The Deathly Hallows Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

...I'm sure they can like, cut to them flying outside or something. I'm not sure that's going to be the most difficult part of turning the book into a movie.

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

Of course not, they can have them transform and cut to them outside about to take off.

Remus. He had a baby. Then he died. That's not nice. That's not nice at all. I feel sad and miserable.

Harry was more upset about Dobby. Harry should die.

Same feelings. It might have been better if he had a baby with Sirius... and then they died together.

[idiotj]

Or not died at all. Or actually *died* instead of getting a pussy whimp out offscreen death.

I like how he wasn't with Tonks in the afterlife.

I miss Remus. Remus should not have died. He needed to raise Teddy Remus Lupin. And have his own book series. And...and...and...show baby pictures and...WHY. THERE IS NO GOD. ;-;

[Amanda]

Yeah. that got me pissed. All I have to go on is fanfiction versions of how he died.

[idiotj]

I bet Tonks and Remus were the two deaths JKR cried about, and she was crying too hard at the mere thought of killing them to go into detail.

[Amanda]

Yeah...I was sort of immune to crying with this book, because I was expecting something terrible before it came out. I kinda knew it would be Remus. I kept letting out gasping sobs as I read any death scene. Hedwig and Dobby came as a suprise to me, and they really got me.

[Dear Dairy]

OK, that Teddy Lupin name really bothers me. Does it remind anyone else of Teddy Ruxpin?

Heh.

But yeah. Teddy was a distinctively Un-Wizardly name.

[Dear Dairy]

Maybe Teddy became a toy werebear!

[idiotj]

They named him after Tonks's muggle dad.

[Jack]

I thought Remus would die, but I was not sure about Tonks. The thing that gave it away for me, was, when Remus named Harry the godfather. I knew then it was the end of Remus. But I hated the way she killed off Tonks and Remus so nonchalantly. He just walks past their bodies? Come on. Maybe this was because she was so sad? I would like to think so.

[Triangle Eyes]

I cried when I read that Dobby died.

EDIT: Fred was saddening, too. Tonks and Lupin weren't a big deal, because it was just like "Tonks and Lupin lay there next to Fred sleeping under the ceiling of the great hall" or something like that. If things were more drawn out with them, like Dobby, it would have been sadder.

[alyssa]

I think that the death of Dobby was the saddest. Harry had such an attachment to Dobby, and then Dobby dies. I'm glad he dies doing something so brave, though.

The epilogue was interesting. In a good way of course.
