Re: Favorite one yet!

So it's safe to give away parts of the story now?

Okay then...first thing: The thestrals. It's odd that he only started seeing them this year, as he had seen his parents killed when he was a kid. Obviously the death referred to is Cedric's, but Harry saw the exact same thing in both cases: Not the actual death, but a flash of green light and a dead body falling. Quite an inconsistency there.

The battle at the end: It seemed to drag on forever, and Rowling seemed to have a really tough time coming up with synonyms for "jet of light" and gave up, using the same phrase some 50 times.

There's more, I just can't think of it right now, and I don't want to read the book again.
