Sarah devil's advocate once again:
I like MacGuffins and I like Horcruxes.  :)  There was a miniseries on
Sci-Fi Channel recently about this motel room where all the occupant's
belongings (comb, pen, razor, etc.) had gotten turned into magical
objects with different powers.  Awesome!

I don't think the name of the book changes much.  The path has been
pretty clear since HBP.  It's a lot to wrap up but I don't consider it
a waste of time any more than say, the Triwizard Tournament Where
Barty Couldn't Just Turn Harry's Toothbrush Into a Portkey For Reasons
Never Explained.  I think it can be pulled off.

I guess my question for those who are disappointed is, what was the
expectation?  Is there a formula for the last book that you would have
been happier with?  More of a war story, maybe?

Sarah
