DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BLOODY BOOK! HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!
I had to talk about it somewhere, and my journal seemed safest. But I didn't want to make it private. Maybe I will see if it can be switched, and if it can, I will hide it for a few weeks.

Well, I must say... all the deaths certainly got the feeling of "war is HELL" across... but OMG. It hurt seeing some of the characters die. Fred, Hedwig, Lupin, Snape... so MANY others... I don't see why they had to die, other than to get that point across, and because Rowling wanted to.
I knew Harry was going to be the last Horcrux... as did many others, I'm sure. I knew, but also didn't know how she was going to get away with killing the main character. Well... she kinda shied away from that one, didn't she?
And yet, Snape... I suppose he wouldn't have led a happy life after all of that, would he? But dammit! Why do I always choose for my favorite character the one who dies!? Not that it wouldn't have been a hazardous choice in any case in this book, seeing as half the cast ends up getting killed in one manner or another.
*mourns Severus Snape* sad And I can't even let the world know I'm in mourning, yet. Because that is a huge a** spoiler. I want to mourn with all the other Snape fangirls...
I did like the chapter where Harry and the Dursley's part ways. Dudley actually has a shred of decency!? D: OMG. My feelings for the little idiot warmed several notches at that. Same with Petunia and Vernon, but not as much.
And what the hell was up with the little denouement at the end? I'm so glad she gave us a glimpse of their lives after all has settled down and returned to normal... but I expected something more... something else? I dunno. It just wasn't very satisfying to me. It felt like a "Here, have something, I'm tired" ending. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe if I read it again, it'll feel better. Maybe I'm just so upset over the various deaths and need time to get over it.

DAMMIT! IT WAS SO IGNOBLE, TOO! HE DIDN'T GET TO FIGHT BACK! *flails* I'm going to go sulk now.
