I can see that a lot of people wanted a better epilogue. I did, too. I was a little let-down, as we only got to know what happened with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. We already knew they'd all marry, and we didn't even get to find out what they did for a living or anything. I assume Victoire was Fleur and Bill's daughter, since that's a French name. Wouldn't she be out of school by then?? Who did Teddy grow up living with? Obviously not Harry, though I would have expected he would, as Harry's godson...probably his grandmother, Tonks's mother. The book was awesome. It was my favorite. I finished it the first day!!! I could go on and on about it, but I'll restrain myself for the sake of taking up too much room. I'll just say that I fully expected Ron to die. Especially when he left Harry and Hermione. Actually, I didn't like that. I don't think Ron would be that bad a friend, and I was glad he was only gone a few chapters. He's my favorite character. Still, what Harry said was true - "He must've known you'd always want to come back." So I'm glad he didn't die then! I wanted he and them to reconcile. And they did, almost right away. A lot of people died, but no more then I expected. I was a little disappointed by Draco Malfoy's role, and Neville's. But Neville's part near the end was great. I swear, I'll never look at him the same way again! I really liked the end, the whole battle and all. Except when Fred, Lupin, and Tonks died. :( I did expect a few more questions to be answered. I've still got plenty. Like, what about the veil? I thought Harry would go beyond it to find Sirius! But there was no veil in the book, and Sirius truly was dead. And what did Harry's parents do for a living? Who used magic late in life? How the heck could Malfoy have a son in the epliogue? Wouldn't all the Death Eaters be in Azkaban? So many questions remain that may never be answered. Hopefully J.K. Rowling will provide us with a few!

Awesome book really awesome. I'd say it's the best so far the way it got us thinking that snape was with voldemort till the very end, the way it kept us intrigued about the silver doe, the way jk rowling played with our mind about dumbledore being a nice man or not a nice man, it was awesome the way that the trio managed to escape a few times out of huge tight spot. Wow i could just keep naming things that i loved about the book. However, i found the epilogue a little dissapointing. I felt like something was missing. But then again it has been a great book and i'd say it's my favorite of the series closely followed by order of the phoenix. Never really found out how Ron was able to speak parseltongue although i think it had something to do with the red glow in his eyes before he destroyed the locket. It's a little sad having to part from the books after such a long time! A big part of my life belongs to the Magical World of Harry Potter. Thanks Jk, =' )

What happened specifically to the other characters were not answered. Maybe on purpose. McGonnal is still head mistress, Hagrid is still there, Neville is a teacher. MR. Weasley aand Percy work for the new ministry. Luna always wanted to follow in her father's footsteps. The scary thing is in the epilogue, when you realize they are STILL sorting into houses. and Ron (as a representation of wizardS) still hates Sytherins . I think the epilogue showed us how much work had to be done to put things rigiht(like predijuice) and in 19 years it still wasn't right but Harry when he said it was okey to be a Sytherin, makes me think that is what he working on equal rights for everyone.

Yesterday evening i finished it, it was very difficult for me, because I'm Italian, and I think I didn't understand everything, I'll have to reread and also wait italian translation to be sure. But I found it amazing, I liked so much the final confrontation! And Neville! When he killed Nagini, so brave! I like Dumbledore story too, so human and life-teaching. I had supposed that he choosed to die because he had to die nevertheless! And in the end he knew everything, because he had learnt from his past faults and because HE IS DUMBLEDORE! The epilogue is a little unsatisfying, but I hope JK will integrate it in future with some biographies, she told she would have done it! The only part I didn't like was when Ron leave, in that moment I thought he was imperiused ;) I had a bit of fun, because I didn't know the meaning of "doe". I knew it was a patronus and so some kind of animal, so i searched on my vocabulary, but I didn't find. And I was very curious. Then I find it on google, eheheheheheh

