I just finished listening to the Order of the Phoenix. I think I cried even more this time than when I read it. Just something about hearing about the death makes it feel a little more final. And all of Harry's mouring at the end just brought me to tears constantly. I still don't think it's the last we'll see of the character... but when Lupin's voice cracked, it just KILLED me *sob*
Harry's really grown up so much in this book- that kindness to Luna at the end really gets to me now... especially after finding more out about Snape.
*sigh* What a sad book. I'm still crying. Both happy and sad tears, you know? I was really unsure about the book the first time I read it. Lots of people still think it's not well written and all that... but after the second "read" I'm much more taken by it. Sad, but still enjoyed it. *sniffles* Good book.
I think I'm going to set Jim to start at the beginning of the series again in a little bit, and relisten to it in order, one after the other. I learned a lot about GoF doing that... I dunno... Honestly, I still sob terribly about Cedric- this is exponentially worse. *sigh* I wish I could write something that touches people this way one day. I mean, I made my teachers cry over a passage from my novel... but as that was years ago and the damn thing probably won't ever be finished or published, that isn't saying very much. Ah well. *sigh* Off to contemplate Remus/Severus again.
