This is the one that struck me the most: after all the build-up in book
six, along come the Deathly Hallows to derail them as a major plotline.
It was almost like trying to listen to a radio tuned halfway between two
radio stations.

Lynda:

During the interveening time between books 5 and 6 I would read the posts on
this and other HP forums and think to myself, "there are an awful lot of
people who are convinced that the next book is going to being Harry and Co.
chasing/hunting the horcruxes and I think that they are going to be sadly
disappointed because I have a nagging suspicion that there is still more to
come!"  And there was. The Hallows. Well, maybe one reason I'm not as upset
with some is that I never expected this book to be one endless hunt for
horcruxes, so when finding and destroying them turned out to be relatively
easy and there was some new material for them to work out, that is, the
hallows I was not so surprised, but rather glad to see the new storyline
develop.