I just finished it within the last half hour. This is without question the most heart-stopping book I have ever read in my life (I am 42, and have read a fair few books). I am emotionally exhausted, and grief stricken. While I realize it could have been so much worse in terms of casualties, the notable casualties left me wracked with sobs. My five year old son brought me kleenex and a teddy bear, bless him. Just as I have read all the other six numerous times, I know that I will read this one again and again, and hopefully repetition will lessen the effect. JKR surprised me on many counts, sometimes pleasantly, other times not so much! This one will be a (swear of female dog) to make into a movie!! What to leave out? I am glad about the ways in which she tied up the loose ends; I feel like I know the characters ever better, admire some so much the more, and one rather more than I expected. Having handed the book off to my daughter, I must stand at the ready with kleenex, and a shoulder on which to cry (sob, if I know her at all). I hope you all enjoyed this volume as much as I did.

I kinda think that the one to do magic later in life was Dudley, with the whole being nice to Harry thing. I definately didnt see that one coming, him being nice to Harry and all that. I really wish Snape didnt die. It would of been interesting for him to live and see what happened between his and Harrys relationship. Did anyone else figure out how when Snape kept asking Voldemort before he killed him to go find Harry Potter? He kept asking and asking. It was because Dumbledore told him that if Voldemort ever started to keep Nagini close to him, it was time for Snape to tell Harry he must die. I dont no if that was obvious to everyone else...

OMG!!! The best book out of the series! One question though, what ever happend with the veil?

i liked the epilogue i was happy with it, i feel that answering what happens to eeeeeeveryone else in one chapter is tedious, maybe she'll make a book for charity saying briefly what happened to everyone else? really its a lot to answer, i cant imagine her responding all those in an interview

Wow...It's finished...all done...just WOW!!!!! BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book! Once I started reading I couldn't stop. I think I may have scared my family a little, such was my intensity. Right now my little brother's reading it; hopefully he'll finish soon so we can discuss it. I'm very sad though. Remus Lupin was my favorite character. I had a slight mental breakdown when he died. At first I thought how horrible it was that both he and Tonks died, but then I thought about it. Clearly, in Harry's world there is an afterlife. So if Remus had to die to reunite the old gang, and leave his son behind, at least Tonks is with him.

the book was amazing, but it never said what happaned to Luna at the end you know, or hagrid and the other weasleys, but that is kinda askin a lot

To be honest I was a bit dissapointed. I figured love would defeat Voldy, since it's that was supposed to be Harry's secret power. I feel that the elder wand bit at the end was a bit of a cop out. I was also really dissapointed that we didn't get know anything worth while about the lives of the characters after the war, worst epiloge ever. All it did was make me angry, what kind of name is Albus Severus? And btw, Severus was a terrible headmaster, just think about it. It doesn't help that she killed Hedwig, I have when the pet dies. But don't get me wrong, there were lots of good things about this book, Jo has a wonderful writing style and I was shocked when she killed Fred. Maybe a reread of the book would leave me feeling better. I still have so many questions!

Fred's death was by far the most surprising. I figured the twins would go on and run Weasleys Wizard Wheezes forever and grow old and die together. :(

Man, I loved the conclusion of this 4,000 page tale. Snape's end, I wish, could have been more climactic, perhaps a "jump in front of a jet of green light" type of thing.I Also cant wait to see the battle of hogwarts to be on the screen, and I must say, I would have never imagined Ms Weasley saying, "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU B!+(#!!!!" I know thats gonna look great. I almost cried laughing when I read that. Another funny scene would be Profesor McGonogol Leading the heard of Desks yelling CHARGE!! And then, At the end, When Luna says, "I would like to be alone if it were me", and the whole, Hey look , a Bloibbering Blinkshank!!! or something like that. hmmm... 2009 isnt SOO far away. I am going to Miss reading the books, though, as I am sure so many others will. Maybe, just MAYBE, down the road, Rowling could start on another epic tale. My grandmother said that on the View there had been mention of a new series that rowling was starting. Is there any Merit to this?

CRIED THROUGH PRACTIALLY THE WHOLE THING!!! despite what everyone else says, i LOVED the epilouge!!!!

