I finished the Deathly Hallows this weekend. I loved it. I promise, not a spoiler in the entire post....but you must read that book. It's delicious.
Here are the questions I still have for J.K. Rowling:
10. Have Dumbledore and Minerva McGonigal ever well, you know, it's late after one of the hundreds of winter balls, the pear martinis have been flowing, and they dance the last dance together, she's lovely and he's powerful....are you telling me that never happened?
9. Hermione Granger's parents with their brilliant dental practice never had any doubts about her attending a boarding school that doesn't offer a single biology class? What's that about? Witches and Wizards just learn the birds and the bees through osmosis? Maybe it's different for them. The mind boggles.
8. Where are the house-elf children? Do house-elves just spring up in the garden, fully grown, and step over the wiley little gnomes to get into the wizard house that they will serve for all eternity?
7. Why did Crabbe and Goyle never come out of the closet?
6. Why is Quidditch the only sport? While I appreciate the whole co-edness of it all, why are Wizards apparently monosportatic? Even in Europe they have sports besides soccer, don't they? Maybe not.
5. Why are American wizards not represented? Further proof that all of Europe looks down it's collective nose at the little upstart across the pond. Also not represented: gays, obese, punks, goths, and the learning disabled. Clearly not written for American television.
4. Why was the only wizard that was described as remotely good looking, Cedric Diggory, killed off? There should have been more good-looking wizards or he shouldn't have died, okay. That's more of a comment.
3. Teenagers and pre-adolescents with no television, computers, ipods, or video games....it's the most difficult thing to believe in the whole series.
2. Why does it have to end when I love it so?
