Well, I finally finished - and I enjoyed it. I was glad that this one recovered from the last and had enough momentum to keep me up reading when I should have been sleeping.

High points for me not mentioned (or noticed by me anyway) in this thread:

No Quidditch - thank god for that, those long passages of quidditch matches always annoyed me.

I liked that the characters become more complex and flawed, that came quite away from the Good vs. Evil of the earlier books. The Malfoy's willingness to betray Voldermort, for the sake of their son - but never fully coming into the fold. Snapes unrequited love and the power it has over him that transcends questions of good and evil. Dumbledor's failings and dark past. Ron's abandonment of the quest. It made them all more real, and to me more satisfying.

That said, the epilogue was unnecessary - and a bit annoying if I think too long about it.
