First off, I love your idea of how book seven will go down. It'd be a nice way to bring things full-circle, by having Ron and Hermione contribute their respective skils and intellects to helping Harry make it to the final battle. ^^
Now, I wasn't a big fan of HBP when I read it. Didn't hate it or anything, but the abundance of romance kind of turned me off (the introduction of the Horcruxes, however, went a way to compensate for that, as did Fleur's moment in the infirmary ^^). That said, your review gave me something to think on in terms of one of my least favorite parts of HBP: Ginny and the Harry/Ginny ship. I didn't really like her and how uber she had become, but you brought up some very good points on the leaving scene with Harry that helps me go a little easier on her. Still can't find the love for the Chest Monster of Lust, but the previously tiresome goodbye scene is now a little sweeter. ^^
Nothing, however, has endeared me to Remus/Tonks so far, so there's at least one part of the book that I still dislike. :/
RE: Trailers
TUWHEHRPPTHWEPR!!! Those trailers were absolutely amazing. ^_____^ ::so cannot wait to see Spiderman 3 now:: They're quite ambitious, trying to fit all that plot into one movie (Venom suit, Sandman -- who is infinitely cooler than I thought he would be, ActivelyVengeful!Harry, Crazyfied!Peter, etc.). I'm sorta wondering how Gwen Stacy is going to fit into all this...I heard that she was appearing in this movie as Eddie Brock's girlfriend (it's bad that I have a mild crush on movie!EB, isn't it? It's bad that I'm already entertaining Eddie/Peter plot bunnies, isn't it? Yes, it is...), but beyond that...
The second Heroes trailer is great (wish I knew what music they were playing in the background) and I swear I sat there for a few minutes, just playing it back, trying to figure out who the person lying in the pool of blood was, or why Mohinder was tearfully banging against a car door, or who the Indian woman he was talking to was, or whether the girl Hiro is talking to has superpowers, or why Eden is so upset at the beginning of the trailer and so pensive later on, or why...
Yeeeeaaaah...this show has officially eaten my brain. -_-;
Sorry for the long reply! ::fades back into the land of obscurity::
