    I really like Rowling's style and characterisation in this one. It's great that she's finally throwing off the kiddy-gloves and giving the fans some gritty realism to complement the darker tone of the sequel.

    11/Potter-tastic from me.

    :awesome

    Rowling managed in that one chapter to make me fall in love with Hermione's character more than I had in the previous seven books. Truly a visionary, I wait with baited breath for the rest of her next magnificent work.

    She has truly refined her craft. She clearly knows what her audience wants.

    I like how provocative the mysteries have become.

    For instance, what was the effect on Hermione at the moment she was struck down by the accident.

    Beautifully crafted chapter and excellent dialogue that was clearly lacking in the previous seven books. I give it a 9001/Potter-tastic. I eagerly await chapter two.

    And in other news...

    Ha. That's the kind of shit they should've been saying in the books, being teenagers and all.

    Don't think it ever got created. I don't think it'd really work that well anyway. Tell much information in one thread would lead to multiple discussions/arguments at once.
