I keep seeking out Deathly Hallows meta, even reading back over lengthy discussions in which I participated in the first place. I know what I think of most of the events ("I confess myself... disappointed") and the apparent message ("...ick"); at least, I think I do. But I am still coming to terms with all the people. I have not got my emotions sorted out yet. What do I really think and feel about Dumbledore, Harry, Sirius, Lupin, Lily, James...?

Notice Severus himself isn't on that list, but the most problematic of course is the whole Severus/Lily thing. I have a serious love/hate relationship with that. I'll spare you gory details, which I have erased three sets of in this post. (DH is enough dull exposition without me adding to the heap. ^_~) But I am coming to the conclusion that part of what I love is a "might have been" kind of ideal, and not what we are actually shown. (Any resemblance to the inclinations of Potions masters living or dead is purely coincidental.)

I find it a little strange that my brain apparently can consider a book to be a trauma or shock that has to be coped with, not to mention that the processing is still going on four months later.

Tell me about it. It's not that I disliked it, I'm just still not sure how I really feel about it and still coming to terms with it. It's motherfucking insane! I think seeing the movie might help, although I'm a little afraid of the DH movie as well. afshkj

Yeah, me too. Look on the bright side, though: all that camping will finally be cut down to size. They'll have to toss a lot of it for "pacing", that same altar upon which much good stuff has also been sacrificed.
