Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I just finished the Half-Blood Prince and am slightly filled with awe...
Let's start away from my two main points (which shall be saved for last). So, first, RON AND HERMOiNE. So cute. I always knew they would look adorable together. Ron and Lavender? Disgusting. That part in the book bugged like nothing else... And then, Ginny and Harry <3 Cutest things in the world!! Though, I was kinda mad at Ginny, ALL the boys she dated? Haha, WOWZA. TONKS AND REMUS. I was actually kinda mad...I never saw that coming... Not that it's a terrible thing, but I was thinking Tonks was all sad over her uncle's death when in reality she was just obsessing over a guy... A guy much older than her, I feel I must mention. What kinda pairing is that? So random...
And of course, the couple getting married, BiLL AND FLEUR. I was getting kind of annoyed with Fleur at first, though I had always liked her, from the moment she was chosen for the Tri-Wiz. But at the end, when she comes in and says that she's "good-looking enough for both of [them]" I have to say, I was quite satisfied in her love for him. I always thought they had just fallen in love with each other's looks... Poor Bill, by the way. I really liked him... Now he's a mutilated half-werewolf. I wonder what Umbridge would thinkk of him, a half-half-human.....Heheh xD

And poor Hagrid, lost all three of his favorite students because they didn't want to continue his classes... And then he lost Aragog...poor thing.
Is it quite possible for the Dursley's to become any MORE annoying? I thinkk not >.<
Haha, and then there's Slughorn. I thought he was going to be quite intersting with that special memory of his, but...Well, not really. Slughorn was basically just a loser who liked knowing people in high places, and all he did was tell Tom what he knew about horcruxes, it wasnt as though he had actually HELPED Tom do anything about it... And, talking about horcruxes, wowza...We finally know how Voldemort became immortal! So, the diary's out, the ring's out, and the locket's missing...Who in this world is R.A.B.? And why did he//she cause Dumbledore to get so weak he wasn't able to defend himself properly afterwards?
Yeahh, if Dumblydorr hadn't been so weakened he could have taken on all those Death Eaters and more...

"I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you."

If there's one thing I'm reallyy going to miss, it's Dumbledore. Maan, I actually cried for this guy. He was so amazing, and well, didn't deserve to die so...er...early (;
And I'm going to murder Snape.... I kept faith in Severus every bit as much as Dumbledore. I didn't lose hope when he spoke with Narcissa and Bellatrix, I didn't lose hope when made the Unbreakable Vow, I didn't lose hope when he was always with Draco, obviously helping him, I didn't lose hope when he did so many mean things to Harry. But when uttered the words "Avada Kedavra" well, I lost it. I was soo ready to read 'suddenly he swung the wand at the last second and pointed it at Greyback' or the siblings, or the fourth wizard. But no. He didn't swing it away. He killed Dumbledore. Though, there's one more thing I wonder about... When Snape comes onto the ramparts, everyone expects to finally see his true colors, but it seems Dumbledore had already seen them... " 'Severus...' [...] For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading [...] 'Severus ... please...' ". So, Dumblydorr knew... But WHAT exactly did he know?

Wow... And then, Rosmerta was under the Imperius curse? She gave Katie the necklace and kept Draco informed? Didn't see that at all...
OH. And when Harry is dueling Snape at the end, my gosh, why'd Rowling have him trying to say the Unforgivable Curse, Crucio? I thought it woulda been much more of a strong point if it had been SNAPE to utter it instead.... But, that's just my opinion. Speaking of Snape and curses, SNAPE was the Half-Blood Prince?? I was so sure it was Voldemort.... Now I want to know more about Snape's history...

And NOW, McGonagall is headmistress? Thats such a strange thought... McGonagall, running the school? And, I wonder if Slughorn is going to continue teaching, because if he leaves, they'll be in need of a new Potions, Defense, AND Transfiguration teacher.... Plus new heads for Gryffindor and Slytherin. Well, maybe they just won't reopen the school... I sure hope they do, though (:

Well, all I can say is, Dumbledore will be greatly missed by us all...[,:

Code Geass :: Lelouch of the Rebellion {{Lelouch}}

So, second blog entry (: This one's about Lelouch Lamperouge of Code Geass, my all time favorite anime ;] I'm going to do one for some of my favorite characters.

Lelouch Lamperouge, or Lelouch vi Britannia, son of Lady Marianne and Emperor Charles di Brittania, and brother of Nunnally vi Brittania.

I have to say, this guy is siriusly one very ah-mazing person. I mean, the way he gets the world's hate completely focused on himself so that after he was gone, the world would be able to focus on righting itself instead? Simply amazing.

