i am actually crying slightly as i write this. it is over my friends ,but as i have said before it shall live on in us so without furthur ado: i cried when dobby died i was *WHAT!* when moody died that was definetly a shock fred's death was like a punch to the gut,

excuse me a sec "REMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

*cries*

tonks and re..remus dead that hurt to i just stopped reading then and i was staring at the book in mute horror before it became loud horror and i cried that was just too sad.

the pensieve memories that was...odd but well done i mean loads had thought about snape liking lily but to be given proof lol and the fact that they new eachother BEFORE hogwarts was odd but there we have it when harry was walking into the forest to be killed and the ghost or w/e you wanna call them appeared i cried the line "does it hurt" made me the saddest i loved the ending where voldy and harry were circling eachother and harry was like teaching riddle lmao and the very end where harry, ginny, ron and hermione were seeing there kids off to school thats cool and guess what at least ppl that create fics about the kids of the HP characters will have proper names and a bit of info on there personalities to work with lol

Draco now that was sad i wonder though what to lucius and narcissa.

Kreacher scared the s*** outta me i was like HUH it was creepy but when the house elves cam out of the kitchens brandishing knives i was like WOOOO!!! thats was cool.

the kings cross scene i also had to read it several times to understand it i also loved the line he said to harry as harry returned hehe i'm glad we got to know more about dumbledores past even though it was shocking lol.

when ron first left them i was like "no!" for awhile i thought he wasnt going to come back but when he saved harry's life and came back to them i was grinning like a maniac Very Happy

when hedwig died i was like "No that cant happen they cant kill her off" but they did which was sad, i'm glad hagrid survived i thought he was dead when he fell thank god he wasnt lol i think thats it well probably not but it would take too long to put everything

what else was there

[voguegurl]

dude reading that was hilarious! and i cried when dobby died too!! and smae to fred!!

[mizukey]

There were so many deaths, at least 10 that are metioned I think....

[myinsanemind]

"SEVERUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT SEVIE TO COME BACK!!!!!!!" Aya cries. "AND FRED TOO!!!" Tears ran down her face as she grabbed a peice of cookie dough and threw it in her mouth.

[mizukey]

"So many deaths"

[myinsanemind]

I'm glad that Mad-eye died.

[mizukey]

I think there was 18 mentioned deaths if you count the animals

[The Legendary Raver]

i wanted there to be so many more deaths...
OK
mad eye
tonks
lupin
the creavy kid
Fred
Hedwig
dobby
the wand guy... blanking out on his name.....
muggle studies teacher
voldemort
Bellatrix (loved the way she died... if Neville killed her it would of been good too)
OK and if you think about it.... nagini
but who else? thats it.... i need more. OK um. these are 17 and 18 year old kids against death eaters.... there not all good!! she should of killed more people.... more kids.

i am glade that the malfoys had a happy ending actualy... poor Draco. i usually hate the kid but now, i just feel bad for him and his family.

Kreacher... i love him!! and they did a good job of him in the 5th movie 2.

that kings cross chapter was VERY boring. the worst chapter. just hated it.

thank god Hermione and Ron kissed!!! *sigh* !!!!

i love the whole deathy hallow thing...

my favorite is the snape thing. i new he was good. i will confess i has my doubts that he was bad at some points but most of the time i new he was good. i loved the whole penesive thing with Lilly. omg and how he was in love with her and how is patronus is a doe!!! i new he was in love with her!! i was reading it and i wanted to cry. i didn't cry at all through the book but for some reason that little story touched me. stupid voldemort had to kill him!!!! noooooooooooooo I'm so sad. i new he was Good!! hahaha . go me.

ok what else?... i cant think of anything...lol

oh i remember this pissed me off. at the end of the book i wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters in the future. lavender and Luna and bill.... and which death eaters get caught and who gets married to who and what there jobs are.... but she didn't do that!!! and thats what i thought she was going to do with the epilogue. i mean i liked the epilogue she did do, but i still want to know what happen to all the rest of the characters. like were is pansy now ? we have no clue what Ginny's job is.... i don't no about you but i want to no that. i mean we all no harry is an Auror right?

"we now know a bit more. there was this article to day on one of the news sites from an interview she did on the today show.

