I haven't posted here in at least two months - not because I hate JKR
or hate the series but because it is done, over and I've moved on to
something else. That happens.
I also love the Anne of Green Gables series, and occasionally drop in
to a message board devoted to all things Anne, but I don't visit every
day.
And I collect Trixie Belden and other "girl detective" series from the
40's and 50's and belong to a couple of online communities devoted to
them, but again, I don't visit every day.
Now that the HP saga has concluded and the questions answered,
mysteries resolved, HP has simply become another one of those things
of which I am fond and think about from time to time.
And for me, yes all the important questions have been answered. The
ones that JKR left unanswered were apparently not important to the
story. So there's really no point, IMO, in dwelling on them. If it is
an issue that particular nags at me, I just make something up.
Now in the interests of full disclosure, I was one of the people
disappointed in DH. And my way of handling that disappointment was to
literally re-write the book to my satisfaction. I would never pretend
that my writing is on par with JKR's, but I don't think the plot
twists and ideas I had for DH are any worse than the ones she used!
I was deeply upset back in July - felt so let down by DH and by JKR.
But I'm over it now and still enjoy the first six books and certain
parts of DH.
