FINISHED.

*collapse*


ETA: just in case, avoid comments for spoilers.

ETA2: DEFINITELY avoid comments for spoilers.

ETA3:

- I loved all the double entendres.

- I loved Molly Weasley's Ripley moment (A LOT)

- NEVILLE. NEVILLE! ILU, NEVILLE!

- One can't help but think that the epilogue existed at least partially to thwart the 'ginny is a slut' people/harmonians.

- Started weeping when Harry found out the doe was Snape's patronus. Was weeping so much when Harry was walking to his 'death' that I could barely see the page.

- Was utterly confused by the "who's wand is it anyway?" speech. Huh? I do not get it. (And if *I* don't get it... isn't this supposed to be a kid's book?)

- The epilogue reminded me so much of [livejournal.com profile] gekizetsu's Salvation 'verse. SO MUCH I CAN'T EVEN.

yes, yes and YES.

I cried hardest for Snape. Seriously, SNAPE. But I thought that last walk was... god it was so well written.

And I agree about the wand bit. Mind you it was about 3am in the morning at that stage and I'd been reading since about 6.30 pm so I might have to go over it again. I was going "okay, so you're bad, Harry's good, he's motivated by love, YOU SUCK." I think that was about it, but more complicated?

And did anyone seriously think for a minute Ron wasn't going to come back?

But overall, whew, I thought she really outdid herself.

Albus Severus. (sniffle)
