Well, first of all - I liked this final book, I think it is a good answer to the most questions and an adequate finale for a great series of books.

But, really, this Epilogue - in my opinion it's one of the weakest chapters in the entire HP narration, and to have it on the very last pages hurts a bit.

Maybe my expectations were too high? Possible, but I don't think so. I
didn't expect pages of explanations, political revolutions, cleanup in the Ministry. But I expected a little bit more than sheer sweetness, at least some shades of ... violet in the pink picture, if you understand what I mean.

Harry finding his private luck after saving the world - ok. But after so
much blood in the final book, I don't think it's a good move to put not a single piece of loss, of  grief, or any kind of shadow into the Epilogue.
