Lupin/Harry fight!! OMG! (0_____0); Was it just me, or did this seem really out of character for Lupin?
I thought it was a bit OOC, but ever since Tonks came into the picture, I guess he might've gotten a little crazy, heh.

Was I the only one sad to see Colin Creevey die?
NO, OMG, I WAS SO SAD! D:

What DID Dudley see when the Demetors came to kiss him? Does JK say, because I don't remember if she does.
No, she didn't. I dunno if she expects us to work it out by ourselves or not, but there's still a few questions needing to be answered.

I knew there was going to be a lot of Lupin/Tonks in this book so I was prepared for it... I actually quite like how she did it - they were never happy together ::is mean:: leaves it open for people in serious denial like me to argue that it's due to Tonks that Lupin is OOC and angry and weird... MAYBE HE'S BEWITCHED BY SOME SORT OF LOVE POTION! 8D (or maybe not...)

I know, I was so sad! DD: So many people died in this book, although I suppose that was to be expected. I'm still surprised neither Harry nor Hagrd died - I thought both would...

AGH! That was one of the things I really wanted to know before Book 7 came out... I thought I might have just missed it... Well, I suppose whatever it was, it changed his attitude to Harry. I actually found reformed!Dudley quite sweet :3

Really? What else needs answering? ::is curious::

Yeah, I prepared myself for that too. But thank God for so many loopholes! I had the love potion theory before DH, but now I just think Tonks has got some issues and needs to grow up and not be so selfish. And Remus gave in to pressure, and I'm sure his grief over Sirius's death might've made him jump to some rash decisions.

Yeah! Everyone was all, "Omg which two characters are going to die?" while I was all, "Bloodbath!"

I loved that Dudley came around. It was rather sweet, I agree. :)

Aside from the open questions, I was sure we'd get more answers about the DoM--what the veil exactly was, that locked love room, etc. There are a couple others but I can't remember them right now.

Yeah, you've got to wonder - I think maybe JK wrote it like that just so the Sirius/Remus shippers wouldn't be too pissed off. I mean, there is no section where Tonks and Lupin are happy together. I choose to interpret that as deliberate... I mean, it's proven that war and death causes people to want to create new life - I think part of it is that Lupin wanted a child. I mean, once Teddy was born he just wanted to leave Tons behind and go gallavanting off with Harry. But yeah, I think the grief over Sirius would have been highly traumatising and caused him to go all OOC and wacky.

... I'm taking this way too seriously... XDD

I was all, "Bloodbath!"
XDXD my dad was really mean - he read the last couple of chapters while I left the book unattended in the morning... And then told me what happened before I'd got there (>____<) so I knew some of who lived/died. Bastard ( ... )

I have to admit I cried my eyes out when I finished reading it. I literally sat and sobbed. LOL ( ... )

I cried sporadically throughout. Damn, there goes my rep as a butch, lol XDD

ME TOO the 19 years later bit annoyed me for that same reason! I don't quite know why... Having it suddenly in the future and so 'perfect' just seemed a bit of a crappy ending, to be honest...

I was so happy too when Snape turned out good... I mean, everyone saw that coming, but I was getting a bit worried - I couldn't work out why Dumbledore would want Snape to kill him... When it was all finally revealed, it was so good, gah! :DD ::huggles Snapey:: <333

I thought Fred's death was really sad, as was Dobby's (;______;) But yeah, I think the first half of the book could have been trimmed a lot, and the aftermath of the battle focused on more. I liked the last 5 or so chapters way more than the rest...

When Kreacher first appeared I read it wrong (because I'd been reading non-stop all day!) and thought he was fighting for Voldemort and got all upset o(T^T)o then I re-read that paragraph and realised he was fighting for Harry d(^w^)b and then I cried. AGAIN ( ... )
