When I finished reading books 1–6,
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
dragonbetween and I had many detailed and fascinating conversations about the books and our speculation for book 7. These were easily some of the most fun lj conversations I've had. (They got a little silly, if you can't imagine.) And when dragonbetween and I were harassing honkie_mcgee with bizarre commentary on Deathly Hallows including discussing all the "camping," "gardening," and "synchronized swimming", it made me want to discuss Deathly Hallows in detail with dragonbetween. So, we're both doing a reread and will be posting chaphttp://www.livejournal.com/update.bmlter reactions in our journals. We'll take turns posting reactions so the chapter discussions will be passed between our journals, but we'll always try to link back to the previous part so everyone can follow along (should you choose).dragonbetween started last night, so if you want to weigh in: Chapter One: The Dark Lord Ascending OR In Which There Are Peacocks.
WARNING: May be spoilers beyond Chapter 1

And I think it's funny you should mention our Deathly Hallows speculations because I was rereading some of those conversations last night and and found it quite funny how very far off the mark we were on somethings. (I blame JKR for us being wrong of course because they were all things that were likely to happen so clearly she just wrote the book wrong.) If I can find the time I think I'll make a post with all our pre-reading thoughts, probably with commentary in regards to what really happened, so that we can add those to our discussion of Book 7.
I just thought it would be fun for us to post stuff in both of our journals (and spread the love across our flists).
We were so off the mark on some of them, but I'm so happy about Regulus that I just don't give a crap about how wrong I was on other counts. (Except the Veil. That pisses me off still.)
We need to revisit those thoughts, yes. The two things I remember most vividly is sending Fawkes off to fetch us Book 7 and me digressing into fanfic. Like I do.
Oh I will definitely talk in any post that you make. Actually having both of us making posts for all the chapters would probably bring up more points for discussion as well.
I think the "prediction" that had me the most excited was when Romulus showed up. We'd been so wrong about everything else that I was just ecstatic to be right about something! :P
I like it when you digress into fanfic. Besides sometimes fanon is practically canon.
Romulus rules.
I like diverting into fic, too. You know it's awesome.
Yes he does.
Fic is awesome and talking about fic with you is awesome too.
btw-I've already been thinking about my write up for the epilogue.
*glee* I can't wait to see it! Soon? ish?
You have a bunny icon!!!!
Yes. Yes I do.