I also love how much he cared for his friends. The thing that touched was how he tells Millie, Rivalz, and Shirley that they WOULD launch rockets together {when he says those three and then imagines Nunnally, Rolo, Nina, Kallen, and Suzaku standing with them} and later on, in the picture dramas, he had asked Jeremiah to set them off, when it was Millie, Rivalz, Kallen, Gino, Nunnally, Suzaku (as Zero), and Nina. Only poor Rolo and and Shirley were missing, and Millie says that they are watching from above. And then Suzaku asks whether Lelouch is also watching... That just touched me.

And then the entire Zero Requiem thing was just so epic. I have to say, I had great fun watching that whole thing unfold, from the time when Suzaku was Lelouch's sword and CC his shield, to the moment Suzaku's sword stabs Lelouch in the end. And Suzaku taking Lelouch's place as Zero was pretty awesome, too.

I felt so terribly sad for Nunnally though, poor thing. She cared soo deeply for her onii-sama.

Poor thing... I wish he woulda told her at least that he was going to live...Yep, I DO believe he's still out there, driving a carriage with CC. Though, I'm not all that obssessive with proving this point, or looking into everything they've given out that should suggest he's still alive. I just see one thing that gives his plan away. The simple fact that when Suzaku shows up in the Zero costume and tries to get past Geremiah, he hardly tries to fight him, and as Suzaku jumps over his head, Jeremiah utters the words "Onwards, masked knight!" His loyalty to Lelouch would never have kept him from protecting his king. He also isn't extremely devastated afterwards, now is he? Yep, Lelouch is alive and well, living out the rest of his immortal life with CC [:

And is it not simply genius how he ends out ruling the ENTiRE world? I mean, he was emperor of Brittania, so he head that, the Chinese Federation and EU had already joined together under the United Federation of Nations, and he tookk over that, and he basically had control over Japan, as well. I don't thinkk anyone had ever done that before, ruled over the entire world... Not with the full support of his people, but that wasnn't really the point of his dictatorship, now was it? Haha...

And can we also take a moment to look at his Zero costume and Zero in general?

Well, Zero's costume is one pretty epic thing, you've got to admit (: I love the scene when Arthur {I love that kitty} runs off with the Zero maskk and the entire school is trying to get it...Haha. And then, Zero's character. He's siriusly amazing. I love the way he knows everythingthing and has a countermove for every possible possibility. The only match he ever had was Li Xingke (that epic chinese guy [; )

Zero: "You've earned your victory, Xingke. I should have killed you first. You're as good a tactician as I am, and as strong a warrior as Suzaku. One could say that the heavens blessed you twice."
Zhou Xianglin: "Yes, but the heavens didn't give him enough time to live."

Oh, I love Li... But, this one's not about him, so, moving on...(;
Haha, well, I have to say, I also love when Lelouch (as Zero) plays chess against Shneizel! I mean, what they were gambling? Wowza... Shneizel was ready to give up Suzaku, and Lelouch to reveal himself, but only because they both thought they were sure to win! Haha ... "If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?" ~Lelouch~ ...I love that... Heheh, well, thenwe also have to look into his relationships with his different siblings, of course.

He was so cute with Euphemia (one of my all time faves....). When he has to kill her...Wow, that was intense... "You were the first girl I ever loved..." ~Lelouch~ I felt so bad for poor Euphie...She was such a sweet little girl and Lelouch completely cursed her with the geass he gave her....I mean, killing the Japanese people she herself had brought in peace? Harsh.

And then, Cornelia. I doubt Lelouch and she were ever all that close, but they must have been, what, with how close he was to Euphie.... Anyways, he never did quite like Cornelia, though, now did he? He was quite prepared to kill her...
And Clovis...Hmm, I doubt they were at all close, since he didn't thinkk twice before pressing the trigger there, did he? xD
And then of course, the notorious Shneizel...Haha, *hatred* Lelouch just reallyy wanted to kickk Shenizel's butt at chess xP
--I don't mention Oddyseus or the two sisters because they're hardly important...--

And then we've got Lelou's relationship with dear, sweet Rolo. I don't really thinkk that brat's sweet. The monster tried to kill Nunnally for crying out loud! Though, I must admit that his death was rather touching... He was willing to give his life to save Lelou, believing Lelouch had lied about everything, even hating on Rolo himself... Poor kid, assassin from childhood, all he really wanted was a family and Lelouch was the closest thing he had, and Lelouch, well, tryied more than once to kill the mangy bratt...

And of course, we have Lelouch's love//friendship with Kallen Kozuki. Kallen and Lelouch would have been so cute together...Though I'm still a Lelou//CC fan. Kallen worked so hard for the Black Knights, for Zero specifically, for everything that was JAPANESE. And she was one amazing gal. Ace pilot of the Black Knights...Oi, pretty awesome, but I suppose Lelouch doesn't go for anyone under 'immortal' status, does he?

