And Again

I would just add these to my last post, but that's long enough as it is, and since I didn't write anything down as I was reading nor as I was reviewing, these are just coming to me now.

More thoughts, much shorter. SPOILERS, naturally. )

book: deathly hallows, harry potter, rants

Well hello again! Yes, like my last comment, everything here refers to the epilogue and its horrible lack of tied-up ends. Pretty much everything you just said in that 4th paragraph is the reason I hated the epilogue. That's all there is to it.

It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. Maybe I just don't understand the point of epilogues, but I thought it was going to be more of JKR sort of listing what happens to the characters, and what they do later in life and that sort of thing.

While it would have limited fanfic a good deal, and that's probably the only reason why I'm even slightly okay with the epilogue she gave us, it wouldn't have been so pointless and stupid.

I expected pretty much the same thing from Andromeda. I mean, in order to have grown up with and then denied her family and their beliefs to the extent that she did, I would have expected a much stronger personality. Vague, that's a good way to describe how JKR wrote her. And if she had lines, I don't remember them.

The only thing I remember about Ted was that he seemed fake, not how a real person would act at all. And I had high expectations for him, too, since Andromeda was willing to be disowned by her family for him.
