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!!!!!

Mundungus took the treasures from Kreacher and that was about the Slytherin locket. I can't really remember reading exactly how Aberforth received the mirror. I'm guessing it was Dumbledore.

As to who comes back as ghosts and who don't, I think that's discussed at the end of book 5 where Harry asks Nick how he was able to remain as a ghost. I looked at it just yesterday.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see this page. I think it was in limbo as well since Dumbledore told Harry it may have been happening in his head, but it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't real.

Dung probably was going through Sirius' house and found (among other shiny treasures) the mirror. He probably thought it was worth something and took it. Aberforth told Harry that he bought it from Dung and kept it because Dumbledore told him it was an enchanted mirror of Sirius' and that Harry had the second one.

I think, JK Rowling didn't want to explain to far into things especially with the overwhelming amount of info in this book but Dumbledore told Harry that he had a choice to either move on or return to Earth. Since Harry was a special case, he (his soul) was able to return to his body but anyone else's soul would return to Earth without its body, therefore, becoming ghosts.
