I LOVED IT!!!!

What a great book with a great ending. I just finished now, and i didn't want to come to this thread until I did.

I'm glad the spoilers I read were all fake!!! But this book had me in tears. I;m sad that the adventures are over, but it ended just the way I wanted it to.

I love Neville.

Hedwig!

I cried for poor Dobby like crazy. I didn't even care for his character but his death and consequent burial at Bill & Fleur's home just had be bawling. I actually had to leave the book and blow my nose, wash my face, and cry a bit more before I could pick it up again.

I had the same reaction when I read that Fred died. My heart broke for George and Molly.

I thought Snape had a lame death but his memories of him & Lily were so awesome. I loved them.

Did I miss it or did she ever tell what happened to the Dursleys after they left their home? And did we ever find out anything about Harry's really green eyes other than they were like his mother's?

Yay! for Molly. Maternal love prevails. I'm gonna name my next kid after her.

Carnation, you are too funny! But no, we have no answers to either. All that speculation about the eyes being a magical connection was wrong :P (though granted, y'all weren't too off about eyes having some power...(Ministry of Magic...))

I just finished (I would have last night but I MADE myself stop to draw it out and savor). I am happy. The ending was cheesy, too cinematic, the plot so-so, but I am pleased. My heart was pounding, my breath was shallow, I laughed (her tragedy doesn't get to me as much somehow), and overall, I am well pleased with this ending.

I think the best part about this book though, is that it affirms the power of love

Snape in the Pensieve :O
Those who died
Molly Weasley kicks some serious booty So does Professor McG

And what about Professor Trelawney hurling all those crystal balls? I thought that was hilarious - she finally found a good use for them!

SPOILER:



Aw, I cried so much when a particular redhead died. And a certain animal. OK, I have a question about a sentence. On page 734, it says "... and Harry saw Charlie Weasley overtaking Horace Slughorn, who was still wearing his emerald pajamas. They seemed to have returned at the head of what looked like the families and friends of ever Hogwarts student....along with [people] from Hogsmeade." Does that mean that Slughorn is with the deatheaters? If so, then I totally missed something because I thought he was good.

No, Slughorn is fat and is being outrun by Charlie who is all athletic and dragon trainer lean.
