Instead of doing a long-winded recap (too much!!) of the book, this is just going to be a sort of pros and cons list.

Things I Loved
  • Dudley caring about where Harry was going.
  • Hedwig being the first casualty. So sudden and shocking.
  • Krum. You freakin' cutie, you.
  • Auntie Muriel. She may be a bitch, but she is full of gossip.
  • The turn around of Kreacher. His wearing the fake locket.
  • The Ministry infiltration.
  • Harry and Hermione's trip to Godric's Hollow. His breakdown was a long time coming.
  • Luna's bedroom! "Friends."
  • Potterwatch.
  • The torture of Hermione. See below.
  • The cruelty of the death eaters. She went all out, and I'm glad about it. I was worried it was all bark and no bite.
  • Dobby's death. Harry's determination, and learning to close off his mind because of it.
  • Aberforth.
  • Neville leading the rebellion. Oh, Neville, I love you so.
  • Snape actually flying away in a batlike shape. Haha.
  • McGonagall, you lovable woman.
  • The death of Fred, Remus, and Tonks. You honestly have to lose some major characters.
  • The death of Severus Snape. Extremelly sudden and shocking, but perfect.
  • Snape's memories. So interesting, so sad...
  • "I open at the close. I am about to die."

Things I Hated
  • Ron. He has always been my least favorite character.
  • Lupin bugged me in this one until the end.
  • After 6 books, Harry's friends tell him he's wrong and don't believe him. Especially when he's right.
  • Chapter 35 - Epilogue.
  • One big Weasley family. *vomit*
  • That purely fanfic epilogue. I've read better fanfic endings, so Rowling dropped the ball on that one.


And there we go. That's my brief list of what I enjoyed, and what I hated. Overall, I really liked it.
