MusicalBetsy here:
Oh, I feel the same way!  What about when Dumbledore actually starts 
crying, and Harry reaches out to comfort him?  It's really come full 
circle now.  Dumbledore really shows his humanity here.  I loved how 
he admitted to Harry how selfish he was after his mother died.  This 
chapter is so powerful!  

And then everything else comes full circle in the next chapter: 
Neville taking on Voldy, Mrs. Weasley taking out Bellatrix, and of 
course, I love the scene where Harry is fighting Voldy.  But I did 
wish that there was a "Ginny running into Harry's arms for the big 
finale kiss" scene. <g>  But I guess JKR felt that Fred's death would 
just be too painful for a reunion yet.  

Oh, but I also loved McGonagoll's anguish when she thinks Harry has 
died!  Just everything in those two chapters was powerful.  And 
although I wanted more info in the epilogue, I was okay with it -
 "Albus Severus" pretty much said it all for me.

MusicalBetsy, glad to know I'm not alone
