I didn't cry but it was rather sad... I mean It just happened out of nowhere, I couldn't believe she killed that character off... Many of the other deaths just seemed random as well...
I feel like I have read the book already. I just can't stop myself from reading spoilers. Good thing I care more for the text rather than "how it ends".

I have to admit, I have had very very few gripes about any of the Harry Potter books/movies, etc.I really really liked #7. EXCEPT FOR THE STINKY epilogue!!
I am trying to justify this. Maybe I was expecting too much, and after you have had 6 awesome hits, it would be kind of hard to continue to duplicate. However, I was glad to see that Harry didn't die at the end....but to get married and have kids with Ginny somewhat irked me...lol. To this moment, I have no clue why. I guessed Ron and Hermione....and was fine with that one. I just think that she should have stopped right before the...... "19 years later...."
I think it was more to cement the theme/moral/lesson throughout the books about "choices" and whatnot... It was all about that part where he talked to his son in the end... Although it would have been funny if the last words have been "until now" instead...
Well, I guess she wanted us to know that Ron and Hermione did in fact get together.I have to admit, I have had very very few gripes about any of the Harry Potter books/movies, etc.
"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
an that that was her way of showing that voldamort was truely gone, which i think was the purpose of the 19 years later bit, even if it was extremely cheesy. Also i think it was to show that he finally realised the truth of Snape and excepted that he was a brave man. Hence one of his sons being called Albus severus.
That really made me sobby in the book when he's seeing snapes memories...

...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
The way they present Harrys death and ressurection is kind of religious, like he is being sacrificed for the good of the world.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

Yeah, then some people come over and say "Harry Potter is really a book on satanism!"

did anyone else see the connections between Voldamort and his death eaters, and Hitler and the Nazis?

Well, if we suggest that the death mark is like the nazi symbol... and so on... but I think it's kind of far-fetched.
I prefer to avoid such connections, I only make such connections with things that I really like and it comes out bizzare anyway...

yep, lots of reviews over here
i think they have a point, considering the Death Eaters racial ideology, their muggle-born registration thingy... Voldy's dad was a muggle and he's obsessed with pure blood, styling himself as the purest pure blood wizard of all... Hitler was an Austrian (an illegitimate son of a woman who was also married to her second cousin) who wanted to be the "purest" German of all times... his original last name was Schicklgruber...
i think it's interesting to draw these parallels... What would be so frightening and repulsive about Tommy Boy if there was no connection to 'real life'?
just because Voldy is a powerful wizard doesn't necessarily make him scary. it 's his aims and his means of reaching them that make him evil, not his powers as such.
.. by the way, I finished the book last night, and I was sooooooooooo proud of Snape...
of course, there were lots of theories (based on next to zero evidence) that he was in love with Lily..., so it was kind of predictable... but it was balm for my weary soul to read "The Prince's Tale" (ch. 33). he was a real hero, to protect the Potter brat for 17 years and spy on Voldy.
Snape
when I have a son I'll name him Severus (my b.f. doesn't like the idea at all)
