Several observations, now that I've finished the book and skimmed several flist posts on it:

I pretty much agree on all of your points.

I think there should be an nraged-style chat about DH. I have a lot of things (good and bad.. maybe mostly bad? I haven't decided yet) I'd like to talk about. :D

Temp screenname is BarryJeanPotter. I'm away on vacation and I've forgotten my password to Stupidtrucks.

I'm also sad about Snape-- but I didn't feel it was unnecessary, because Voldemort thought he wouldn't be able to use the wand properly until he killed him.

And Snape was able to give his Lily-memories to Harry, which means that Harry now knows exactly how brave Snape was, and given that after that he respected him enough to name a child after him, he probably spread that set of memories around a bit. In the canon in my head, Snape is recognized postumously.

1. Heh. You do have a point about the tent and close quarters.
8. Yeah, what the hell was that? Lupin, at the very least, could have died on-screen.

I agree wholeheartedly. finestraditempo July 23 2007, 15:57:57 UTC

I'm angry that she not only didn't bother to give Lupin and Tonks a more meaningful or descriptive death- but that Fred's was practically "an accident" and nothing is said of Harry being Teddy's godfather in the end or the Epilogue. I think it would have been fitting to have Harry looking down at Teddy at some point in the last chapter. Meh.
