Sorry my full thoughts on Deathly Hallows took so long. I've been caught up on fanfiction.net and haven't had time to do more than post on the Marauder RPG here. Okay so here it is.
I thought that the Hallows thing was kind of a weird twist but a welcome one none-the-less. They did add a bit of wonder to the story about how it would end up. I didn't like the horcruxes very much for some reason. Not the plot, just the horcruxes. Of course I take a disliking to a few things in the wizarding world. Including dementors, horcruxes, and rats who are really illegal animaguses who betrayed their friends to an evil wizard so now they pretend to be the pet of rat of a student who goes to school with the enemy of his master. Anyways I wonder what Xeno Lovegood would have been like to Harry had the Death Eaters(also on my list of disliked things) hadn't taken Luna. I feel horrible that so many innocent died. Particularly Remus, Dora(Tonks), Fred, Hedwig, Mad-Eye, Dobby, Colin Creevey(what did he ever do to anyone besides annoy them with the picture taking) and Ted Tonks. I HATE HATE HATED that Remus died. He was the coolest character in the entire series. I wish there was more of Teddy in the book. I hated that Snape was good. He loved Lily? What was with that. Amazingly enough that made me hate him even more if that was possible. Someone clear this up for me please. The final thing between Harry and You-Know-Who. . Did Voldemort have to realize he was dead before he died. Cuz one minute he was explaining that he was the rightful owner of the wand and the next You-Know-Who was crashing to the ground. I was a little disappointed with the epilogue though. I wish that we had found out what the trio had done after Hogwarts. For the most part it was good though. I have more thoughts but I don't have that kind of time.

One thing though: the Horcrux's. I did not hate them. I found them quite interesting, although creepy. And there is something you may find interesting about dementors. JK went through a time when she was depressed and created them because that was the way she felt, Like all the happiness was being sucked out of you. Ya I've read her biography.
I thought the fact that Snape loved Lily was taking it a bit too far. I think she should have stopped with friends. I don't understand what you mean with you question here
Did Voldemort have to realize he was dead before he died. Cuz one minute he was explaining that he was the rightful owner of the wand and the next You-Know-Who was crashing to the ground. Harry explained that he was the rightful owner of the wand because Draco was the one who had really taken the wand from dumbledore in the first place, and then harry took his wand. The wand wouldn't work against it's rightful owner so when Voldemort tried to kill Harry it back fired.
I hope that clears it up... if that's what you were asking. I was also disappointed by the epiolog. It was more like Fan-fiction. We wanted to hear about their jobs and more of the going-on's of their life.
This book was good, but not her best. I still think her best was the Goblet of Fire. A good book all the same though.
Much Love
Meg
Liz8710-Do you know if I can watch the interview anywhere?
quirkygilmore24-I don't hate them. I don't find them interesting but I do find them creepy that's why I dislike them. I don't like the dementors because they tend to effect me the way they're supposed to when I'm reading about or watching them. (A shiver went down my spine talking about them just now) I agree with what you said about Snape. Thnx 4 clearing that up for me. I'm kinda slow.(JK I am but only in the way that I don't realize the obvious sometimes) That's what I was thinking about the epilogue. Although I'm glad that Neville became the Herbology professor. Goblet of Fire was one of my faves along with Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix. I agree it was good but not her best.
I didn't get that Remus was dead until a few pages later... I was like, wait....
I almost cried when Dobby died.
When I was a little kid I dressed up like him for Halloween... Sad..
They just brought him back to kill him!
Like they did for a bunch of other people.
I thought the epilogue was TOO cheesy.
I would have liked an open ended ending better, but I guess she had to close it so people wouldn't pester her (as much) for more books.
It's still sad that this book that has been around since I was in second grade is now gone.
