Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- CAUTION THERE ARE SPOLIERS IN HERE!!!

[mrspunkysmom]

The cloak has been handed down since Ignotus Peverell. The ring or stone had the symbol for the Deathly Hallows on it, which was mistakenly called the Peverell coat of arms by Marvolo Gaunt. That ring had been in the Slytherin family for generations. Probably distant cousins. Or the ring could have been stolen. Yet claiming to the ministry worker that he carried the Peverell coat of arms seemed to indicate that the name was important and indicated that he was a pureblood and of Slytherin's descent.

Interesting.

She has left this open to interpretation. I'm assuming they are related somewhere back there.

What is interesting is that dumbledore could not wear the ring, yet Marvolo Gaunt did. Also Umbridge was not affected by the locket, yet Harry, Ron, and Hermione were.

Just some thoughts.

Dumbledore couldn't wear the ring because of the curse Voldemort had put on it after making it a horcrux. The ring wasn't yet a horcrux when Marvolo had it.

I also think Umbridge was evil enough to not really notice if the locket affected her or not. Harry and Co. are good people so the change the locket made was noticiable.

I'm just annoyed that all my fav. characters were killed...sirius, snape, lupin, fred D: ick. Should have skipped the epilogue all together.

FINALLY got my book on Wednesday and was able to read it. Remind me to never order such a thing online again

Overall, I liked it...but didn't really care for the epilogue, it left too much unanswered. First of all I hated the names for Harry's kids..especially Albus Severus..C'MON! Haha, but other than that I wish it would have went into more detail about where Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione ended up (job wise). However I did hear that Rowling is writing an encyclopedia to explain more. I also heard of an interview explaining that Harry and Ron became an Aurors and Hermione runs the Department for Magical Law Enforcement. I thought it was neat that Snape died a "good guy". I didn't even understand the whole King's Cross chapter...was he dead or unconcious?
