Harry Potter, Part 2

Ok, so I finished reading the latest Harry Potter book this past weekend. I must say, I think JK Rowling's writing style has changed. This book was a much faster read than I thought it would be. It's definitely shorter than The Order of the Phoenix, which is one of my favorites in the series. One of my friends thinks that she's borrowing a lot from The Lord of The Rings and Star Wars (ie. Death Eaters = Nazgul and Wizard's betrayal = Anakin betraying Jedi Council or Senator Palaptine's deception, etc).

Yes, so a main character that has been with the series since the beginning has died. It's not hard to tell who it's going to be once your half way through the book. I'm still holding out hope that somehow this character will be brought back in the final installment of the series, but just like the death of Padme (the nightmares Anakin had) fueled Anakin's desire to go to the "dark side", the death of this character will no doubt fuel Harry's desire to kill Voldemort once and for all.
