Harry Potter 6

WARNING :- NOT SO SPECIFIC SPOILERS AHEAD
Clearly,this is the HP-equivalent of Matrix Reloaded. It answers quite a few questions and ties up a few ends together,but it mainly serves as a setting for a grand finale.I have this feeling that this book has more words than content,I felt that Sorcerer's stone or COS had more in that,many characters were established,many events occured in those books than in the Half-blood prince.
But that did not stop me from enjoying it thoroughly. I am a HP fan,and I have always marvelled at JK Rowling's seemingly endless creativity and imagination. The way she seems to effortlessly create such a grandiose imaginative world is really amazing. But my opinion about HBP is mixed,i liked parts of it,but it was not so much a page-turner as the earlier ones.
A few thoughts....
* Lesser importance was given to their academia and Quidditch,it was almost as though Hogwarts' in this book took a back-seat;and was contented to watch these characters live their own lives,not so much inter-twined with the school as in the earlier books.
* Ginny Weasley has suddenly come into the limelight,was given more coverage than any other girl in this book.
* Ron had a sudden,brief,unwanted tryst with romance,that i think served a little to fuel Hermione's feelings for him and more to fill in pages.
* Harry clearly has grown up,no longer the angry,rebelling adoloscent but more a mature guy now.
* All in all,romance was in the air,several new pairs were created during the course of the book.
* This book could well be regarded as the one with least number of new characters,new animals and new spells.
* The history of Voldemort is clearly explained in this novel,and I along with Harry,am very thankful for that.:-)
* The identity of the half-blood prince was nicely conceived and truly very surprising.
* The suspense created near the end - the identity of the person who stole the you-know-wat from the cave was very intriguing.
* The tragedy at the end was truly,very tragic.
* I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE LAST ONE TO COME OUT.

Sillass is here to kik ass..

Of late,my brain farts have become exceedingly common,I often go into spasmic trances imagining myself to be a,well, very imaginative writer....hence this new blog which shall bear the mis-fortune of hosting all my unchannelized and uninspired thoughts..
Ladies and Gentlemen,I present to you..

Gayping Thoughts

Some brain farts I had today..
..women expect their ideal man to be smart,suave,clean and basically all that your average joe isn't..
..gay men are all of the above,except they are not after women..
..if avg. joe tries to woo over his dame by taking care of the way he looks,he stands the risk of losing the gal,ending up refusin to go home wit Mr.Hairy Harleyson..
..hence,it becomes a predicament for avg. joes,do they clean up after themselves,look smart n suave,and not get the gal coz she thinks hez gay..
..or do they choose to ignore the air of filth arnd them,wear the same jockeys/socks/pant inside-out and try to pull it off as a fresh set..and yet again in the process,lose the gal coz she thinks hez a pig..
..wow,i really need to do something productive wit my life..
