Well, there are a number of things, like three, that I don't tell my friends I like, and that I am nearly obsessed with, the top two on that list being 1: Pokemon, and 2:Harry Potter >_>.

I enjoyed the book for the most part, and am excited that she is planning on writing an encyclopedia about the wolrd it takes place in, including many things and even some of her notes about characters..

However, I despised that epilouge..

I finished it tuesday.

The whole middle of the book was crap (Harry and Hermoine just traveling around...)

But still, 8/10.

Fred died.

And George's ear died.

Hermione dies from a drive by.

Lucky, either you copied that from PC, or you copied this to PC....uhh, yeah

I finished it on Monday. I liked the book, but the Epilogue...it wasn't as good. I think she should have killed off Mr. Weasley, he got a reprieve in the fifth book, and he should be dead. She has announced that she is done with Harry Potter books, but will do the Encyclopedia. She also said it will contain many answers to many questions. It was written very well, and I have to say, I cried.

In case someone didn't expect to see many spoilers,
THERE IS A SPOILER HERE
I cried when Dobby died. And I got a bit choked up when Harry saw Snape's memories....

WARNING - LOADS OF SPOILERS





I dislike how most of the deaths were meaningless... the only one with any impact was Dobby. Lupin and Tonks were very briefly mentioned, as well as Fred (or George, I forget which one).

Actually, thinking about it, Snape's was the best, IMO. Although the initial death was short, it was followed by a very moving chapter which explained his character and his motives... really brought a new dimension and added depth to the character.

I liked how the book made Dumbledore appear... human. Before, he has always been shown as the most powerful wizard ever, can do no wrong, etc. However, we find out more about his past in this book, and doubts are cast over him.

I found the Ron and Hermione relationship odd. In previous books, it seemed as if their relationship was getting worse and worse, with constant arguments. I'm sure that in a few books, they go for the entire length of the story without talking to one another. I admit that, from very early on in the series, I was sure that they would get together. It just seemed odd, IMO, how they spent the last few books hating each other, then Ron suddenly started trying to chat her up...

IMO, there was too much pressure on her to appease as many fans as possible. The series would have been much better off with less "Happily ever after" and more of an ending that actual fit all the plotlines and character development that has been built up thus far.

Spoiler: Harry likes men.

Good point. I think the ending would have had a MUCH greater impact, had Harry actually died when Voldemort "killed" him.

I would've definiately been shocked, and probably pretty sad as well.
