The Dementors had revolted at some point, I think, at least by the beginning of book 6 when they were flying around and breeding (ew). Given Dumbledore's objections to them, I don't think the new Ministry would put them back in control of the prison. It's inhumane.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Yes, I completely agree with you! Interesting. I wonder what they would do instead.

It wasn't until I reread the last few chapters last night that it sunk in for me why Voldemort was unable to kill or enact lasting spells on any of the good guys after Harry "died." Harry's act of sacrifice, even though it wasn't the ultimate one, gave the same protection to his friends that his mother's sacrifice did for him.

Heh. There were a bunch of news stories about how some rabbis in Israel were upset that the release was on a Saturday, thus leading a bunch of stores that normally close on the Sabbath to remain open. One of the Jewish blogs gave a sample of headlines for these stories (Reuters: "Harry Potter's Israel launch pits wizard vs. rabbis." CNN: "Will Harry Potter's magic work in Israel?" PressTV Iran: "Harry Potter angers Zionist regime.") and is having a contest for "Come on, we can think of funnier headlines than that." [link]

Yeah. I registered for it, but no approval yet and I want to read Chapter 11.5 of Midnight Confessions.

Heh.
I like that adult-rated fanfic site because they really don't have any (or at least, very little) slashfic, but their adult fanfic is usually pretty well-written for all that it is pervy.
