For those of us who have finished the last Harry potter book, come discuss it here. _________________ "I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity."- Edgar Allan Poe

I thought two things were cop-outs in this book:
1. I didn't think that both Tonks and Lupin would have both died if Harry hadn't been made godfather. There was some obvious tie-in there that meant Harry had to be made to raise little Teddy.
2. Voldemort meant to kill Harry, but ended up missing him and destroying the part of his soul that resided in Harry instead of destroying them both. That was a pretty weird idea that I'm still struggling with and I can only explain away as a cop-out.
Otherwise, it was a good read. Pretty slow in the beginning for me, but once I got past the Malfoy Manor chapter, it started picking up speed in my opinion. I was also extremely happy with how Snape's character unfolded there at the end, tying up all the loose ends about him, but that might have been because I predicted the thing. That is one bet I WOULD have won, if my mother had cared to participate; she was on the opposite side. _________________
Yeah, a lot of people were on the opposite side, but I laways loved Snape. No matter what book 7's result was gonna be. I also had a feeling Snape was gonna die. He is that tragic, mysterious character. Been reading some good chibi Snape fics and other fics revoliving around Snape since I finished reading. god, why'd my favorite charcter have to die!? Anyways......
Overall, I loved the book. _________________ "I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity."- Edgar Allan Poe
that 19 years later crap was pathetic. Also...only a breif mention of Chow? She was harry's girlfriend who broke up do to missunderstandings.....and all we get is "oh....she lived and she was there battling against Voldi's army too." What is it with all the cop out romances in pop culture latly? _________________
I actualy didn't like Cho, no offesne. Although, I am a huge Snape/Lily shipper. And JKR will prboably release an encyclopedia eventualy, she herself said there was a lot more to the 19 years later thing then we saw in the book. for example ,Ron and Harry became auruors and revolutionised the ministry. Hermione is working in magical law department. She said this in an interview. So, I can't wait for the encyclopedia. _________________ "I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity."- Edgar Allan Poe

Yes, I heard about the encyclopedia as well. I can't wait for that, but she'll probably want to take some time off before she starts working on that....
And I know what you mean, Yin-Yang, Snape was my favorite character as well. In the end, he turned out exactly as I had hoped, and still the character I was curious about in the very beginning of the series. _________________
Yeah, I expect it'll probably come out a bit closer to the release of the 7th movie. Obviously, JK, can afford to take some time off from writing. _________________ "I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity."- Edgar Allan Poe
True. But maybe she didn't wanna do it untill the series was more complete. _________________ "I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity."- Edgar Allan Poe
