[tracilicious]

I thought the epilogue was somewhat touching. I loved that Harry and Ginny's second son was named Albus Severus. I would have liked to have known more about their lives and the lives of others, but what I really wanted for Harry this entire series was for him to get a happy, normal (for a wizard) life after everything was done. And I got it from the epilogue.

I loved the entire Snape part. I really wanted to hate him when he took George's ear off, but I still clung to a shred of faith that he was good. It wasn't until he ran out of Hogwarts that I expected him to be bad after all.

So many deaths. The part where Hagrid was carrying his body was so moving. I loved how hard everyone fought after they thought Harry was dead. I think Voldemort would have been defeated even if Harry hadn't been there. I also loved that Harry never Avada Kedavra'd anyone. Just not his style. I was disappointed that he used Crucio.

Neville was so fantastic. I'm so glad he got so much glory in this book. It was so appropriate that the final battle happened at Hogwart's. And all the headmaster's cheering. Sigh...

To answer Alex's question...I think she'll leave it alone. I hope she'll leave it alone. She's written other books?
