 Sarah said: 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?
 
  Oryomai (me!!!): Well...yes. I'm very afraid that DH (I still want to refer to it as Book Seven...) will turn into just finding Horcruxes. Harry isn't very...shall we say...good at multi-tasking? Once he gets an idea in his head, he goes with it -- we saw this during OoP when he HAD to rush to find Sirius and couldn't be persuaded to calm down for anything. I'm afraid he'll be running after Horcruxes and we'll just be following him. I would much rather the story be a war. That's what we're all waiting for. These books, for me, are a battle between good and evil. I think it would be an anti-climactic ending for there not to be a battle. I want OoP style battle! I want to see the characters we've watched grow up and develop their magic show what they can do. 
  I think a battle would be the perfect place to show Harry that he's not alone. Even after all the time Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Luna have helped him, he still thinks it's just him. He keeps telling Ron and Hermione, who have (for the most part) stood by him, that it's up to him to do this. The Boy Who Lived has a bit of a martyr complex as well. 
 
  Oryomai Who is fabulously happy to be back after a long college-related absence and is celebrating the New Year by pretending she doesn't have any work to do!
