Okay, this is me doing damage repair. If the post above doesn't seem like Artemis's norm, that's because it's not. She was logged on my computer yesterday and forgot to log off so I accidently posted for her.

If you people are asking why I didn't continue to wreak havoc in Arti's name, well I'm sure if any of you got the wonderful oppertunity you would. But you happen to have a computer to hide behind, where as she knows where I live. And Arti pissed is a very very scary thing.
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

I can imagine. But I liked the post. I didn't want Fred to die. He was one of my favorite characters.

But, as for Lupin, I think that she felt the need to kill off the last of the special threesome (foursome, if you feel the need to count Wormtail), and also to kill off Ted's parents, so Harry could have a special bond.
Look, Queezle.

I can see what your saying via the foursome. And I did liked the way she ended up killing wormtail. But it just felt to me like she added it on the end. All this stuff is going on and, oh, by the way tonks and lupin are dead.

Well, she also probably thought that she needed more sacrifice so that Harry could suffer more. He needed a lot of sacrifice that night.

All these deaths and yet Harry didn't die. I know I've said that I wished he would, but I have to admit when I thought he was going to die, I was sad. Just goes to show. Though I was mostly sad about Dumbledore betraying him, not about him actually dying.

Yes. I was so disappointed that he had to do a Jesus...

Do that again Athy, and I will be forced to harm you.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

I find him annoying. Nothing distinctly wrong with him, but I prefered the other minor characters. Like Fred, Ginny, Lupin, Luna etc. I would have preffered him dying to all the other people. Especially Dobby. Post also wanted him to die, but that was out of honest dislike.

Yah, well I do too. I didn't think I did, but I guess he grew on me. Sides its not the young Harrys fault that he turned into such a grouchy teen who can't hold down a girlfriend.

He only had two.
But yeah, the minor characters were pretty cool too.

I actually liked Harry. He reminds me of one of my best friends, so you know, it's kind of a loyalty there.

After Nat, Harry's death would have been one too many.

Need I point out the major babymaking shown in the crapilogue?
