what does everyone thing of the ending, i found it a bit dismissive?

if that makes sence, its fantastic but i was interested in what the weasley family had to say when they thought harry was dead etc and hagrid, i was a bit dissappointed really, and i thought the 19 years later was a good idea but with such a gap before that it left a void.

i wanted some aftermath after the war, rebuilding etc of minestry n hoggys.

and i remained faithfull with severus till the end, i new he was a good guy and was it my imagination or did he say he cared for harry?

and dudley oh my god! "i dont think your a waste of space" awwwwwwww!

thats another thing i would of liked to of seen written, them meeting up after the war.

what deathes in the book supprised you the most and did you cry?

DOBBY AND HEDWIG! I BAWLED! i didnt with any other then those too,
im so glad harry named his son after snape and called him brave, it was touching lol, shame snape couldnt of been there really.....

Snape loved Lily. That's why his patronus was a doe (Lily's) and that's why he wanted to die looking into Harry's (Lily's) eyes. He didn't care about Harry at all, other than the fact he was Lily's son. (That's why he told Dumbledore he didn't care if Voldemort killed James and Harry, as long as he let Lily live.)

I liked the ending..the book would have been another 400 pages had she tied every loose end, and that can be done by imagination.

Fred Weasley was my favorite character. But I only cried a little as Harry was walking to the forest..the Dobby and Hedwig parts were so sad, though.

I thought the fact Harry named his son after Snape was a bit weird...yeah, Snape turned out to be good and a hero and everything, but the fact remains that he bullied Harry for six years and made his life hell for no reason...just found it kinda strange.

He should have named his son after Sirius, for God's sake.

I don't know, Albus Severus Potter has a certain ..err.. sonority to it.
That's the only part I actually laughed at.
Naming after Sirius would have been at least 1,000 times better.

Sure, Dobby's death was bewildering, but what about Lupin (my favorite) and Tonks? Right after they had their kid! And it was just a little footnote. At least Dobby had his own chapter (and burial and all).

I was furious with Lupin's death. He is my second favorite character, right after Sirius. I loved them both so much. He was finally happy ... and wham ... death. Horrible, JK, horrible. And Amour, I know exactly what you mean about their deaths being footnotes. I know I would have been even more emotional if they would have at least expanded on it a little, but it was just a sentence. I was shocked ... pretty much thinking it was a joke. Everyone was emotional about Dobby's death because it was so drawn out, while theirs was so neglected. =[

The epilogue was crap. Fan-fiction writers could do better than that.

I was sad when Hedwig, Dobby and Snape died... more shocked when Fred died cause I didn't expect that. And surprised when it was Narcissa Malfoy of all people who saves Harry from Voldemort.

Narcissa only saved them out of her own interests, though. She wanted some way to go back to the castle and see her son.

I think the decision to name the kid after Snape was the right one.

Fred's death shocked the hell out of me.

I thought that the epilogue was a bit lacking, and a little confusing. For a character that we've invested the last 10 years in, JK sure left a lot of time between the fall of Voldemort and the epilogue. So many questions not answered. Does Harry go back to Hogwarts and finish school? What profession does Harry go into. What kind of punishment is brought down to the surviving death eaters, etc...