Haha, which brings us to Lelou//CC (: One of my favorite parings of the entire show... I'm so glad he gets to go off and live with her forever in the end. Though I do still feel for poor old Kallen who worked so hard for him... But, then again, CC was pretty amazing. She gave him his power, backed him through it all, and even backed out of her deal with Charles so that lelouch would be able to send her off with a smile on her face when the time came (: I love those two...

Well, I thinkk that concludes my little thing on Lelouch!!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

So, this is my first ever blog entry! Just a heads-up, I'll be blogging about plent of random things...Haha (:
Anyways, so, I recently finished the Order of the Phoenix and have to let out some steam...

(left to right) Sirius Black // Peter Pettigrew // Remus Lupin // James Potter

(left to right) Remus // James // Sirius // Peter // Lily

So, I would like to start out with Severus Snape's 'worst memory.' WOWZA. Poor thing! I was nearly on his side in that scene (though I still love Sirius, so I was kinda torn...). Poor Snape was bullied soo much by James and Sirius! Though when he calls Lily {the only person vouching for him} a Mudblood, I kind of lost some of my sympathy for him.... I mean, seriously, she's trying to help you and you curse at her? Not a very smart idea... And then Sirius//Remus//James were just so awesome together! I wonder what it would have been like to go to Hogwarts when they ruled it... I mean, they could probably even show up Fred and George, what with making the Maurader's Map and all!

“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good luck at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” ~Sirius Black~

So, next topic of discussion... The Order itself! I seriously love the people in there.... Tonks is so funny! And even if she doesn't like it, I love her name, Nymphadora, so very pretty. And then, of course, Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody. Now, I was very angry at the end of The Goblet of Fire when it turned out that the man I was seriously loving was actually an imposter...>.< But Moody definately redeemed himself in this book! Mini-Crouch did a good impersonation of him, seeing as how that's how he really is. I love Mad-Eye, he's so cool. And then there's Kingsley, who, even though he had a pretty small role, was pretty awesomee, in my opinion. I loved how he modified Marietta's memory when no one was watching... Which brings us to the D.A. I loved it!! Hermoine was so awesome for coming up with it... I seriously loved their secret meetings! But I was so angry with Marietta for squealing...But HA, she got 'sneak' pimpled across her face...xP And then Dumbledore was simply amazing ....

"Well - it's just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to - what is the phrase? 'Come quietly'. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course - but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing." ~Albus Dumbledore~

That guy is simply awesomee...No real words for him, are there? (:
And then we can go on to McGonagall, another professor I simply adore...

"Well, usually when a person shakes their head, they mean 'no'. So unless Miss Edgecomb is using a form of sign laguage as yet unknown to humans-" I love that woman.
And then when harry goes in for career advice... "Potter, I will assist you to become and Auror if it's the last thing I do!" She's so epic when she's competeing with Scumbridge :]
"No fewer than four Stunners had shot from the figures around the cabin toward Professor McGonagall. Halfway between cabin and castle the red beams collided with her. For a moment she looked lumious, illuminated by an eerie red glow, then was lifted right off her feet, landed hard on her back, and moved no more" She's so epic...Four Stunners, and still alive (;

And then of course, Fred and George, two of my LOVES ... I LOVE their exit from Hogwarts!!! From the swamp, to 'accio'-ing their broomsticks, to Fred's final words to Peeves :: "Give her hell from us, Peeves" Ahh, I love those troublesome twins (; "Ask us no questions and we'll tell you no lies"

Haha, and then we have Hagrid and his...half-brother, Grawp. That was pretty hilarious. I love Hagrid, but I can't believe he brought that overgrown kid back against his will...xD But I have to say, it was pretty cute when he shows up in the middle of the centaur attack crying out "GRAWP WANTS HAGGER" I was seriously laughing ;]

And we do, of course, have to mention the evil that is Scumbridge....Wow, I don't thinkk I've ever disliked a fictional character as much as I dislike her! She was simply soo annoying, taking over Hogwarts the way she did! And then poor Trelawney when she gets sacked!! And attacking Hagrid out of no where, what was WiTH that? And don't get me started on that quil of hers... *shivers* That was just freaky...What kind of teacher {though she was hardly a real professor} DOES that??

Also, Snape, apart from his 'wosrt memory' scene, he was still pretty annoying... But that's nothing new, now is it? I still really like Severus, and I'm hoping he'll show his true colors and stay true to Dumblydorr...I don't know what I'll do if Snape is really on He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's side... Though I am kind of mad at him because he's obviously happy about Sirius's death, seeing as how the two never really saw eye-to-eye... 

Well, I think that concludes my little Goblet o' Fire discussion (:
Hope someone read...And feel free to comment agreeing or disagreeing with anything I've said or add your own thoughts :D
