SPOILERS

Kreacher's Tale was a great chapter, as was King's Cross and the chapter preceding it.

HOWEVER

The Epilogue was unbelievably shitty.
And the final list of characters who died was disappointing.
I also think I missed Hogwarts a little, though it wouldn't have been the same without Dumbledore anyway.

Harry should have died. As expected, Snape also died but not in the sort of way I had hoped. I also wish he had been more of a presence in the book, rather than coming in for the last few chapters and that's about it. Remus and Tonks died, but who really cares? Dobby died and that was sad, I'll give you that much. Fred died and it wasn't sad because they didn't even talk about how George felt about LOSING HIS TWIN BROTHER FOR GODSSAKE PEOPLE. I was ready for a big tearjerker of a book, and I didn't even sniffle.

When I read the Harry Potter books, I could not give a shit about the characters' romantic relationships with one another. And I hate reading about it. Back in the day, all the books really contained was a hell of a lot of gay subtext. And then all of a sudden Harry starts making out with girls, and Remus marries Tonks. WTF PEOPLE. I miss my old Harry Potter, the boy who lived in a closet (for godssake people, can it get any more obvious?), and all of the man-on-man hugging, and whatnot.

YOUR THOUGHTS?
