YES!! I have my Harry Potter book **SPOILERS ABOUND!!!***

[_Opi_]

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?
