Love it.  That doesn't mean that I don;t recognize that there are unanswered
questions,etc, but overall, I love this book!

Okay specifics.  Hedwig's death upset me. I understand that she would have
been hard to have along for the journey, but she could have been left with
Pig and Crookshanks! Madeye's death was sad, but he died as a warrior would
want to. Same with Dobby. Yes I cried, but at least Dobby died helping his
idol and friend Harry Potter. The deaths that were hardest for me were Lupin
and Tonks. I'm glad she killed both of them, though, rather than only one.
Either of the twins will regroup and continue to live a healthy productive
life, but either Tonks or Lupin might have reverted into despondency, even
with Teddy to raise, so its better that both die than only one.

Even though I never liked Percy I'm glad he finally got some good sense! It
was good to have his character involved in the HP camp during the last
battle.

I was glad to see the Snape/Lily story finally and learn a little bit about
Petunia's knowledge of the WW. It would have been nice to find out if they
went back to normalcy after Voldemort was defeated, but its not really all
that important. Hopefully Dudley's change of Heart was permanent, though.

The characters we know nothing about 19 years later aren't really essential
to the story. Yeah, it would be nice to know about some of them, but its not
essential.  I guess I'll just let my imagination go into overdrive. Its good
at that.
