We call ourselves a Tom/Voldemort fansite, and it's taken this long for this thread to appear? :lol: We're slipping, people... ;) Anyway, now that the big moment has come, and Lord Voldemort is no more, what did you think of his death - the means, the location, everything about it. Did you think it was a fitting death for the terror of the wizarding world? Or did you think it was the worst death since a certain animagus tripped over the curtains? :lol: What did you think of the way it happened - was it a plausible way for Harry to defeat the much-more-powerful wizard?

My feelings can be summed up in a picture I found on DA the other day:
http://www.deviantar...ation/60753462/
And I quote: "Expelliarmus! What the HELL Rowling??" xD
Poor Tom... I guess I always envisioned a massive wizard duel to the death with Harry managing to dodge an attack and sending a killing curse - just barely managing to escape with his life. I mean I know it kind of HAD to happen this way (with the whole Harry's a Horcrux deal), but whyyyyyy Expelliarmus? xD
I guess it's kind of cool that she forshadowed it in the 7 Potters chapter (it being the spell that identifies him) and that Smith made fun of it but.... meh. Tom deserved a more massive ending. I also thought that Ron and Hermione would be involved too - like all three of them would have to hit Voldemort at the same time.... or somehow they would be able to put themselves in a coma and lend their powers to Harry? I don't know - I just hated how they weren't around for the final moments, really...
Meh. It could have been done a lot better. But I still don't think it was as bad as Sirius' death.

LOL! Love the pic, GriffinRose! :lol: And I agree with everything you wrote. I was expecting some huge arse battle with lots of action. Not Harry using his little disarming spell. :rolleyes:
That reminds me of an avatar I seen once. It went: "Sirius Black.... Escaped Azkaban.... Outwitted Ministry.... Killed by Drapery."
:lol:

OMG xD!!!
I guess both of their deaths were totally anticlimatic for me. I think both of them were amazing characters that deserved a little more of a heroic ending.
At least Voldemort got all of the horcruxes - Sirius' death seemed to come out of nowhere! :(

I guess Voldemort's death was kinda built up through the horcruxes, if you look at it that way - he was dying slowly over the course of the last 5 1/2 books, as his soul got picked apart piece-by-piece... I did think more could have been done with the final battle itself though - it was a definite anti-climax, for something with such massive repercussions in the wizarding world.
