Tammy's Reply:

I can live with the whole 'Snape loved Lily just like in all the silly
fan fictions' part of the plotline. But ending the whole series with
an epilogue that could have been written by any sappy 13-year-old fan
fiction writer is just unforgivable. It's the same ending that all the
really bad fan fictions have, and I for one expected a lot more from
JK Rowling. 

I agree with others that this book overall, and especially the
epilogue, felt rushed. I would have waited another year just to have
it all finished properly. I would have liked to have seen a flash
forward not of 19 years, but just a few weeks/months to see everyone
still dealing with the aftermath of the big battle and the end of the
war.
