The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

His father and mother have been dead for the whole series, so although it's touching that they're there to support him (and have really always been a presence in the books, like Philosopher's Stone and Goblet of Fire), it's Sirius and Remus who just kill me. My poor guys.
Sirius being there ripped me open. (Possibly because I was still in denial that he was dead.)
Yeah, that's the bit that had me sobbing uncontrollably.
I started crying as soon as he whispered to the Snitch, "I am about to die." Telling his family to "Stay with me," and having them around him as a virtual Patronus just kept the tears flowing.
And then the mice ate the ropes!
I just re-read this part.
And then the mice ate the ropes!
and now I'm laughing through my tears.
I don't get it.
It's an Aslan (of Narnia) reference.
Ooooh, right.
The moment Dumbledore told Harry that it was the fact that he died willingly that was key I knew it was only a matter of time before someone said Harry pulled an Aslan.
