MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT!!! What did you think?

I have warned you but will do so again.
This post includes MAJOR spoilers







I've finished reading it.

And I loved it.
With all my heart I loved it...
But at the same time. I couldn't help but just cry, and cry and cry.

First and foremost because it's over.

But then, also for the many characters that died, especially, Remus and Severus.

When Severus died I couldn't help but feel gloomy even though it was not obvious that he was good yet, and when Harry looked at his memories... I almost screamed. He loved her!
I was right all along! He was good, he loved Lily and did anything for Dumbledore! But then I realized that he was dead... And started crying.

And then... when Harry rushes through the halls and sees Remus and Tonks... I think my heart stopped!
When Remus had a son I was convinced that she COULD NOT kill him.
But she did.
It hurts to love book characters doesn't it? *sad smile*

But I still loved the book.
I still thought it was the best of them all.
And I still think that... maybe it could have been different.

I thought it was a pretty fitting end to a pretty good series of books. It is probably now my favorite book out of the series.

She spent a little more time on things I wouldn't have (all the wandering aimlessly) and a little less time on things I want to know more about (like Godricks Hollow and Snape), but overall thought it was a good read.

I can't BELIEVE she killed Remus and Tonks! (enough on that subject)

Do you ever wonder if the outcome was partially influenced by the fans? Like the Malfoy's being at least partially redeemed and the epilogue?
