Oh god. Have just finished OotP. I am now an emotional basketcase. I don't think I've ever yelled, cried, screamed and cried some more over a book like I did with this one. I've never encountered a fictional character that I hated quite as much as I hate one in this book. Never have I want a character to die in as many painful ways as possible.
I can't believe JKR did this to us. It's so bleak. I just feel like I've been beaten up. Alyssa left to go home and cry for the night. Perhaps tomorrow we will feel better. I don't want to say anything, I'm trying to be good. I can't cut spoilers.
There are scenes that I will never forget. One in particular that will haunt me. I can't believe children will read this book. I wasn't emotionally ready for it and I'm 26; Lord knows how a 9 year old will react. I'll warn parents too. I'll tell them flat out that I was upset by it. I don't know what to think. Book 6? Not even sure I want to go there. There are still to many characters that I love for her to kill. And yeah she kills one and yeah it makes a hell of a bigger impact than Cedric Diggory.
I think I'll just go read some of that new Bryson book. It's all scientific adn completely without emotions. That's what I need.
