I just finished reading Deathly Hallows for the second time.
*wibbles*
It was definitely less stressful reading it the second time, cause I wasn't reading it at light-speed. Dad doesn't understand why I read it so fast the first time.
Me: I wanted to find out what happened!
Dad: So just flip to the back and read the end first.
Me: *&*#!^%![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

So, yeah.
Plus there were some things the first time that didn't completely make sense, mostly having to do with the Elder Wand and it's succession from Dumbledore to Draco to Harry, which reminds me, how did Dumbledore win it from Grindelwald in the duel in the first place if it was an unbeatable wand?. But all in all it was very enjoyable, albeit still very, very sad, and I can't wait for JKR to write that encyclopedia she mentioned. Plus the movies -- argh. Please, nice movie people, don't screw up the last two movies!
Oh, and the ship aspect. Bwaha.ha.ha.ha.
