- There is no point apportioning blame. What is done is done
- "You know about the plan?"
- Bellatrix's mouth fell open.
- "The misty fug" typo fog p42 ch3
- Dumbledore's black and shrivelled hand
- But the evidence so far suggests that that would be optimistic to the point of foolishness.
- Madam Rosmerta's finest oak-matured mead
- His godfather's dead? Vernon said loudly
- Bellatrix Lestrange inherit the house??!
- Harry suspects Dumbledore was enjoying himself
- Using Kreacher as a test of ownership
- "You did not do as I asked. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands."
- I do not think you need worry about being attacked tonight...You are with me.
- Voldemort using Occlumency against Harry
- Why does Harry need to say "Hermione Granger told me" - is there more than 1 Hermione?
- Harry understood he was not being snubbed, and that he had permission to keep asking questions
- Dumbledore's favourite flavour of jam is raspberry
- Slughorn collects people and talent
- "If it is..I'll make sure I take as many Death Eaters with me as I can, and Voldemort too if I can manage it"
- Slughorn taught Mr and Mrs Weasley and Lily Potter

- Harry scowled at Ginny being with Dean
- Tom Riddle was greedy, evil and exploitive even as a kid

- Voldemort a solo operator, wouldn't rely on philosopher's stone
- Morfin's and Marvalo's Shack - Marvalo's ring
- Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherin's locket, the diary
- Nagini - so when he killed the Keeper of his father's house in Goblet of fire he made a horcrux?
- Lucius Malfoy tried to use the horcrux for his own gain (sabotage Weasleys and Dumbledore) and to rid himself of incriminating evidence
- By attempting to kill Harry, Voldemort singled out Harry and gave him the tools for the job - he didn't hear the whole prophecy and did not realise he would be advancing the prophecy by his own v actions of attacking Harry, who he perceived to be a threat
- Difference between being dragged into the arena vs walking into the arena with your head held high
- Lavender red eyed and screaming at Ron

- Hermione was beaming
- Ron's jerk of the head - well if you must
- Harry giving them his Felix Felicis
- Your enemy must weaken himself to enter

- Tonks and Lupin
- Hagrid's views valued
- Ginny understood Harry
- Can't believe (again) that Dumbledore died..was it really the only way? Was it the craziest MVP play for Snape's cover?
- This is a book full of emotions - Ginny and Harry finding each other the long way; Hermione and Ron; and Dumbledore's death
- I like it quite a lot but I suppose it feels like there is no closure after the dramatic shock of Snape killing Dumbledore and that puts a sour taste in the mouth
- Maybe ranks after Prisoner of Azkaban
- Maybe a 4.7/5
This used to be a site dedicated to Board, Card and Party Game reviews but, in the end, I realised that there are plenty of other things to talk about =)
