Just received this from a non potterhead friend of mine....always 
good to have the less obsessive take I think...


then we got those two dreadful chapters: the prince's story, that 
just went on and on forever, and was so dull. needed a lot of 
pruning, that one. and i wasn't convinced that harry would spring 
from hating snape to thinking him one of the bravest wizards ever on 
the strength of knowing he got a hard on ever time he saw his 
mother. bit odd, that. and dumbledore's explanation of the wands and 
horcruxes and whatever. long, boring, lost me, and had a certain air 
of pointlessness; not subtle i think, just very very convoluted, i 
made it through the blood bit, which made sense, but the wands? out 
with the red editing pen. reminded me of studying logarithms (which 
i can't even spell, let alone do).

<snip and on to the epilogue>

she could have had more fun with this. 
fewer horrible kids with names that obviously mean they have to 
spend their entire childhood living up to dead people. hermione 
should have been hoggy headmaster by then
