Well, I liked it for the most part, but I read it so quickly there's probably a lot I didn't take in.

Lupin and Tonks. Oh. I so much wanted them to be okay. I knew a Weasley would go and suspected it would be one of the twins so that I don't mind so much. At least it wasn't George.

I love Neville and Luna so much. And Luna's father, so desperate to get her back. And Neville's grandmother!

I'm glad Katie came back to fight at Hogwarts. I have a ridiculous crush on her.

And the epilogue? Total fanfic, honestly. I wrote a kids leave for Hogwarts epilogue to "Under the Stars" about four years ago. There's so many people I would have liked to have seen instead of kids. I suppose it was something to do with hope and the future, but really. She had Ted Lupin for that: Harry all over again, his parents killed by Voldemort when he was too young to remember them... I can understand the happy ending impulse, but what happened to the Dursleys? Kreacher? Katie, Alicia, Angelina, Oliver? Lavender?

I would have liked Neville to kill Bellatrix, but it's kind of cool that it was Molly.

Oh, the Harmonians are going to go nuts. This is going to be so much fun.

Katie Bell. She was a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, injured by a cursed necklace in HBP.

There are a lot of unanswered questions, I think; mostly to do with what happened to various people. But a lot of things from the previous books are answered, so that's something I suppose.

I thought it was good on the whole, with a number of weak points, but then I tend to be a fairly uncritical reader for the most part. I hope you enjoy it. *g*
