(no subject)

I just finished reading Half-Blood Prince about a half hour ago, so I figured I'd go ahead and post my impressions before they mutate after reading what other people have to say. I know a lot of them are going to change drastically after lots of reflection and discussion, but I want to have them down as I first thought of them.

( Needless to say, HUUUUGE SPOILERS!! )

A single piece of advice for those of you who have not yet begun reading: Don't listen to "The Little Mermaid" beforehand. I have had "Under the Sea" stuck in my head all day long; having Sebastian randomly pop into my head singing "Life is the bubbles!" kind of ruined the mood for some parts.
