YAY I am finally done with the book. Freaking loved it -- definitely the high point of the entire series. Very worthy finale.... I just loved Hermione and Ron's kiss, as well as the "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" line... wowie!
I hope the movies of the last two books will do them justice, since it was dizzying how much was packed into those pages. Escape from being kidnapped (Malfoy Manor, my fave chapter) , a bank heist, a mystery, a war, and I swear she kills someone every 50 pages. Just ... fantastic.
I do agree that Voldemort was a little too dumb and arrogant at the end, but I guess that was the point. I still don't understand why he didn't just make another horcrux when he realized that HP had destroyed some of them. If I ever re-read Half-Blood Prince I suppose I'll look for that explanation from Slughorn, because I don't remember it.
