Dumbledore's final strategy

Description

(duh, book 7 spoilers)
Heh, couldn't sleep last night so drew something.

Ah, Harry Potter and the deadly hallows.
First time I read it, I thought the book was okay, with a few plotholes I could make fun off, as I did in my "badly hallows 1" movie, and eventually in part 2.

But after a bit of thinking, and rereading, I decided the story was not "okay with a few dumb things", the Deadly hallows is a complete trainwreck.
Incredible how hard it was to find any thing to make fun of in the previous books, while this book is filled with insanity.

Worst thing is, as seen in the comic, Dumbassdore and the badly hallows. Why are there 3 deadly hallows anyway, the only one that was important was the stupid stick. The invicibility cloak was only used so Harry could sneak to Voldemort (even tough he was openly invited, plus it was explained before that Voldy's snake can look trough the cloak, since she saw him at the graveyard before, so what's the point?) and the ring that could bring the dead to life..well, Dumbledore is the only one who used it and got his hand blown up as a result, so again, what was the darn thing doing in this story?

More funny is how Dumbydore preferred to let the deathstick float around all over the place, because he didn't trust Harry with it. No, rather give the most deadly and powerfull magic wand to people like Voldemort and Draco Malfoy eh? Genius.

Or how he has 3 vital clues left for Harry Ron and Hermoine, and then let's the goverment inspect them first, before Harry get's them. Dumbledore dude, you knew you were going to die soon right? Why didn't you give the items to Lupin or Snape or someone to fork them over after your death. What if the ministery of magic refused to give those items to Harry at all, huh?

It's nice that the book makes a good point that Dumbledore didn't come of his lazy ass and told Harry all about the Horcruxes immediatly on the first schoolday of the 6th year, but decided to hold the story off forover the whole schoolyear. And in the end even neglected to explain a few vital things, like how to destroy them.

And while the book does acknowledge this is stupid, it never givves an explanation why he did it. Only for the deadly hallows but never any reasening about the horcruxes. Bleh.

I mean come on, during that entire year, he was making sure bussines was put straight before his upcomming death, so why stalling for time? Was he to busy with other things? What things?
He didn't leave any instructions, made up with his family or took precautions to protect the goverment from taken over by Voldy.

(reminds me, how the heck can Voldemort take over the ministry within 1 week and immediatly send all half blood people over for investigation? That's the same as if Hitler let's some Nazies take over the brittish goverment and demands all jews to come over, with entire great brittain just shrugging about it. Yeah right.)

I love in the books how Hermoine turns her parents into australian farmers, and a few chapters later explains how she isn't able to do any memory modification spells to Harry.

I love it how Moody thinks a ghost Dumbledore is a great security system to stop Snape from sneaking in (I can totally picture Snape running scared from a ghost Dumbledore. especially considering there's a LIVING AND TALKING PORTRAIT of Dumbledore in his own office.)

I just love how Harry gives a huge speech to Lupin about how cowardly it is to fight Voldemort on your own and leaving your loved ones behind. Harry never does that himself, nooo.

Just love Rowling made a big deal in all interviews about how some information contained vital clues to the solution of the final book.
Especially since every single element of the climax is suddenly introduced completely out of left field right before the final climax, while every single important plot element from the previous books (the veil, the locked room with hidden powers?) are never mentioned again. Nice one.

Just love how Firenze has this dramatic entrance in the 5th book and how a huge deal is made about the centaurs being angry and ready for war, only for both Firenze and the centaurs to only make 2 or 3 cameo's in the later books.

Just love how much time is spend in explaining how evil and uncontrollable the dementors are, and how they are on a rampage and are more dangerous then Voldemort himself, only to have them completely drop out of the story in the 7th book.

Love how much time is spend building up this huge "magical creatures against wizards" battle. All this stuff about House elve slavery, the ironic statue at the minestry, the giants being whiped out, the spiders losing their leader and starting to rebel, the Goblin wars. And where does it all lead? Into a pointless one sentence cameo for all creatures during the final battle, without even making it clear on who's side they are, or if they win or make a diffrence or anything.

Love how the story is stalled with the endless bickering between Harry and his pals during the stupid camping trip, just so Lupin and Tonks kid get's born. His pointless cameo during the epilogue where it isn't even explained where he lives now is really more important then having a good pacing in the book. It also makes Lupin and Tonk's deathscene that much more sad and tragic. Never mind the fact that their death pretty much reads as "look, Lupin and Tonks are dead! Ah well! Whee"

And the good old "everytime Voldy get's angry he murders half of his men". Can anyone explain to me why this psycho got any followers? Or any soldiers left during the climax to begin with.

Ah, and these are only the plotholes that are don't work in flash movie parody format, I have another list of mistakes for smaller observations as well.
Ah Jk Rowling, not sure if I should dislike you for ending the saga with such a lame book, or thanking you for this goldmine of plotholes.
