That book

[vin_petrol]

In a complete reverse of what you're probably seeing elsewhere:

To save me the bother of reading it, can someone please completely spoil that Harry Potter book for me?

EDIT: in one sentence? :-)
EDIT2: Job done - thanks denerose.

Well, this is pretty comprehensive.

[vin_petrol]

Erk, that's rather long. Perhaps I should re-phrase my question...

[fjm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I feel no great need to read it now.

I'll happily burn it for you :-)



Oh, you mean spoil as in tell you what happens.

[vin_petrol]

Oooh, you meaning! You knew very well what I meant :-P

I take it you can't tell me what happens then?

[blondelass.livejournal.com]

There's a bunch of hobbits wizards, they fight Saraumand Voldemort, Gollum Dobby dies and..., well you get the idea, good triumphs over evil etc etc...

*laughs* that's as bad as when I 'spoilt' a Doctor Who episode for someone by telling him that "in the end, the Doctor doesn't die, and defeats the enemy".

Ooh, thanks, I was just looking through flist for good spoilers and they're all merely hints!

Snape dies but is redeemed as actually Dumbledore TOLD him to kill him so it was ok - others die and/or are maimed but none of the main three esspecially during final battle at school - Harry goes willingly to his death (being, as everyone guessed, the last Horcrux) but is saved by some plot twisting - main three live happily ever after, Harry + Ginny have kids etc la.

Good enough?

[vin_petrol]

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for. No need to read it now :-)

I don't understand.

It took 4 hours to read. It's quite entertaining.

It's like the comments I saw on the BBC website. "I lost interest after the second book, give me Lord of the Rings any day" - does this person only have capacity for one story, or something?

I liked it. It wasn't as much of a "oh god must finish this series" book as I'd expected.

I don't understand.

Too many books. Too little time. I read the first three *before* I had a child [utter time sink] in my life, so I'm curious about how the story ended, but not curious enough to read the remaining four books. Book reading *now* is far more rationed for me compared to three years ago. Four hours is four hours I could be reading something else, which is far more likely to be my first love: hard SF.

Couldn't've put it better myself!

Harry the last horcrux.

I thought it would turn out to be Snape.

The Fellowship of the Deathly Hallows undertakes a difficult quest while Darth Severus is left in charge of Hogwarts and murdered by Voldemort at the last minute, leaving instructions for Harry to sacrifice himself, which he does, only to be returned by Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time.

*narrows eyes*

I'm not entirely convinced this is true :-P

[inbetween-girl.livejournal.com]

It's absolutely 100% true, if totally unfair.

Harry, Ron & Hermione have to track down the Horcruxes, but also get caught up searching for the Deathly Hallows: ancient legendary magical objects. Snape is made headmaster of Hogwarts when Voldemort takes the Ministry. Voldemort kills him in order to "win" the wand he took from Dumbledore when he killed him. As he dies he gives Harry a bottle of pensieve memories revealing his love for Harry's mother, his loyalty to Dumbledore and the fact that Dumbledore ordered him both to kill him, and to swear he will do whatever in his power to protect the students of Hogwarts. Harry goes willingly to his death, allows Voldemort to kill him but is sent back into life by Dumbledore, and finally finishes Voldemort off in a battle reminiscent of the one in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Loads of people die but sadly there is no-one around to bring them back to life. :(
