Without giving any of it way, I want to know who else is pissed off about the events that occured within the book? Anyone? *raises hand*

Well, I was really sad when I finished reading it. But it's a great book.

Beware, young folk, as you pass by.
As you are now, so once was I.
Typical Rowling, I guess. A lot of what happens is pretty predictable. Even so, it's more catchy than a show tune.
As I am now, you too shall be.
So, prepare for death, and follow me.

I'm reading it ever so thoroughly... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is my all time favourite book that I have ever read now heart
But I hate all the events that come through all of the characters... it's so heartbreaking! But I guess that's Rowling for you.

I thought it was a very good book. (Whited for spoilers.) But I wish we could have seen what happened to George after Fred died. And I also wish that the epilogue wasn't so very very cheesy.

I agree that a lot of it was sad, but I wouldn't say that it mad me angry with JK. Things like that just happen sometimes; not even the author has complete control over what happens after the characters are fully formed.

Right. Sometimes characters just have to die, even if the author herself doesn't wish for that to happen.

Agreed. And while I was sad about some of the characters who died, I think it also made a point about casualties in war, how they're unpredictable and unpreventable. [white text for spoilers] The way she just seems to gloss over Tonks and Lupin's death really brings this home, I think. We don't see them die, or why or how, but that's what war does to people. I was sad about that...I really liked Lupin.Good book though!

I though it was a good book, but was a little let down by the ending. I didn't feel she gave enough info about the characters. We don't know what happened to Dean or Luna as well as other, it said nothing about the new Minister of Magic or Headmaster and I would like to know how Malfoy avoided jail time. I did hear she is going to write an encyclopedia telling all the back stories of characters and what happened to them, but she said not to expect it any time soon because she was going to take a break from writing.

Rawr.
When I finished reading the book I was 'What the heck just happened?' but when I told my friend who hadn't finished the book about it, I was 'I loved it!'. I didn't realize until later that I was being slightly hypocritical in the fact that I hated the plot holes I figured out after I read it (and the pairings), but somehow loved the book. So all in all, it was an alright way to end the series, but felt rushed.

I am upset mostly over the epilogue, followed rightfully by the excessive whiney-ness of RON...That and how she decided to end it. I would love to rant on in more detail, but I'm going to refrain from doing so for the sake of those who haven't finished the book.

I laughed...a lot. The ending was sad. The epilouge (Spelling?) sucked a**...

The epilogue was ridiculous, and so very corny. And there was a large period of time in the middle where I was just bored. [spoiler in white] I mean, for Christ's sake, they wandered around for a decent portion of the book looking for horcruxes, but NOTHING was actually happening!!! "Ah, now we're lost, pretty much outlaws, we don't have an actual goal - just a theoretical one, and Ron's still being a whinny b***h... Shall we camp here and do nothing productive again? Or shall we argue, resulting in nothing productive happening again?" Sorry, my spoiler turned into a rant. sweatdrop

I believe that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows was a great book. However, did so many people really need to die in it?! I WAS SO SAD! crying
