Harry Potter and the Post of Spoilers

[40cakes]

I don't know yet. The epilogue rubbed me the wrong way, like they had a contest for "which child can write the bestest epilogue?" and the winner is Sophie Chesterton, Age 11. Seriously? Babies everywhere? (Thanks, jaina.)

I threw it in my bag to reread it, since that first reading was the rushed reading of "What happens? Who dies? How will they defeat Voldemort? I have to finish reading before I hear spoilers on LJ!" There are a few things I don't quite understand, for example, "Wait, who has what wand now? Everyone got their souls? Great, hold on tight to those now. Now who killed whom and with what and how? And why, precisely, doesn't Hogwarts just kick out anyone sorted into Slytherin, since that entire house seems to be full of bad seeds?"

I was feeling down in the dumps all evening Saturday, and Kirk asked, "Sad ending or sad that it ended?" and as much as I wanted to say "Six on one, half a dozen on t'other," I think it was more the latter. Oh well, off to check out fandom_wank.

Luna Lovegood and Molly Weasley are made of win.

[edit] Also, I totally predicted 2 years ago that they wouldn't go back to Hogwarts and that Ravenclaw's thing would be one of the last Horcruces found. ...Sort of. Let me have my moments.
