I just finished this last night & am kind of nerding out over picking it apart, so forgive me if this is long.

I was pretty underwhelmed, actually: more relieved that it's just over already!

I felt the same way. It's not that I was expecting it to be my favorite book, but it seems as though the HP books are never quite as good as I want them to be. There always seems to be something lacking for me.

I hated what was done to Tonks

Same here - Tonks has never been one of my favorite characters, but I was not into the whole depressed -> married -> pregnant -> dead-chain of events. It seemed out of character and unnecessary to me.

What, no one else fighting has kids they're leaving @ home?

I'm glad that you brought this up, it's something I never really considered. I think (partially because of the way that the books are written) I really only care about/consider the main characters, which effectively renders every single minor character to be invisible.

Draco's mom faking out Voldy about Harry being dead was cool, tho'.

I thought that scene was pretty cool. It was just nice to see her do something, even if it was totally self-interested.

Mrs. Weasley kicking butt over Ginny was fun

That was one of the few moments of the book that I actually responded to out loud. I have kind of mixed feelings about Mrs. Weasley, so it was nice to see her get out & become a part of things & do damage.

The cute/funny/apt details are basically what keep me interested in reading her books. If it weren't for fun quirks and great little lines here and there, I don't think I'd have a whole lot to get excited about that couldn't be found elsewhere.

I definitely wasn't into the epilogue, though, for me, the fact that Ron & Hermione didn't name one of their children after Fred wouldn't have seemed like such a big deal if Harry & Ginny didn't give their kids such grossly significant names. Which seems sort of cheesy to me, but I guess in that situation, how could you not?