There was like a really funny part in the book where Hermione said something and it could be interpreted the wrong way if you know what I mean. I can't find it though. Oh, and the line about "Merlin's saggy left --" was hilarious too. 150-350 were boring but the rest was pretty good. 6 is still my favorite but I need to re-read 7 in order to finally determine it's worth.

I absolutely loved the book. It is now my favorite book ever. Yes the epilogue was a tad bit disappointing, but maybe she did not want to give complete closure to everything in case she does decide to add to the series. Now I am not going to raise my expectations and believe that she will write another, but J.K. said that she will never say never to continuing the series. Part of her just does not want to let go, but who could blame her. And as for Neville getting the sword, it is simply an enchantment put on the sword and hat so that whenever a true gryffindor was in need of it, well they would get it. And colin creevey's death. It was put in there to show that war has so many casualties, deaths that need not happen. That is why she put it in there, to show that things just happen.

favorite book yet. ron is ADOREABLE. when hermione kissed ron it gave me chills. hated the epilogue. predicted that snape was good and that he loved lily. wish neville had killed bellatrix. sobbed when dobby died. all in all, i'm already halfway through my second read, i ADORE deathly hallows.

Go JK! Excellent way to end the best series of all time! The fight was amazingggg. I hated how she kept making it seem like Hagrid was dead or dying! I missed some things and will have to re-read. Definitely excellent! I love how JK always manages to keep humor in the books, even in the middle of the war and deaths. I would've like to see a little more in the epilogue, but it was cute all the same. I really haven't read any reviews of people that didn't like the book. LONG LIVE HARRY!!

i loved this one. this and ootp are tied for my favorite. but i was slightly upset by the ending. it was confusing and i had to make a list of whose kid was whose. left allot of questions but all toghter a cute ending showing that it was defently harry/ginny and ron/hermiene.all toghter this book rocked.i was dispointed that some things that jkr said were in the book weren't in there but i guess its ok. i was soo upset about all the deaths but fred upset me the worst. i was suprised at dobbys death though mostly because acording to the mugglenet book he had a 100/1 chance of living though the book.but i think jkr is amazzing and this book was awsome.

i loved the book. really. i couldn't stop crying after i had read it because it finally hit me that harry potter is at last over. we know all the answers. gahhh. its still hitting me. anyway, i was pleased with the epilogue. it leaves a little bit open, sure, but that is her style. i know that we still have some questions that need to be answered, but what if she just decided to change the plot a little? maybe that's why we don't know who used magic later in life [even though i think its dudley, and how he was nice to harry. the magic of love. jk can twist us around, can't she?]. i loved how harry called voldemort tom at the end and everything. it was just epic. the battle was epic, the way harry was feigning death was epic, the way that neville pulled the sword out of the hat was grand. loved it all. and many people don't like the epilogue, but that's the part that made me cry the most. especially when harry is explaining to albus that one of the bravest men he knew was in slytherin, and how the hat would give him a choice. i BAWLED. all in all, great great book.

I would like to have Jo write a book from Ginny's point of view of the whole story. I think that would be really interesting. Maybe not a whole series but one big, giant book. That would be GREAT!

I don't know what u are talking about! The book was the best of all the other books. IT was really long and i kind of like the epliogue, becauce we know harry married Ginny. And Ron married Hermoine. So i knew that Snape was not evil. But him loving Lily like that was a shock! But we should have known who victorie is. Any whays BEST BOOK EVER!

i think that Jo outdid herself! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! and to those who critisized it, how else could it of been written?

I loved it! My favorite book out of the whole series. I was a little angry at some of the deaths and the unanswered questions. It is good to know however that I wasn't the only one who cried as Harry walked to his "death". I am so happy that he lived!

