a year before, why would they have let them go back? They were in the room of requirement when the golden trio show up and that just doesn't seem to fit.

"Oh, are we allowed to say the name now?" Asked Luna with an air of interest, pulling off the invisibility cloak. Luna is just... An absolute masterpiece. *Chef's kiss*

I absolutely LOVE the fact that Oliver Wood came back to fight in the battle of Hogwarts, especially since he had left before the DA was formed, so someone else from the Quidditch team must've let him know.

Okay, I get that it's adorable that Luna married a Scamander, BUT, her and Dean would've also been really cute. They way he calls her for and they're holding hands as they run out of the room of requirement gets to me.

I can't even get sentimental over the Weasleys reuniting with Percy. Too little, too late, dude.

I hate that literally none of the Slytherins choose to stay during the battle and it just doesn't seem quite real to me.

From the moment Fred is present in Deathly Hallows to the second he dies, he's completely on form and it breaks my heart even more.

I tell everyone when I read it the first time I SCREAMED and my mom absolutely panicked and thought I was in trouble.

"And that's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!" Ahh Ronald.

I love that it's so apparent that everything Harry taught the DA is saving their lives during this battle. Stuff it, Umbridge.

I know I should feel sad about Snape dying, and the deep context of it (a man fighting against him dies while appearing to be his follower) is undoubtedly sad. But I don't feel bad for Snape himself and I can't ever find a way to respect him.

When Harry brings his parents, Sirius and Lupin back with the resurrection stone, it's said that both of the latter appear much younger than he ever saw them. Why did the movies have to do us dirty? Lily and James were only 21 when they died and they always looked middle-aged, and we didn't even get to really see Sirius and Lupin in their prime.

I'll never like Lucius but for what Narcissa did, I'm forever grateful. I adore the whole thing about a mother's love saving Harry twice and with how the pure bloods acted, I'm sure Narcissa didn't have much of a choice in marrying Lucius.

It's honestly so wholesome to see that Ron never loses who he is. The fact that he confunded his instructor in the driving test and the whole "it's me, I'm very famous" thing at the end is so Ronald Bilius Weasley it makes me happier than it should.

I literally breathed a sigh of contentment finishing these books again. Here's to another year of HP and the Wizarding World.
