So, done OotP...

[schmevil]

Right.

Have read OotP. Point me to the good discussions and essays, please. *snaps fingers*

After being spoiled FIVE TIMES while reading lj and FAP, I finally gave up and went offline until I'd finished reading the book, and have missed out on much of the immediate post-OotP talk. I'm not even talking about minor spoilers, but things that are crucial to OotP and the rest of the series, right out there in big black letters. My favourite spoiler was in Professor McGonagall's, delivered by someone who should have known better. But enough of my whining. ^_-

I only just finished the book about twenty minutes ago, and I'm not ready for any deep analysis, but I'm sure it's on its way. If you corner me on AIM you can watch me squee. And then squee some more. I have no shame.
