Yah, and what the hell was that bs about the half blood prince. You never even see the guy. I'm also really mad they put Snape in the book so much. I really hate that guy. He never really does bad stuff, but hes just a jerk, You know they might have well just called the book Harry Potter and Professor Snape.
And when I was reading some semi-spoilers I thought Snape would die. But Dumbledore....well thats not suprising. Some people have already said his time is up. I mean thats why Slughorn is in now, he'll be the new headmaster.
finished it, am now going into withdrawal symptoms.
It definately lines up the next book with a clear shot. I'm really interested in how it's all going to boil down even though I already know the entire plot just from the last 3 pages or so.

I'm not giving too much away, since its within like the first fifty pages, but the Harry Potter Universe just became better. Why? Because it officially has zombies. They don't call them zombies, but they're animated corpses.
