caffeineI finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
It is clear that another book was intended. Many things were intentionally left open. Rowling is a decent writer, but she tends to leave a few too many loose ends. HBP is supposed to have some things that lead to the next one. But at the end of Order of the Phoenix, there was one glaring item that should have been resolved, and it bothered me the entire way through HBP.
Umbridge directed the Dementors to attack Harry outside of school. This was established in the presence of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. Truth potion and Legimancy have both been used to get the truth. Yet she is still in the Ministry, shouldn't she be in Azkaban?
Also, I do hope she reveals how Snape convinced Dumbledore he could be trusted.

Date: 2007-03-17 04:24 pm (UTC)I think the whole Snape issue will be resolved in HP7. It has to be, really, given the ending to HBP.
I plan to start re-reading all of HP as soon as I finish A Tale of Two Cities. Which I intend to do today. As soon as I get off the interwebs. Maybe.
