So, what did you think?
I saw most of it coming, but I thought that she handled it far better than I had expected her to. The stuff with Snape was handled especially well, and the last few chapters were very strong. The middle of the book seemed to drag quite a lot, but I guess that was necessary to allow the end to build more convincingly and with a greater sense of pace. I heard that she had ghost-writers help her get it right, but that might just be jealous industry gossip, but for the first time there was a sentence in there that I thought was superbly crafted. It seems odd that one would appear after seven books... What did you think? -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

I'd have to say I loved the humanization of both Dumbledore and Snape- it was, for me, just about the best part of the book.
I was shocked by the death of Fred and VERY shocked by Tonk's death (saw Lupin's coming a mile away >.> ) The only thing I rather disliked was the epilogue (though, to be fair, I don't like most epilogues). And Voldemort's death was so completely in Harry's style it made me grin
