****2015 UPDATE****
Always find a few more tidbits that make me love HP more. Always cry. Not quite the ugly cry that happens during the 7th, but pretty bad.

****2015 UPDATE****
Always find a few more tidbits that make me love HP more. Always cry. Not quite the ugly cry that happens during the 7th, but pretty bad.

A few things I noticed this time
1. Dumbledore's love for knitting and flamboyant clothing :)
2, A few times "the creature in his (Harry's) roars in triumph. This reminded my of Ana's "inner goddess in fifty shades and it made me a little sad. One of the few parts of HP that make me cringe.
3. The image of Dumbledore doing a "perfect breaststroke" in full wizard robes, wand between teeth, gives me such a clear image that it made me chuckle. Then I remembered they were going to get a Horcrux, which is of course, serious business...
4. Harry says (referring to Snape after the terrible thing on the tower) "And he didn't think my mother was worth a damn either because she was Muggle-born...Mudblood he called her." If only Harry knew the truth :/
5. Went through some tough stuff while reading this book and there was a line at the end that oddly struck me. It perfectly summed up what was happening to me. "The idea that anything as normal as a wedding could still exist seemed incredible and yet wonderful..." That in the midst of something bad, it is still possible for life to go on, for you to have moments of happiness...even in the saddest of times. Rowling get it (she is the queen of stories...not to mention of twitter as well!)

****2017 Update****
As always, I noticed a few things this time around :) Will I ever stop? I assume at some point I will...I wonder if I'll stop rereading them then...

1. One of the memories HP and Dumbledore (Dd-that's my new shorthand for him) look at is Dd's when Voldy comes back to ask for the DADA teaching job. A few things...first off Dd has apparently told Voldy BEFORE that love is greater than "his form of magic" (and reiterates it here). Why doesn't he listen?!? Second Dd surprises Voldy when he knows that the Death Eaters are waiting for him back at the Hog's Head (so clearly he does not really want the job...why doesn't the brilliant Dumbledore realize he was HIDING something!) V: "You are as omniscient as ever Dd" D: "No, no, merely friendly with the local barman" How does no one know that Aberforth exists?!? People had to have known Dd had a brother right?!? And don't they look alike? And he seems to be in contact with him pretty regularly (based on things in the book) so seriously, how is this not a thing people know about?!?
2. This one I've thought for awhile...murders split the soul. I assume that it split in half (maybe this is an incorrect assumption) so simple math tells us that Voldy doesn't have 1/7 of his soul left (since at the very least there is no way the soul would "know" he would eventually create 7 Horcruxes...especially since he made HP one accidentally) but rather 1/64 (or 1/128 if you count HP)! So I was wondering if the earlier horcruxes are stronger? Or if Voldy would be more likely to "feel" the older ones as they (possibly?) contain more of him? Clearly they don't, but I'd like an explanation of this at some point.
3. HP runs into Trelawney on his way to Dumbledore right after she has been kicked out of the Room of Requirement and she mentions in her possibly drunken state that her tarot cards show "the lightning struck tower-gravity, disaster coming closer and closer all the time," and even though she is kind of a fraud it turns out she was right :(
4. Snape's face standing over Harry after fight at Hogwarts was "suffuse with hatred just as it had been before he cursed Dumbledore"...poor Snape...he did not want to do it but did what Dumbledore asked of him...and he hated Dd and himself for it :( I understand his anger at HP calling him coward. ...more "

“In modern times, the sisters have largely disappeared from the collective consciousness, but the idea of Fate hasn't. Why do we still believe? Does it make tragedy more bearable to believe that we ourselves had no hand in it, that we couldn't have prevented it? It was always ever thus.”
― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star