All in all, it was completely fantastic! I was extremely excited about mugglent correctly guessing so many things. You guys are so intelligent. And Harry. He died, yet he survived. It so completely perfect! Not to mention the wonderful couples-Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione...although I must say that I was completely devastated about Tonks and Lupin dying. But nothing could have been worse than Fred. How could they!? Stupid Rookwood!!!! Which reminds me of Percy. Yay Percy! I totally forgive him. But now, the part which I have been dreading. The critique of it. That stupid epilogue. I just hated it! It was so...so sappy! All throughout the book, I was just amazed at how beautifully Jo had written it. I could tell that she was trying to put her best work forward, and it just delighted me. But then the epilogue was like she completely did not try as she did for the rest of the books. Although I'm not the author, and I most likely sound like a complete moron by saying this, if I had written the epilogue, I would say something about the next few months, who lived, who died and then ended with something about Harry being excited for the next adventure, because I would prefer an open ending with adventure and excitement over a neatly tied one. I wouldn't even care if she point blank refused to write another book, and there are probably millions of people (if they knew I said this) that want to nail snakes to my door, but I really like an interesting, open ending. Besides that, everything was completely and totally FABULOUS!!! Oh, and I couldn't stop laughing when Hermione started punching Ron and said, "I will NOT calm down!" So, that's my opinion:)

Wow. I cried when Harry was walking to his death and when snape died and when fred died too. Its so freakin SAD! and can anyone answer the question for me: Victoire, the girl james is talking about in the end, who's daughter is she? Ron and Hermione's or one of the other weasley boys's?

loved it!!! i cried when dobby died, when fred died, when harry was going to face voldemort, when i finished to last chapter, when i finished the epilouge, when i told my mom i finished, and the next morning, too, just for kicks.honnestly, though, i would have prefered an epilouge that was like : harry potter grew up to be a sucsessful auror, married ginny, and had x number of kids named blah, blah and blah. hermione granger took spew to a new level, etc etc. (but of course better than my terrible writing). but still..... loved it thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. i just cant believe its over. forever.

I LOVE YOU SNAPE!!!! Poor Snape : ( I bawled like a baby from the end of "Elden Wand"

DH is the best book of the entire septology. I was deeply moved both by Harry's discovery of "Potterwatch" and by Snape's undying love for Lily. I was OK with the pairings in DH because thankfully, Rowling only used romance to dimensionalize the characters' lives, not to drive the plot. I was thankful for the epilogue because as readers, we needed to see the fruits of Harry's conquest. It wasn't enough to leave the magical world in shambles. However, the epilogue would have been more satisfying if it had taken place 6 months to a year later, describing what happened in the immediate aftermath of the war. The here and now is always more relevant than a far-off future. It felt unfamiliar because it was written in a completely different style. Gone was the sense of intimacy with Harry. I felt like I had parted with a brother and then when I next saw him, I hardly knew him. Otherwise, what a masterpiece!

@teamneville: Teddy is only seeing Victoire off- he is not going to school. Only "criticism" here: We are actually there when the train leaves but we don't see Teddy leave the train before that. Maybe he left without Harry- lost in thought- noticing but I would have loved to "get a glimpse" at Teddy Lupin. Fleur wasn't pregnant during DH or did I miss that? So Victoire would be younger than Teddy. Maybe she is leaving for her final year at Hogwarts? I really think she has to be the daughter of Fleur and Bill (cousin of Harry's children/French name)- that would mean that both children whose father is/was (sobs) a werewolf/wolfish ended up together.

Well the hordes of "Harry is a horcrux" fans must be giggling to themselves with glee. I liked the alot! I was only disappointed in by a few things: Voldemort is known to overlook things he disdains but his depiction in the books goes from arrogant to outright moronic! He actually thought that NOBODY else would have found the Room or Requirement?! WHAT?! I guess he just ignored the mountains of items hidden there by THOUSANDS of other students and teachers over centuries. Also, at no point did he wonder to himself that if he had split his soul at Lily's murder, what became of the "other" part? Once he learned of the diary's destruction, he didn't want to check to make sure the other horcruxes were okay? BTW, there should have been a portrait of Snape in the Headmaster's Office at the end. I was also disappointed with the Epilogue. Who is MoM then? What is Mr. Weasley doing? Is Harry an Auror or is he a Qidditch player? Interesting that Fudge was never mentioned in the entire book. But the WORST part was that Umbridge did not get her comeuppance!! She needed to get Crucio'd many times over, get a dementor's kiss, transfigured into a toad, or SOMETHING! She merely got stupefied and hit her head. Big deal! She really needed to learn of Harry's defeat of Voldemort and live with the humiliation that he had been right all along and that she willingly collaborated with evil. She should have lived her remaining years in ostracism. Like I said, I liked it alot but I was hoping to like it more.

