Apparently everyone else considers fleeing for their lives in the manner of headless chickens, alternative mindless bitching/glorifying or thinking that running a radio program is totally what needs to be done to win a war.
And the people who applaud Harry for giving Remus the much needed smack down!
The deaths in this book just made my eyes roll. I was completely unmoved by every one. The ones that were supposedly the most tear-jerking just made me rub my eyes in despair. Dobby and Hedwig were pointless and mostly in there just for the melodrama. I mean, at least if it had SERVED A PURPOSE I wouldn't be so disgusted, but their deaths served even less than shooting a horse would in a western, and apparently that is off limits.
Don't even get me started on Peter's death. I'm sure you commiserate with me there. I wasn't looking for the kind of redemption that would have pleased me - apparently Rowling's Suethors were channeling her with the Omg He Was Born Pointless Ugly and Teh Ebil!1111!! but I was at least looking for some pay dirt with the wizard's debt and the silver hand. UGH.
I'm sure Rowling felt that this squabble before the birth of their child was meant to make the happiness around Teddy's birth and then the eventual death *~*dramatic*~* and sob-worthy, but what with the butchering of the characters and the off-screen death, I just turned the page.
That's even less than what I did for Dumbles' death, and Remus was my favorite character.
