 It felt really rushed - we have 4 horcruxes destroyed, a bunch of deaths,
an epic battle, Voldemort's demise, Harry being dead/undead, and
happily ever after - all in a few chapters, as opposed to 3,000 pages
of build-up

Lynda:

Well, we knew that this was the last book. We knew that (at least I
expected) the horcruxes would be destroyed, there was bound to be an epic
battle; its simply the way evil overlords are usually destroyed, in an epic
battle. We also knew (again at least I expected) Voldemort to be
vanquisshed, more than likely by death. Harry's death/undeath was not really
unexpected either. And as for the happily ever after part, I choose to
imagine that as people do, he, in is fictional life continues to face the
many problems of adulthood, marriage, parenthood and career expectations.
But that's just me.
