I guess so many people spent years dreaming up the ending that they would have been disappointed with anything. No offense, Scream. Right before I read the last book I talked myself into thinking it would suck just so I'd be extra excited when it didn't. ^_^

haha, the whole reverse psychology, aye?
I didn't think it would suck, but I don't think I had as high expectations as most people did. You should see some of the H/Hr shippers on Portkey. They are going crazy, which is really sad. I mean, I was one of the biggest delusional shippers ever, but I still liked the book. *shrugs*

lol. I figured from book one that Ron would end up with Hermione, just 'cause they always seemed like an old married couple. And after book six, when it was so obvious that Hermione and Ron were crushing on each other, you'd think people would realize that it wasn't going to go down Harry/Hermione.

We could always see R/Hr, but I guess nothing could make me give up H/hr. I just thought they were so sweet together, but H/G is cute too, so no harm done there.

Oh, I just loved the part where Harry was all like, "Feel a little remorse, will you, Riddle?" -is overcome with emotions that are too wonderful to describe- I can use this book in so many, many different ways. Like... Harry saving Draco, having both of his wands? Ah... and then I still know how to make it a Severitus!! I love this book. I know how JKR said that Harry's father is James... but according to the books... there could always be... you know. -smirks-
Al? Ah, I must admit, I love him dearly. I think I might write something with him and Scorpius and James.... -overflowing with ideas- I don't know if I can write them all down before they just fly out of my head. But I knew it was Snape!! And he was serving his own purpose!! To get Lily... and then to protect what Lily left. -sighs-
Poor Bloody Baron, though.... I wonder... if he was Salazar's..... hm.....

Yeah, that would be interesting. Who was the Bloody Baron!

And.... Ignotus was born in Godric's Hallow as according the Dumbledore. That means, that Ignotus must have been born after Godric, since it was named after him, according to Bathilda! Which means, that since the Gaunts are related to the same line, just a different brother, that means that Harry is indeed a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. (ohhhh!! I was so very right on that one!!!)
Rowena Ravenclaw has no descendant, since her daughter never gave birth as she was growing old and ill. Who knows about Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, however.
But hot-headed temper... for the Bloody Baron? Hmn... reminds me a bit of Godric, eh?

But that's the thing, harry may not be a decedent of Slytherin, as the brother could have married into that blood line, not the brothers being born in the line... *shrug* we shall never know... *sniffle*
apparently she is planning a sequel, and more than just the encyclopedia everyone knows about.... should be interesting, but it could never really be a harry potter book... probably a spin off type thing, so a story about his kids, or something... who knows... we shall find out eventually! yaay for eventually.
The ending is growing on me a bit, it was exactly what i thought/feared it was going to be. its like the last book in deltora quest 3.... oh well.

...I have not read that one.... However.... I think, by far, that one book was better than all the rest combined. I'm still saying that Harry is related to Salazar. Since, it appears, even very hardcore Slytherins can be brave. Two groups are shown very plainly.
The scene of the Malfoys at the end (chapter, not Epilogue)? Wow... I got a drawing inspiration from that one.

Okay, let me get my fan-excitement out real quick. ZOMG!! Okay, now that that painful bit of chatspeak is out of the way...No one here belived that Snape was good, or that Harry was a Horcrux. You have no idea how satisfying it was to be right. I have a few questions though, who did Teddy Lupin end up living with if not his godfather? I would assume his Grandmother, but he's not really mentioned after Remus dies except to be tattled on.
Who named their kid Fred? Cause he was my favorite character (aside from George) and I'll be sad if no one named their kid after him. What was Harry thinking, naming his kid Albus Severus? He's going to be made fun of so bad! AND, my favorite, who's going to try buyi9ng the rights to Harry's kids so they can write about them?
At work today all of my cowokers were at different parts of the book, I was the only one who finished, and we were threatening eachother with spoilers. It was the funniest things because everyone kept avoiding me once they found out I already knew it all.

Yes, I love her! I don't know why, but I always have... for some odd reason or another.
Oh... and I was so, soooo right about Harry and Tom sharing parts of souls!! (in my current fanfiction?) I love this book! -strokes the cover of it, tenderly- It is like the Bible of the Harry Potter realm.

AND, my favorite, who's going to try buyi9ng the rights to Harry's kids so they can write about them? I definitely think that George should have had the name "Fred" reserved for him. And Albus Severus is the cutest name ever... I'm totally gonna name one of my kids that. Ted's definitely living with his grandma, which I think makes a lot of sense. After all, Hary was seventeen when Ted's parents died- he couldn't be expected to take on a kid. And since Andromeda just lost her husband and her son it makes sense that she got the kid to take care of, just so she'd have someone with her. Ugh... I hope JK doesn't give rights to the kids away. If she's not going to write it herself she can't just let someone else take over. That'd be horrible...

I know!! I almost hope she doesn't write a sequel, or let anyone else touch it, because I think it is perfect how it is now!

I think all the fans would personally murder the new copyright holder, if that happened.
Anyway, I was thinking... Didn't I say Harry was a Horcrux? I could have sworn that I said it a dozen times..... that's what I've always though. I've always thought there was 7 of them, asides from his actual soul. Besides the point, I've included spoilers in my latest chapter, Moogle! I finally posted it.
