The fact that even though Fudge said the Wizarding World knew SIrius was innocent, nobody seemed to show any reaction.

I agree. I didn't expect much reaction from the people who already knew since they were expecting it, but I guess I was a little disappointed.

This was the Book Where Sirius Never Existed.

I swear. He got, like, three mentions.

You know what the really odd thing was? I just knew who was going to die, without even reading the book. Though I have to say, Harry seems to be taking Sirius' death too well. BTW, is Tonk's new Patronus 'Padfoot' or 'Moony'?

Am guessing that the new Patronus is Moony, since she's in love with him and all. I thought it was Padfoot at first though?

Anyway, weren't we supposed to learn why Sirius died?

And also, did it seem like Harry just was okay about his role in Sirius's death? I don't even like Sirius, but Harry did, and he just seemed... okay. Maybe I've been reading too much fanfic, but I thought there would be some time spent on Harry getting over that. Unless the tantrum at the end of OOTP was a cathartic, and that's all there was to that.

Yeah, that was really weird. And, like, how Harry just didn't really mull over it. I don't know if he's dealt with it fully, but I do think that he thinks he's okay with it.

I think Harry had come to terms with it - his rage in OoTP wasn't foreshadowing further angst in HBP, it was just how he felt then. And he did get upset and feel odd when Sirius was mentioned.

Hm, didn't think of that. Maybe it got caught up in all the other news and since he was already dead it didn't matter as much. OR maybe the Ministry wanted to keep that they were wrong again quiet so they just reported that he was dead.
