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.

Who's Katie again? Her name sounds familiar but I can't quite place her... Didn't she get injured or something earlier in the series? (I don't have any of the books.)

I haven't received my copy of HP7 yet (I think it'll arrive tomorrow in the mail), but I'd been reading spoilers online and refraining from saying much.

So the leaked version I'd heard so much about was real then. (Not that I'd read it... just read a lot about). *sigh*

I'll read the book when it arrives and attempt to keep an open mind. For now though, the unanswered questions (such as the ones you mentioned), inconsistencies and plotholes are crammed into my brain.

Maybe I'll like it better when I read the whole thing. We'll see.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the book; I was wondering about your opinion :)

I haven't been commenting recently and you probably don't remember why you friended me, but I had to come here to speak on this...hopefully you'll remember me at the end. :P

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 see your point, but I'm still oh-so-heartbroken. The thought of one without the other...I've been crying off and on all day, honestly...

I'm glad Katie came back to fight at Hogwarts. I have a ridiculous crush on her.
Now you've GOT to remember me. Katie's my favorite character without a backstory. ~~Destined to be with George Weasley, yes?~~ *g*

And the epilogue? Total fanfic, honestly
I thought so too I was kinda mad at the ridiculous fan-made quality of it.

but what happened to the Dursleys? Kreacher? Katie, Alicia, Angelina, Oliver? Lavender?
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHASERS GOD.

Remember yet? :]

Word on Neville and Luna. I don't think I wanted to believe that a Weasley would be going, I was hoping that one wouldn't. The realisation of the loss of Fred has been hitting me (I shipped Fred/Angelina) since closing the book. Mostly, I enjoyed it though, and I can live with fic and fanon for the bits we didn't get.
