This Side of the End

I know this is a little late, and that there are posts like this everywhere, but I read DH ridiculously slowly, and it's just now really sunk in, so here we go:

I hated the epilogue (prologue, whatever you want to call it) more than anything. I'll go into more detail on my journal late, BUT - I really, really loved the book...until the epilogue. I thought it was perhaps the most anti-climactic thing ever, and she probably could've done away with it completely and I'd be fine. No Luna, nothing on the rest of the Weasleys past Ron and Ginny, no mention on how George coped without his brother...just...little wizard sprouts running around and confusing me with their names and WTF ALBUS SEVERUS?

Other than that, the book was great. Just. Not so much the end-end. :/

she probably could've done away with it completely and I'd be fine Yeah, and that's exactly the point--she could have. It didn't really tell us anything we wanted to know or couldn't have concluded for ourselves (except for baby names and Draco's receding hairline, and nobody wanted to know those anyway).

But I agree, the rest of the book was awesome.
