even though i finished reading the book on sunday, i still think about how much impact the death had on me. i still have a few tears here and there when thinking about it. it is like when i first saw star wars episode 3 revenge of the sith, i cried and cried as soon as anakin became darth vader. it really hurt. before the phantom menace came out, i had anticipated the arrival of the prequels. i had even liked the fact that this 'anakin' became darth. i had no happiness inside for anakin. i barely knew who he was! but then, when i saw the phantom menace, he started to grow on me. but just barely. then when i saw attack of the clones, he grew on me even more. and then, revenge of the sith. i had come to know who anakin was. and it was as if that wonderful young jedi would never live again(even though he always did, for he came back to the right side in return of the jedi). and then there was padme. i cried even more when she passed. i still cry for her and anakin even now. so when i learned who died in harry potter, it was just the same. i didnt really care for the person in the first book. but ended up caring for them in the end. (sigh) i still can not believe that the person is dead. i think they will come back in the last book. but, thats just my thought.

i have just finished reading harry potter and the half-blood prince.it is...like wow.i just can't explain it in words.j.k. rowling really out did herself this time.but now i am left so many questions, it is unbelievable.i cried at the funeral at the end.i am also left with a bit of pity for draco malfoy. but enormous hatred for a certain person.then there was the relationships that just kept popping up everywhere.so much drama!

i am now reading harry potter and the half-blood prince.i am on chapter 23.everyone is sleeping.i am the only one awake; besides the turtles.whenever i hear a noise, see a shadow, or turn a corner, i think that lord voldemort is going to jump out and attack me.i think i've been reading too much.oh well, it is the best harry potter book yet.my aunt says that it is depressing at the end.i still have no idea who the half-blood prince is.but i do know who dies and who kills that person.it is a little worse than when sirius died.i now despise the character who is the murderer.it is, shockingly enough,not the dark lord himself who is the murderer, but someone we least expect.i must return to reading.
