(little hint about the ending)

Harry spams shockwave emoticons on a transformers website?

That's a bit of a naff ending

perchance, did Shockwave do it?

He might have stolen a second from somewhere?

He wouldn't buy one of course... much cheaper second hand...

on topic, i thought this book was fooking great.

me too.

Though the long passages of "This is what was really happening the whole time, Harry" every other chapter got a bit old.

But Dobby.... sniff.

Snape... I had a feeling that he was "in on it," but finally getting his whole story was awesome. It all fell into place. He really did hate Harry, because he saw a lot of James in him. But he had to protect Harry because of how Snape felt about Lily.

I really expected Dumbledore to wind up being a total *****, but he wound up being just a flawed character, which I liked.

The ending seemed like a cheat. I mean, Harry goes to meet his death while all of his deceased loves ones are supporting him. And then there was more... The more could have been removed.

Crabbe. Wow, that was brutal!

Tonks and Lupin. As soon as they named a Godparent, you knew what was going to happen to them. Still, I wish it would not have happened off-page.

19 years later: It just kind of seemed like bad fanfic. Albus Severus Potter? Oh come on now.

All that aside, it was still a fun read. The last 30 minutes of the movie are going to be EPIC.

Spoilters too (sort of)

I agree with the 19 years later part, it seemed like she sold out to fans.
At least Harry and Draco didn't hug or anything when they saw each other, that would've been a bit too much.
I wish Tonks and Lupin hadn't died offscreen either, I was really hoping for a Greyback/Lupin showdown... which never happened. Boo!

Oh, I liked the epilogue. Give her a bit of mawkish sentimentality after so long.

The best way to sum up the Deathly Hallows is that it would make a great Peter Jackson film: lots of intense emotional scenes, lots and lots and LOTS of fighting, and lots of difficult information to convey to the audience.
