Overall Opinion

[digby202]

What did you guys think?

Aside from the final chapter/epilogue I enjoyed it very much.

Perhaps a little predictable for some of you(us) who scrutinized waayyy too much!
Very enjoyable and enlightening though

[Scellanis]

I loved it, so exciting... My fave book I think

[Run Away!!!]

I agree with Digby, i didn't like the final epilogue and I thought it was way too predictable. I mean, Regulas WAS rab, Harry WAS a horcrux, Snape WAS good, Snape DID love Lily. Wow... none of us totally saw any of that coming.

[Simatra]

Yes, but Run Away, it was they way it all spilled out. It's now my new favorite. Even above my beloved PoA.....Who here thinks that Harry's son's middle name is Sirius?

But Harry walking right into his own death, not defending himself, was the hardest chapter to get though, just because it was so...dang....good....

My least favorite chapters were propbely Shell Cotage and Gringots, they were predictible and a little boring.

[Run Away!!!]

I can't say I was suprised at anything that happened in the entire book, I pretty much saw everything coming before it happened.

[Simatra]

Some of the things, but I still loved it!

[Run Away!!!]

Even at the end where you find out from Snape that Harry has to die I was like "I knew JK would try and kill him off" and then my next comment was "He's probably going to die and then come back to life"
And that is what it was like for me the entire way through the book.

[Simatra]

I sisn't know what to think when it happened, only that I had to keep reading! I was so into it that I can't say I really thought about was they were doing.....

[Run Away!!!]

Hehehe lucky for you then, everytime something happened I predicted what wuld come next. I didn't even really stop to think about it... these things just come to my mind as I kept reading.

[Phinea Rogue]

Yes, Run Away, I agree, it was quite predictable, nearly the whole book, it disappointed me a bit. (Lily and Snape, oh) Before this book, JKR always wrote something that no fan and fanfiction could have though of, she was full of suprises. However, I liked the book, pity it's the last one, there're many questions she didn't answer and I'd like to know the answers.

So, how do you guys feel about the whole book? Did it live up to your expectations, or was it below par?

[DucksRMagical]

I loved it. It definitely lived up to my expectations. But the epilogue wasn't very good, imo. It didn't tell you about what happened to most of the characters. It seemed to almost open up a new storyline for new books, but she said she doesn't intend to write anymore. Although I do hope she changes her mind.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

i think it didn't seem to be quite jk's style, the whole take-over-the-ministry-and-hogwarts thing. but was very good, although when harry walked into the woods to die i couldn't stop crying.

[Eol]

I thought it was great, my favourite by far, especially as we learned so much about Dumbledore.

The epilogue was a bit abrupt, but it shows us enough. Ron and Hermione are together with two kids, as are Harry and Ginny. Teddy Lupin is doing okay and Bill and Fleur had a daughter called Victoire.

[Scellanis]

I thought it was great, best so far
