In the rest of the books, every chapter (save ONE at the beginings of a few books) have been from Harry's point of view. And the ones that wern't were from relitively minor characters, or previously unknown characters.
Chapter 2 threw me. Not just the content (all though I went cold when I read it) but because it was THERE. It represented something so important that JKR had to put in a SECOND non-harry POV chapter, and this one gives so much information...
Chilling. Of course, you already commented on my post, and I appreciate you not laughting at me buying the ebil (like many of the children who read the book undoubtedly did).
This book is dark and complicated enough that wonder if the small fry who read it will even like the series after this? I mean the very small fry (the 6-10 set) who aren't yet used to looking for other motives or analyzing plot? I can just imagin some poor little kid bursting into tears and running to their mother when they hit that fateful moment...