I love how this comments section is ever expanding- the hundreds of Potter fans online, all visiting MuggleNet, writing their thoughts on Deathly Hallows... I love it! :) Well, i thought the book was just mind-blowing. I'm pretty sure i whispered, 'Oh my GOODNESS!' to myself out loud a few times, whilst gripping the book as tightly as i could from excitement. I loved the many unpredictable and supremely clever twists JK Rowling created. I wish i could *obliviate* my memory so i could re-read it without knowing what is going to happen with the next turn of the page. It was all so magical, and moving (i have never cried so much as i did when Dobby died... I'm still mourning) and REAL. Still can't believe it's over, i'm in denial and am currently refusing to think such a thought. I just hope JK writes an Encyclopedia, there are SO MANY things i still want to know! My favourite book of the series, well done Jo! :)

Harry and Ginny should have named their boys Gred and Forge. Fred would have liked that.

J.K has written a fantastic novel the seventh time in a row.she has failed to tie up some loose ends though,but don't get me wrong its a great book.she goes out of her way to everybody love to hate snape but now snape is everyones most liked and favorite characters.it is a great book once again(just needed to be said).

Absolutely brilliant!!! I loved it. I am so sad to have now lost my "ink and paper" friend. But I think she ended it well. I can't wait to see the end between Harry and Voldemort on the big screen in 2010!

Okay, first of all: everyone needs to re-examine the epilogue, bc everyone's all disappointed with it and I think it was PERFECT. It showed a few things: 1) That even though Harry never got to live with and express his love to his parents James and Lily, he was able to pay it forward and be with his children James and Lily. So in away, in the end, Harry gets this heart's desire-- James and Lily 2) Harry went from having absolutely no family, the closest he had to family being Ron and Hermione, to actually having Ron and Hermione as REAL family. Through marriage to Ginny, that makes Ron his brother (in law) and thru Ron's marrying Hermione she is his now sister. Arthur and Molly have pretty much adopted him, they're his parents (in-law) now. Just the fact that Harry finally gets to be part of a big happy family at last-- nonetheless the same family now as Ron and Hermione, whom he's loved like siblings-- was enough for me! And we DID hear more about other characters, people. 1) Draco is married and has a kid (Scorpius) 2) Bill and Fleur have a daughter around Teddy Lupin's age called Victoire (it's a FRENCH name, people, stop acting dumb like you don't know who Victoire is...) 3) orphaned Teddy Lupin is close to possiby marrying into the big happy Weasley family, just like Harry was orphaned and married into the big Weasley family 4) Neville teaches Herbology at Hogwarts The epilogue gave waaay more information and went deeper than everyone took it to be. It was a perfect, happy ending to what had been becoming a dark and tragic and depressing tale. It was a perfect balance. See the light, people!

I think a lot of people are forgetting a major piece of the puzzle. It's a book, you are supposed to use your imagination to fill in the blanks and make the pieces fit. Victoire is Bill and Fleur's daughter, Teddy had grandparents and lived with them but spent a lot of time with Harry, Harry and Ron are aurors (because that's what they always wanted to do) and Neville is the Herbology prof at Hogwarts (as he always wanted). Ginny and Hermoine are stay at home mom's (5 magical children between them, they wouldn't have time for anything else!!) Who came into his magic late? Neville did, he struggled his entire time during school, he finally started catching on with the DA, Luna has taken over the Quibbler in constant search of Snorkacks or something, and Lily and James were aurors, as the Longbottoms were. Are all of these things true? In my mind they are and that's all that matters. I say excellent job, JKR. I thoroughly enjoyed the final installment in the life of Harry Potter, including the epilogue. I'd love to see companions or follow ups on the lives of the survivors.

