LOL. Do you have statistics about most people? I can say with 
certainty that A LOT of people on this list and elsewhere in fandom 
(this list is the only place in fandom I post and visit often, but 
sometimes I go to other sites) expressed dislike of the book 7 AND 
series as whole, which is their right, but even on this list I, know 
quite a few people who loved book 7 and accordingly their love for 
the series did not diminish one bit.

AND what I find the most interesting, although again those cannot be 
statistics since I do not know too many HP fans unrelated to this 
list in RL, NOBODY whom I know in RL disliked the last book either.

They thought it was a great ending to the great series. 

So, yeah, I think the series will stand up test of time myself, just 
not sure about validity of evaluating "most people" POV.

* now there was little to nothing good about the DH, but I think the
next generation will still love the books like we first did

Yep, I loved all those great moments that you listed, but there was 
little to nothing good about DH?

I loved the story of the teenager going to die to save his house elf.

I loved seeing how accomplished Hogwarts teachers are in the magical 
arts. Minerva's triple patronuses were fascinating if you ask me and 
her battle with Snape as well.

I absolutely LOVED seeing Lucius Malfoy and his son waiting for a 
sign from Narcissa how to behave with Voldemort.

I cried when Dobby died and Harry was burying him, I thought it was 
very well written.

I was holding my breath when Ron was trying to destroy the Horcrux 
and battled his demons.

I thought Aberworth Dumbledore rocked as a character.

OMG, I cried and cried when Harry was walking through the forest.

And yes I was soooo happy to read that sacharine epilogue. I was 
always sure that Harry wanted family of his own and was so glad that 
he got it at the end.

Those are just random moments I loved in the last book and I can name 
plenty more.

But I do agree about next generation, hehe.

JMO,