If you found the epilogue of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” rather vague, then J.K. Rowling achieved her goal.
The author was shooting for “nebulous,” something “poetic.” She wanted the readers to feel as if they were looking at Platform 9¾ through the mist, unable to make out exactly who was there and who was not.
“I do, of course, have that information for you, should you require it,” she told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira rather coyly in her first interview since fans got their hands on the final book.
Ummm … yes, please!
Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.)
“But it didn’t work very well as a piece of writing,” Rowling said. “It felt very much that I had crowbarred in every bit of information I could … In a novel you have to resist the urge to tell everything.”
But now that the seventh and final novel is in the hands of her adoring public, Rowling no longer has to hold back any information about Harry Potter from her fans. And when 14 fans crowded around her in Edinburgh Castle in Scotland earlier this week as part of TODAY’s interview, Rowling was more than willing to share her thoughts about what Harry and his friends are up to now.
Harry, Ron and Hermione
We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child.
As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head.
“Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department,” Rowling said. “They are now the experts. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what else they’ve done.”
Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron’s wife, is “pretty high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in “Deathly Hallows.”
“I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding,” Rowling said.
Harry, Ron and Hermione don’t join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years; they revolutionize it and the ministry evolves into a “really good place to be.”
“They made a new world,” Rowling said.
The wizarding naturalist
Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum.
“I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.”
Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don’t exist.
“But I do think that she’s so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one’s ever seen before,” Rowling said.
Luna and Neville Longbottom?
It’s possible Luna has also found love with another member of the D.A.
When she was first asked about the possibility of Luna hooking up with Neville Longbottom several years ago, Rowling’s response was “Definitely not.” But as time passed and she watched her characters mature, Rowling started to “feel a bit of a pull” between the unlikely pair.
Ultimately, Rowling left the question of their relationship open at the end of the book because doing otherwise “felt too neat.”
Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom: “The damage is done.”
There is no chance, however, that Neville’s parents, who were tortured into madness by Bellatrix Lestrange, ever left St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies.
“I know people really wanted some hope for that, and I can quite see why because, in a way, what happens to Neville’s parents is even worse than what happened to Harry’s parents,” Rowling said. “The damage that is done, in some cases with very dark magic, is done permanently.”
Rowling said Neville finds happiness in his grandmother’s acceptance of him as a gifted wizard and as the new herbology professor at Hogwarts.
The fate of Hogwarts
Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the school for witchcraft and wizardry is led by an entirely new headmaster (“McGonagall was really getting on a bit”) as well as a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That position is now as safe as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort’s death broke the jinx that kept a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year.
While Rowling didn’t clarify whether Harry, Ron and Hermione ever return to school to finish their seventh year, she did say she could see Harry popping up every now and again to give the “odd talk” on Defense Against the Dark Arts.
More details to come?
Rowling said she may eventually reveal more details in a Harry Potter encyclopedia, but even then, it will never be enough to satisfy the most ardent of her fans.
“I’m dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry’s great-great-grandparents,” she said. Not that she’s discouraging the Potter devotion!
“I love it,” she said. “I’m all for that.”

i'm one of the many who cried when fred, tonks, and lupin died
i thought it was a really oober good book-grins-but towards the end, i kinda felt that it was sort of turning into more of a children's book, like rowling let up on her literature skills or something and started making everything seem really simple and easy vocabulary.

am i the only one who thought the epilogue was a little corny??

hmm it IS a childrens book it started out and it may of got darker but she couldnt lose the idea of it being a childrens book.

[Peregrine Alexander]

A childrens book that teens and adult are obessed with. Yay!

[mizukey]

Also, Nagini died and another Goblin, though I can't remember his name. I can't think of the others that I got to add up to 17 and I seemed to have misplaced my list

[boiz9]

one of my favorite bits were when Molly confronted Bellatrix. GO MOTHER POWER!!!
truth be told i hardly ever cry when reading but when i reads about tonks, lupin and fred i put the book down and cryed then picked it up again and finished it. i also found it quite cleiche that Teddy's parents die when he is very young and that Harry's did as well. i was just waiting for J.K to start writing Teddy's story but then i read the epilogue and i was like d*** you J.K.
