Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - FOR FINISHED READERS, Time to discuss forrealz *SPOILERS SPOILERS* Options

FIINNNIIIISSSSSHHHHHHEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD!
So totally LOVED it. I went to the midnight party and was within the first ten people to get the book SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. It took a HELLUVA lot longer to finish than I thought, and much of the book I read allowed to make sure I didn't skip over parts.

I was, though, really really really saddened by all of the deaths. The death of Hedwig was a big blow, but even bigger was Dobby. Full-out sobbing at that point right there. Same goes with torturing of Hermoine. That was HUGE for me, as was the Ron screaming to help her.

Still amazing glad that the three of them stuck it out - albeit Ron left for a little, but he came back! And of course, when he did it was magnificent.

MAJOR kudos to Rowling from bringing EVERYONE back for the seventh book, I totally imagined the seventh movie and we just being utterly amazed - I love reunions like that.

So I was wrong about Snape! And normally, I'd be dissatisfied when it doesn't go the way I thought it would :x but that was really good. I'd always known that he loved Lily - but I adored that entire Snape chapter. Really, really did.

ALL HAIL THE GOOD SHIP.

I screamed SCREAMED SCREAMED SCREAMED SCREAMED cries of joy when Ron and Hermoine kissed. And did a BIG victory dance. YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Expected more from the epilogue, though. ):

Wonderful story of Dumbledore's past.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HARRY POTTTERRRRR!!!!!

Oyy, I went to one of the midnight parties at Barnes and Noble for the book, and it was madness. Then, I stayed up all night to finish the book.
Overall, I was satisfied. It was a nice conclusion to the whole series, but I will be sad that it is all over. Of course there are the movies to look forward to, but still...

Anyways, I was really sad/upset at a lot of the deaths, but especially Dobby and Fred's. I cried when Harry dug Dobby's grave manually without magic. It really showed how much Dobby meant to Harry.
I liked how Snape was a good man, through and through, and all because of his love for Lily. His death was an upsetting one, just by a snake bite. But, it's kinda ironic how he was the Potions Master and didn't have an antidote...
Percy's reunion with him family was nice. But Fred's death also upset me =(.
I had already read the Epilogue before the book was released via other spoilers, and thought that it would be impossible that Harry would give the name Severus son, but now it makes sense, and I like that.
Re: someone doing magic later at life, perhaps Rowling was going to add that, but then decided to take it out? Because I don't remember that happening... but so much happened perhaps it slipped my mind.

I am definitely going to read this book over again haha.
