I'm now relistening to POA and Dobby has just confessed to Harry about making him miss the train to school, necessitating the disastrous flying of the Ford Anglia. Ironed hands! Oh my. Poor wibble hero.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Dobby always annoyed me. Supercilious little sycophant.
I kind of found myself liking Kreacher in the end.

That's the thing, though. I was totally annoyed by Dobby too, but his death still hit me hard.

Me too.

I was annoyed with movie Dobby, but always liked him in the books. I also really liked Kreacher by the end. Loved that he was in the fight at the end on the right side!

Once it was proved to Kreacher that Master Sirius was a worthy master, he was happy.

I got the impression he wasn't reading at all (and the next time he comes to post, he'll have read that part anyway), but okay.

Just to be sure, it's probably worth being circumspect. Particularly since we're all enjoying a vicarious re-read through Gud's synopses.

move out and draw fire
I like the way Gud is thinking about the book as he reads it. Maybe that's the benefit of an audiobook, or doing it in stages rather than one fell swoop, but I think it's just a difference between him and me. I sat back for the ride, so I'm enjoying it SO MUCH when Gud wonders about the Horcruxes or the significance of something.
It's better than if I re-read it myself.

Coding and Sleeping
Here lies Dobby. A free Elf. I didn't have a real strong attachment to the character, but that was still awfully sad. Maybe because he had a aura of innocence about him. He wasn't part of the war, just helping out of loyalty.
Harry has made the connection with Bellatrix's vault and asked Griphook to help break into Gringotts. Nothing really shocking there.
The interview with Ollivander was more interesting. I was thinking that Ollivander was going to be able to fix Harry's wand since they just found and rescued him, it felt like a cog snapping into place when they came across Ollivander in Malfoy manor. The whole wand ownership thing is sorta confusing, there hasn't been any hint of all that before. Well, the wand chooses the wizard stuff isn't new, but the changing of ownership was. Yanking a wand out of somebody's hand seems a pretty low bar for changing ownership. If disarming with a spell counts, then wands have been changing ownership all over the place.
I left off with Harry and Ollivander talking about the Elder wand.
