I wonder what Harry did with all the money his parents left him. Did he set it aside for his kids' Hogwarts tuition (or is it free)? Did he make some kind of donation, or set up some kind of scholarship for, I don't know, maybe Quidditch seekers?

I want to know what happens to Umbridge.

If he was smart he collected off the interest

UGH!!! i HATE HATE HATE her, i mean, i'd like to know how she ended up, but that women was like the epitome of evil, (besides voldemort and the death eaters, but to me, she was just as good as)

With Harry, Ron, and Hermione revolutionizing the Ministry, Umbridge is probably retired early to save her the task of being acting bludger at the World Cups.

I wonder what job Ginny got? She doesn't strike me as the type to be a homemaker like Molly.

If she still has a job within the ministry, then I think Umbridge will be demoted to something like Magical Cat Inspector, since she seems to have a real liking for cats. Can't you just see her as a crazy old cat lady?

I think Ginny may work with the Aurors, specifically working with jinxed objects since she experienced that with Tom Riddle's diary.

I watched the interview with JKR on Thursday and Friday and she said that she would have Ron & Harry be Aurors and 'clean up' the department and Hermoine would work like in the Ministry's "rules & regulations" (she gave an exact term but I cannot think of it for the life of me right now).

She also said that Hogwarts headmaster/mistriss would be someone new (during the epilogue portion of the book).

The conclusion of the interview will be on Dateline NBC on Sunday, it's 2 hours, all devoted to HP.

Just finished watching an interview on NBC with J.K. Rowling. She stated that Harry and Ron would eventually completely revamp the Auror Department at the Mininstry of Magic with Harry as its head. Rowling also said she saw Hermoine working in the Dept. of Law Enforcement at the Ministry.

1. I knew Snape was good since I read my first HP book (#5). I also knew he had a thing for Lily. I was touched when he told HP to look at his eyes before he died of the snake bite, as if he wanted the memory of Lily's eyes to be the last thing he saw.
2. I was pleasantly surprised with my second favorite character, Neville!
3. I was not shocked by the deaths of: Fred, Dobby, Lupin, and Tonks. Few people spoiled it for me. So I knew it was coming.
4. The saddest death was Colin Creevey, I thought. He always looked up to HP and chose to fight even though he wasnt allowed. That was the bravest death to me.
5. The middle section of the book sucked. I loved the beginning up to the wedding and the ending (minus the very last chapter). The last chapter doesnt even sound like she wrote it. To be honest, the whole thing seemed rushed.
6. I am going to re-read the whole thing again after finals because I was speed reading since I was sick of having to hear about spoilers.

I knew I had read it too fast! I don't even remember Colin dying!

I don't think it was written like it was rushed; I think I (like many other HP fans) was so eager to find out what happened that I read it too fast. I think JKR did a brilliant job.

I think it was slightly rushed, but that's how I feel about all of her books. Everything always seems to happen in the last 100 pages. How do you find 1 horcrux in months and then off 4 of them in one day? But that's how life is, I guess--when you're screaming for things to speed up, in the blink of an eye you're just barely keeping up. I'm glad the author realizes that and, as uncomfortable as it is to feel that pull and push of time, she didn't just measure things out evenly for us. That wouldn't reflect life and that's the whole point, isn't it? To show that, magic aside, we're all human and this is what life is like when you're fighting for good?
