Normally, I wait for the full back and forth commute, but damn. Fred? That just isn't right, he's one of the twins. The Percy reunion was the setup, it wasn't supposed to be Fred. Some other stuff happened to, whatever.

I had to get out my book last night to read what was going to happen right after Gud left off yesterday and yeah...
There's lots of fighting, charging desks, flying crystal balls, and good old stunning spells. The spiders charge in and retreat with Hagrid in their midst. I don't think that's the end of Hagrid, but then I never thought one of the twins would buy it either. There are giants, then dementors, and Luna saves the day. I like how calmly she gets Harry to be able to use his patronus again.
They take the tunnel to the shack after Ron is reminded to use magic by Hermione. A nice little allusion to book 1. At the end of the tunnel are Voldemort and Snape. I left off after Snape is killed and Voldemort leaves the shack. Snape being killed isn't much of a shock since I never expected him to make it. I was sort of expecting Snape to be kill after finally betraying Voldemort. I wonder if this could mean that we never really find out which side Snape was on. That would be kinda cool actually. There is some more wand stuff, killing the previous owner does seem to follow the legend of the elder wand. I could see that simply yanking it out of somebody's hand is too low a bar for the legendary wand. Maybe it's all legend though, it would be sort of ironic if the elder wand was just a regular wand after all.

Oh, man. You really are at the point in the book where, no matter where you stop, things'll look different a few pages later, aren't you?
