I forgot to mention that I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this morning. This post contains spoilers for all those readers living under a rock so you've been warned! Overall, totally awesome book but I agree with many that the epilogue at the end was either not necessary or needed major reworking. If JK's next venture into the Potter-verse is about Albus Severus and not his godson, Teddy, I will not be happy as Albus reminds me of that kid from Shane whom I, and everyone else I know, wanted to smack hard. (Oops! KJ warned me to never mention that movie again...) Ooh! Longbottom is now Professor of Herbology? What happened to Sprout? It's only been 19 years... I think Malfoy marrying a Muggleborn or half blood would have been a cool shocker but I didn't write this did I?
One of the best parts of the books was the two or three chapters where it was just Harry and Hermione and not Ron because he has always been the Cletus to Harry's Roscoe P. Coltrane. I also enjoyed finally meeting Aberforth Dumbledore and maybe I missed this connection from previous books but I thought it was cool it turns out Tonks is Narcissa and Bellatrix's niece and that their sister Andromeda married a Muggle.
Is it bad that I felt the most significant deaths in this book, beside Snape's, was Hedwig and Dobby's? If Ginny can't die then Cho Chang should of. (And why was she referred to as an ex? I'm reminded of "I'm over you." "You're over me? When were you under me?") Hagrid dying might have been good drama as well but whatever...
My mother asked me if she should read it. As she stopped reading the series halfway through Phoenix, I told her no but if you're caught up with the series then, yes I do recommend it...
