Yup!!!! I *HUGE HUGE SNIFFLE* just finished it. *SOBS* I've always thought the epilogue was sappy, though thankfully this time it wasn't as much so as the first. Of course, that could be majorly related to the fact that the first time I read it, every few words my concentration was punctured by my dad pestering me with questions about the books. He hadn't reread them yet, so anything I told him, like a quote, or an idea I had needed to be explained, sometimes all the way back to the first book. I prudently read in the living room this time, and didn't tell anyone but my brother how close I was to the end. They were rather surprised to hear I finished it. I knew I missed a lot the first time when I came across the final battle, because I thought it took place outside!!! I had no idea! :D Anyway, enough rambling!!! I'm off to watch The Little Princess (I ALWAYS thought it was A little princess, but apparently not...). We watched The Secret Garden last night, they came in a ten dollar set from the grocery store, or something....... Love those stories!!! Has anyone read the sequel to tLP by Hilary McKay?? It's really good..... Oh, never mind, I was right all along!!! It is 'A'!! *gleeful*

i think Ms. Rowling got so used to the image in the movies she just went with it.I think she changed Voldy to what people were used to. The final book were only written for the movies they were going to make out of them. Even the laws of magic changed with the random light flashes and action scenes that the book could do without. And the angst. The books would be better without the angst. That does not stop me from being TOTALLY OBSESSED and shouting harry potter spells and getting weird looks all the time.

I am definitely in Slytherin. My pet snake's name is Salazar. If it was a girl it would've been Nagini but he is a boy. We just call him Snakey most of the time anyway.

On a completely unrelated topic (I don't know, this might count as trolling, maybe i should make a new thread, don't hurt me) A VERY POTTER SEQUEL IS ALMOST OUT!!! that is all.

Or it could just mean that he was completely clean-shaven (and had no miniscule, unnoticable hairs on his forehead or anything). I suppose we'll never really know for sure.

We need to ask JKR. But I'm afraid she won't be able to read it, because she probably gets so much fanmail.  However, it may be worth a try.

Since the Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort thread will eventually be sent to her, this could go in the same letter, I suppose. That way she wouldn't have to read so many. But still...

Probably not if you don't say who they are... :)

I never thought of that, but people dying at the end of every book starting with GoF is actually quite true.

What!?  Cedric Diggory was bad enough!  Ack!!!!!  It's not that that kind of stuff bothers me but I hate when authors kill of an awsome character or one that doesn't deserve dying (although I love to put it in my books >:D).
