Yes, I liked that as well. I also liked Mrs. Weasely offering Fleur the tiara after she got angry that anyone would think that she wouldn't marry Bill after he was attacked.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's another good example of JK's recurring theme that people aren't always what they seem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This shirt is just mean.

If I had seen someone wearing that shirt before I finished the book, I would have assaulted them.

That is just mean!

For a while I thought that the Wesley family tiara was going to be the diadem.

Today is JK Rowling's birthday.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This shirt is just mean.

Is it any meaner than this shirt?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think they're both kind of shitty.

Yes, because that's stuff that anyone would know by now. And it's not the denoument of a series. Plus, it's kind of funny, all of the reveals.

My housemate just bought that recently. I wonder if he wore it at Comic-Con.
