Click on comments to read my thoughts. SPOILERS ALERT!
Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

Well I finally finished - I know, I’m slow. I never read at home, just on the train.
I’ll agree with a few before and say that I knew Dumbledore was a goner. That said, I didn’t call Snape doing it. I still believe there’s more to this than meets the eye. The fact that Snape killed Dumbledore against Voldemort’s wishes but didn’t kill Harry is telling. Harry is not the skilled wizard - Snape could have killed him easily and didn’t. That and the fact that Snape being evil is just too easy.
As for the formula thing - I think it’s nit-picky. I’m on the 6th book and I can’t wait for number 7. In most books where I’ve read that many of the series, I’ve grown tired of it. To me Goblet of Fire is still the best book, but this may be my next favorite.

i agree with you about Snape. He was so adamant about the death eaters not harming harry - to leave him for Voldemort, but yet defied voldemort’s orders by killing Dumbledore. Much more than meets the eye….
and thank you - i find the formula thing to be nit-picky too…just enjoy the books! :)

[...] I knew Snape wasn’t evil. My comments of August 4th 2005, after finishing the last book: “I’ll agree with a few before and say that I knew Dumbledore was a goner.
