Alla:

Awww, I want to play too. I snipped most of your list which I loved 
as well.

I am going to add more on those two and give some of mine.

I loved loved loved that JKR made a point that Harry did not want to 
kill if he could since the beginning of the book during their first 
encounter with DE and ending with fight with Voldie.

I **loved** Dumbledore with dark past and so IMO full of remorse. 
Trust me, I did not expect to love such Dumbledore, I thought that 
if I will learn that Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him, I would 
hate him.

I felt DD remorse as real, when he is looking to Harry as little boy 
seeking reassurance, I felt sooo much for him.


Moving on. Loved Ron **making a choice to come back** and save 
Harry's life. Loved Ron destroying horcrux and how his doubts 
materialised in Riddle Harry and Riddle Hermione. That was a cool 
writing in my view and Ron triumphed. I love Ron, did I mention that 
I love Ron?

Oy, so loved Trio on camping trip - what dan said earlier.


I loved how Dobby's death was described - SO moving, so tear jerker 
for me.


I absolutely adored the radio show in support of Harry, one of the 
few funny and heroic moments for me in the book.

LOVED Trio saving Muggleborns from that awful  registration room.

What else? Loved, loved, loved Harry walking to his death, 
everything about that scene. So well done if you ask me. I could 
literally feel how much he did not want to do that ( counting heart 
beats) and he still kept walking. Was so very proud of Harry.


What else? Oh yeah, you said it but I loved Molly and what Narcissa 
did as well.

I actually thought that Narcissa Malfoy made a choice bigger than 
her son did.


I loved Minerva in this book. Her directing preparations to the 
battle of Hogwarts was awesome.

Loved Aberforth.