Amazing book! One question though: how did Godric Gryffindor's sword stolen by the Goblin Griphook end up in sorting hat at Hogwarts? Did I read too fast and miss something?

It appears as if most of you are satisfied with the book, I dont know but I found the story very weak compared to the impeccable stuff Rowling comes up with. Not Rowling standard.... Harry Potter became what it started out as----a brilliant children's book, nothing more, nothing less

How do cats play a role in the story? What was the significance of Harry having his mothers eyes? Who is the person that demonstrates magic later in life? What is this supposed shocking fact we're to learn about Petunia? THESE ARE ALL QUESTIONS JO DIDN'T ANSWER!!!!! Aside from that, we never found out who (out of Grindelwald and Dumbledore) actually did send the curse at Ariana.... I doubt it was DD because that would have meant he used Avada Kedavra.... And what the hell is all this about Wormtail strangling himself? And why should Draco get the elder wand he chickened out! And in the [crappy] epilogue, they say Draco and "his wife". Who the hell is his wife? And we were supposed to find out more about Tom Riddle's past; oooh that he flattered a ghost? Well done, Jo! (I mean that BOTH sarcastically and serenly).............

The book was wonderful! I laughed and cried through the whole thing! There was a lot of deaths though, were they all really necessary? I'm very sad the series has come to an end. I hope J.K. Rowling will change her mind and write more about this wonderful, magical world.

Fred's, Remus', and Tonks' deaths were very sad. Some of the plot points were confusing, but I think I will understand it better when I reread it. Snape rocked. Neville was so cool. I knew Harry was going to live. The Malfoy family was pretty intrestng as well, I loved thier sudden change of heart because they cared more about thier family in the end. Did anyone else notice the Bible verse in chapter sixteen. It was on Dumbledore's sister's grave. "Where You treasure is your heart will be also"- that is Matthew 6:21. Who ever sad Harry Potter was anti-Christian. I could make a million religious connections. Like how they always ccall it Christmas and Easter breaks and refer to religious X-mas carols. Or references to living after death both in this book and in the fifth book. I am a Christian and I can't see why HP is so hated. I mean, it obvesiouly a fantasy. And it is such a moralistic tale. It talks about the value of life and good verses evil and prejudice and tons of other things. I could go on, but you proabaly don't want me to rant any more.

i think everyone can agree that the book was BEYOND amazing, but left us thirsty for information on the fate of our other favorite characters *coughgeorgecough*

What my question is, is how did the trio finish @ Hogwarts? I know in the end Harry said all he wanted to do was go to his 4 poster bead in Gryffindor Tower, but was the room still his?? He wasn't exactly still enrolled @ Hogwarts, not that he dis-enrolled either. So since neither of the trio actually showed up for 7th year, did they get the wizards form of a GED to complete their education?? Oh well, I'll wait til' the forums open and post there. Great book none the less. :)

