WORTH CONSUMING!

I loved the Albus history. I had a feeling about Snape. I hate the epilogue. And in general I think the whole series brilliant in that it is readable, interesting, fun. I mean, sorry, but I always bog down in the Lord of the Rings stuff. And this creates a wonderful alternative world without it being so darn complicated. I love how with this, I can be out of touch with that alternative world and then, once I’m into the story, totally recall it.

My favorite is still #3. It’s the godfather thing no doubt.

Could I just have suggested that she spend more time on the anti-climax, letting the story resolve a bit without the need to jump ahead and create the happily ever after epilogue? Like, we could have gone to funerals, seen how the wizarding world was going to reorganize itself, and frankly, we could have used a little compassion toward Draco, a little fleshing out there would have completed the character. And made Harry finally better than his dad. Better even than Snape.

I agree about how I wish she’d fleshed out the aftermath more. I was glad to hear about Neville’s future and some of the others’. I’d have liked to know a few more details, tho. Who’s headmaster? professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts? etc. Missing those details didn’t ruin the book for me, or the epilogue, but it would have been a little something extra I’d have enjoyed.
