Run Away this particular thread says in the title 'spoiler free' even if you think what you said was all predicted and obvious its all still spoilers as you just confirmed it was in the book...

You could have just said you were dissapointed because it was very predictable for you.

This is now my favourite book...also above my beloved PoA Simatra.

Yes, I agree it was predictable...but there were many suprises! :grin:

Thought it was spectacular. They way she plays with your emotions in the last 100 pages. Stunning.

Just to so everyone knows, this thread was originally two threads so that is why some people like me posted our opinions twice before this post. Just to avoid confusion, carry on now.

I was very emotional with this one! The only other time I was real emotional was when Dumbledore died.

Fantastic. Even the chapters you said were boring were still more exciting than most of the rest of the series, it's just in comparison with some of the exciting scenes in this book...

Awesome, I feel really satisfied. And I don't think it matters whether its predictable, to be honest it was never that much of a mystery Voldemort was going to die, the important factor and what makes the book great is whether the journey is any good, and it definitely is.

I thought the ending was great, and by the ending I mean The Flaw in the Plan, not the epilogue, but that was okay really, I thought it was nice.

Snape really did turn out to be the tragic character... I thought the chapter with his memories was really sad.

But I have to tell you, more than anything else in the entire book, the only death that had me a little emotional was Dobby's.

I think he was the true hero of the story.

loved the book but by far not JKR's best work IMO. Aside from being a bit predictable, a lot of things felt rushed to finish -- what I mean is, it felt like she was quickly tying ends just to get it done.