I quite enjoyed this particular book but, like many people, did not particularly care for the Epilogue. It itself almost seemed a bit tacked on, as someone had mentioned the last line of the book to be (to which I agree, but I'm not sure who said it). One of the (multiple) questions that still remains unanswered (for me) is of Draco's Patronus. That question has been bothering me since Half-Blood Prince, and still remains unanswered, much to my disappointment. In the FAQ section on JKR's website, she mentioned that as of the end of HPB, it was unknown whether or not he even knew *how* to produce one. But with the events of Deathly Hallows, I'm wondering why he wouldn't be able to produce one now. The Dementor's were working along side Lord Voldemort - wouldn't Draco learn or be taught that particular spell during this time to keep them at bay from himself? It's obvious he's already in a form of personal hell, so I'd imagine he'd be on the paralyzed side if confronted with them head on. Likewise, I can also imagine his mother teaching him that spell if they (the Dementors) were affecting him to help ward them off. One of the main reasons I'm so curious actually stems from Snape. I heard (I didn't read the article myself) that JKR herself refused to say what Snape's Patronus was because it gave too much of him (personality wise n' whatnot) away. I'm wondering if the same couldn't be said of Draco - that knowing his Patronus would also allow a bit more of his own personality to be glimpsed from the animal that came from his wand. (Draco's character has always been a fascination of mine, as well. Ambitious Slytherin people run together or something of that fashion, I'd reckon.) .... And I have seriously rambled, but that caught my attention first.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! So happy with the outcome. Sad about the deaths, but still and awesome book. Best in the series. Epilogue was a bit of a disappointment, but oh well. Can't wait to see this book as a movie. Should be interesting. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was the best book I've ever read and will read. I got so scared when Kingsley Shacklebolt sent the patronus saying that the Ministry had fallen and that Rufus Scrimager was dead. I thought that all the deaths in the book made them all less emotional and sad, but I knew that the deaths caused the book to be as powerfull and meaningfull as it was. In the middle of the book I thought of Dumbledore as a crule, hurtfull and lying sort of person but then I realised that all that he did in his past made him the better person he was at the end of the book. I thought it was so sad and totally unfair how Snape was inlove with Lily all his life and the way he just died. But I did think he was kind of stupid to call her a Mudblood when he loved her and how he was so mean to Lily's own son. I cried after hearing Snapes story and I thought it was completly heart wrenching that he looked into Harry's eyes before he died to look at a part of Lily. I didnt totally lose control intill Harry found out he was going to have to die and when he seen his parents, Lupin, and Sirius. It was really cool when Harry went to 'Kings Cross' and seen Dumbledore but I thought it was really confusing when Dumbledore said 'Of corse this his happening in your head, by why on earth would that mean its not real'. My favourite line in the whole book was when Molly said to Bellatrix "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU girl!". I was awsome! I was kinda dissapoited about the epilogue though. I thought it should have been discribing what happened to all the characters who survived. But I thought it was so sweet how Harry named his son Albus Severus and how he said that Snape was the bravest man he ever knew. Over all I thought The Deathly Hallows was an amazing book and would read it over and over again.

ZOMG!!!!! I absolutely luuuuuuurved the book!!! It has most certainly replaced POA as my favourite in the series XD. For me it was like being on an emotional rollercoaster, one minute I was crying with greif and the next I was crying with laughter (ear ear!!) . I loved the bit where we out all about Snape, I felt so sorry for him =(. Also when Harry was preparing to die I don't think that I've cried so much as I did then over any book ever!!! But it was all gd when he came back and whipped Voldy's toosh =p I totally agree with everyone over the epilouge! It was cute to see that Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione had got married and had kids and everything but for me it seemed a bit fanfic-esque and I swear that I've read one where Ron and Hermione have kids called Rose and Hugobut maybe thats just me imagining things. Oh yeah and there's still so many tiny wee loose ends that I really want to know the answers to!!!!!!!... oh well I still think the book rocked my socks into next century but I'm a tad sad that its all over!

After scanning over alot of these comments I am very curious as to why everyone dislikes the epilogue so much. I thought that it, along with the rest of the book, was FANTASTIC. What more could you expect from the epilogue? Yes, it was lighthearted and yes, the main themes of the books have been dealing with death and loss. So what else would be expected in the epilogue? Harry twenty years down the road still acting like an angry, brooding teenager...heavily carrying the burdens of all the griefs of his past?...or maybe just a listing of all the characters telling what they went on to do? Nooo. The epilogue was perfect. It showed that all of that grief and all of that loss and all of the horrible things that went on did not squash out all the good in the world and in the lives of Harry and his freinds. It showed that even after all the pain losing loved ones can cause life goes on... and so does the memory of those who have left it. That not only goes with the theme that the books have had, dealing with death and loss, That IS dealing with death and loss. Great Story! I'm going to miss it. but I'll deal:)
