I am very disappointed.���͔��Ɏ��]�����B

The storyline especially the death looked very contrived; the death was as if publisher (or someone else) forced Mrs. Rowling to kill someone important and he was chosen.���ɁA�X�g�[���[�̎�����ɐl�דI;�̎��́A�o�ŎЂƂ��Ă̏ꍇ�i�܂��͒N���j��]�V�Ȃ�������d�v�ȃ~�Z�X���[�����O������E���Ɣނ��I�΂ꂽ�悤�ł��B The logic behind the sequence of events were very flimsy.���W�b�N�̔w��ɂ͔��ɔ����؂�ȃV�[�P���X�̃C�x���g�ł��B Also the death takes away the factor that holds together the tomes.�܂��A���ɍ��킹�č��ރg�[���Y���q���i�[����܂��B

Overall it appeared too much planning but less heart has gone into this volume.�S�̓I�߂���v�悪���Ȃ����Ƃ����̒��S�́A���̃{�����[���ł��B As if it was a desperate attempt to pensieve all the storyline together and bridge the apparent puzzles.�Ƃ���K���̎��݂Ƃ��ďꍇ�́A���ׂẴX�g�[���[��pensieve�ꏏ��u���b�W�A�������̃p�Y���ł��B

In this book you will find several characters behaving much different from their normal style and capabilities and they are not under any spell either AFAICT.���̖{�ɂ͂��Ȃ�قȂ��āA�����‚��̕�����ʏ�̍s���X�^�C����\�͂𔭊�����Ƃ���Ă��Ȃ��C�ӂ̃X�y���̂����ꂩafaict����Ă��܂��B That really make it a painful reading at times.�ɂ݂𔺂����Ƃ�Ǐ��Ɍ��Ė{���Ɍ�ʂ����X����B

PS. ps�̂ł��B And don't even get me started on the strange logic (if there is one after all) of horcruxes and why it was just not simpler to kill the main-Voldy first instead of his bottled away parts later on at leisure.�ł͂Ȃ��ɂ���ȃ��W�b�N������Ă��ĊJ�n���ꂽ�i��ɂ��ׂĂ̏ꍇ�ɂ�1�j��horcruxes�Ɨ��R���E�����Ƃ͊ȒP����Ȃ��ƍŏ��̂ł͂Ȃ��A���C��- Voldy�͔ނ̕r�l��away���i�ւ̃��W���[�ɂ��܂��B And the incessant arguments between Harry with his Scooby gang, who for some strange reason has suddenly lost faith in Harry, is boring to say the least.�n���[�|�b�^�[�Ɣނ̊ԂŐ₦�ԂȂ���scooby�M�����O�A who���R�͂����‚��̊�ȐM�‚�ˑR����ꂽ�n���[�́A�T���߂Ɍ����Ă��ދ�ł��B Oh yeah there are some predictable romances with tons of "snogging".����Ⴀ�����g���ɂ́A�����‚���\���”\�ȗ�������" snogging "�ł��B At least I learnt a british slang.���Ȃ��Ƃ����w�щp���̑���ł��B
