Lynda:

OK, here goes:

What I liked (and for the most part expected)

Harry lives

Harry and Ginny get back togeher

Ron and Hermione get together finally

Both Molly and Arthur Weasley live

Tonks and Remus marry

Snape was working for DD all along, just like I thought

Only one Weasley is lost during the war.

Harry needed to be willing to be the ultimate sacrifice to survive

Neville (along with Harry's other gryffindor dorm mates) comes into his own


What I would have liked to see done differently


I was never a fan of Harry the horcrux. JKR did finally make it work for me,
though.

I would have liked to see Lupin and Tonks survive. Yes. Parents of young
children die in wars. That's life. But the orphan child being raised by
grandmother/godfather, etc has been done already by JKR--she got seven books
out of it. Expelliarmus anyone?

Hedwig's death got to me. She was caged and completely innocent. I also
would have liked to have gotten a glimpse of Harry's new pet if he got one
after the series completion.
