my cousin got it for me from bandi & luni's and i read it in 5 hours the night i got it...boy did my eyes hurt the next day.
probably not my favorite. I think the epilogue was too happy and cutsey, a little much for me. i'm satisfied though. i didn't think it was amazing or terrible...it was good enough for me.

Am I the only one who felt like breaking out a ham for an Easter dinner after reading the book--and I'm not even Chrisitian?

I finished it last night.
Here are some miscellaneous thoughts.

****************

Harry has never killed anybody, good or evil. We can't break that pattern, so I thought Harry was going to kill Voldemort unintentionally, like Dorothy kills the Wicked Witch of the West. Rowling must have thought this would be too easily predictable, so she has Voldemort shoot Harry with a wand which ricochets.

****************

I thought that the book was going to explain how Lily's mother's feelings of revulsion toward James happened to reverse. In Volume 6, Harry began wondering about that after watching his parents in the Pensieve.

Did Rowling forget to answer this question, or was that question answered and I somehow missed it?

What was with that effed-up skinless baby is what I wanna know.

Are we now in spoiler mode?

Wouldn't some idjit just come by and kill ole Harriness and go look for the death stick (I would if'n I was thar). I'm with the Ron meister on the stick (although bid D had the right idea with no one knowing that he had it, but everyone knows that Harriness has it now).

He shoudda just snapped it (er maybe ye can't because it is too powerful), but just hiding it is stupid. Or have a duel with a terminally ill dude, a step away from death, and have the stick's power fade.

I think the epilogue is just a way to prevent all the sequels possibilities and there is no one good villains left anymore. Again, unless you do a stupid second generation version which will very nearly flop.

Rowling is leaving the stick and the second generation for her own second tour. Only she would know the intricacies of the older version to revive it well enough to take advantage of the built in plot mechanisms, I think.
