There was so much promise with this concept - I had wagered, early early in the book, that is was indeed, my beloved Severus. This whole book was so steriotypical!!!!!!!!
ANd honestly, i was howlling with rage (and greif) when it was Sev who murdered Dumbledore. the death of any chance of true redemption in Severus was a crushing blow.
Who would have guessed, three 11 year olds were so much smarter than the entire staff of the school to know 5 years before he actually came out and did it that Snape really was " all bad". (and Draco, too!) Wow, so realistic! What are we teaching the kids by letting them know that they SHOULD judge a book by it's cover? The whole storyline feels contrived and cliche. Zombies? Wow - orginal. Actually, Lame and, once again, steriotypical (i think we were also not surprised to see the introduction of vampires in this book either - yawn.)
There are so many LOTR references in this book i lost count - the magic doorway in the cave? The "I must go it alone" concept of Harrys... The whole " purity of heart" crap - and then, in true Hobbit fashion, Rona nd Hermione telling Harry " We choo-choo-choose to go with you, you can't leave us behind." Harry needs to put on his invisibility cloak and see if Samwise (erm, sorry, Ron) follows him or not. Oh yeah - and what's with PROSAIC!Dumbledore -
After watching his Godfather die, and being partly responsible for it, why doesn't Harry display any of the signs of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome? ???????? ??????
So all in all, i will return to the safety of Fanfic, where i can choose my ship, my angst level, and my endings. Maybe i will stopp so low as to just write and read my own, where i am guaranteed the ending i desire. So, i agree with you completely. And who even cares about Tonks/Remus?
