lol, I understand I could care less who likes him either. I just think the stories are a fantastical read.
Pfft, I read the summary on Wikipedia. It was pretty comprehensive. Voldemort kills Snape, who only killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore told him to. Voldemort accidentally kills himself. Harry marries Ginny, Ron marries Hermione, they all have kids, and the book ends thirty years later with them sending their kids off to Hogwarts for the first time. Saved $45. Oh, and if you're planning on reading the book, don't read the above.
HA!!!! i knew it! ok, so maybe i was wrong about harry dying, but now that I know I was right about Snape, I do want to read the book!
Harry does die, except he comes back to life because he can't die while Voldemort is still alive... or something. Here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_potter_7 Hmm... someone's streamlined it a lot since yesterday morning. I was pretty impressed that there was a full summary of it written out on there about 10 hours after the book was released. Fast readers.
my aunt who happens to be a catholic nun, has read every harry potter book, and had this one on pre-order. she didnt wait in line or anything, but.... she is not one of those hardcore catholics who believe that harry potter is the devil book. its just fantasy.
