Mood: Feeling odd, confused and having a bad taste in her mouth

I got the 6th HP-book (The Half-Blood Prince) out of the local library about half a week after it had been published as the first to borrow it and finished it in 3 evenings. (I`m a slow reader, especially when readyng something not in my native language.) I must say I got a not so niceafter taste in my mout from that book. Perhaps I might be wrong, but at least I find it to be the same kind of let-down as the 3rd book was (..And especially its filmatization with the kids jumping around in the school in top fashion clothes when they`re supposed to wear their "uniforms"!)

If you haven`t read the book yet and don`t want the surprise get ruined, please stop now. I`m going to bark the story now. And obviously that will lead to that I must reveal some things from the book.

First of all, I found the Snape-twist somewhat unbelievable. After the 5th book`s "explanations" for Snape`s behaviour ("protecting" Harry) seemed like if forgotten/ignored or even washed away and replaced with the evil twists. Feels like last minute change when you change the right test answer to a wrong one, believing/fearing that you`ve mistaken on the first time. I can`t help feeling that the editors & publishers have been demanding certain major changes to ensure the maximum sales (That nuance was already seeable in 5th book.) although the author publisher & hardest fans probably denies everything and prepares to shoot and sue me for spreading such lies. (For those people, check the Blue Ribbon on the bottom of the page - I support free speech! An I have constitution law based right to say my opinions about things I want to talk. No offence meant.)

Another thing thing that leaves abad taste in my mouth about the book was the death of Dumbledore. Unnecessary! Pointless! The only meaning I can figure out was to release Harry to run after Voldemort and get himself killed. J.K. Rowling says she`s already written the last chapter which shall end the whole 7 book long Harry Potter -serie. I don`t know now yet what it is about but the odds are against Harry. Actually I expect him to die, even somewhat wish for that. Life sucks you know, and it certainly ain`t fair. But how a schoolboy can time after time beat a widely experienced and skilled wizard who`s gotten more experience and certainly has no sence of mercy, nor he doesn`t hesitate even to kill somebody. Surely Harry`s death would be just 1 death among all those he`s done, perhaps the grand final of his "career". Makes me kinda wish I would start to read Lady Foxfire`s HP tortures. "Harry Potter vs Voldemort" by Thanoodles shall speak for my feeligh pretty much.

Good thing I decided not to buy the book. Would be just waste of my .
