constance | Oh man oh man.

I remember how the last book affected me--how tortuous and torturous it was for me, and how badly I felt at the unresolved ending, how beaten and grieving. I will save an in-depth analysis for HBP until later (if I ever get around to writing one when everyone is pretty much covering the things I'm feeling and thinking); I worked a sixteen hour day yesterday and then read for most of the night and spent ages on the phone analyzing it and now it is after midnight and I think I am not at my articulate best. But I will say this, that right now, I feel better after reading than I did after OotP. I'm overinvested, of course. I'm grieving, of course. But the grief is cleaner this time.

I feel better.

I loved this book. I keep loving them more and more. I keep wanting more and more.

And with at least two years in front of me and a list of plotlines to wrap up as long as my arm, I keep thinking that like Harry, I just may be ready for anything JKR has to throw my way next.

Oh, yeah, and amidst the talk of jossed fics, I'm feeling pretty chuffed about this. It was completely accidental. But it is almost canon, now.
