my take on the deathly hallows (may contain spoilers)

No: HPFGUIDX 172320


after reading the book and taking some time to think
on it (with help re: re-reading parts) here is what i
feel on the book:

i liked the book, maybe not LOVED the book but i liked
it. 

i do have parts i liked and parts i didn't

what i liked:

- Dumbledore's past. cool, awsome--couldn't have
guessed JK would have come up with that and i felt it
worked.

- felt vindicated that it was LILY that had snape
working for good.

- felt vindicated that it was LILLY and her magic
abilities that soured petunia against the wizarding
world.

- liked the fact that molly kicked belatrix's butt

- was glad lupin and tonks got married and had a son.


parts i didn't like:

- the fact a number of deaths were rushed (ie;
remus/tonks and moody)

- the fact the dursleys were not mentioned again as a
family unit after the first chapter and it was not
discussed as to if they ever returned to their lives
and did harry REALLY never see them again...

- the fact that nothing was mentioned of what the
potters did (seeing as it HAD been stressed that what
they did for a living was important) and maybe a hint
of how they defied lord V.

- and the epilouge


i had wanted an epilouge but more along the lines of a
'dear reader' or something of a narrtive where a line
or two was devoted to each characture saying what
happened/where they went and what happened to the
wizarding world in gen. and giving the reader a sense
that life got on after lordV died.

well that is my 2 cents worth
