i liked when harry told off lupin to stay at home with his kid. it's true that people leave their kids all the time to go and fight, but i liked how harry convinced lupin to buck the trend, to encourage a man to stay at home and support his pregnant wife rather than try and be a hero.
i knew snape was good. too bad he dies, but then harry wouldn't have gotten his thoughts and found out everything. convenient how all snape's thoughts were organized perfectly to put together a story.
and i always wondered about dd's dark side, because that's alluded to throughout the books. i thought dd's dark side would be a lot worse, but it's basically about him being tempted by power, learning some lessons, etc. nothing really earth-shattering.
i liked the house elf bit too. and the story with the wands, and the deathly hallows. (i.e. they're things, not a place!)
i knew harry wouldn't die. i thought in the end his scar would disappear, and i was kinda right, with the king's cross chapter. jkr making him naked in that chapter felt like a nod to daniel radcliffe's in-the-buff theatre production, but maybe his play happened after she finished writing?
the finding of horcruxes seemed too easy. at the end of book 6, i wondered how jkr was going to do that in just one book. and i didn't like how harry was so easily able to see into voldemort's mind without repercussion and "get all the answers." like vm couldn't feel it? i wonder what happened to voldy's body! peeve's song at the end was funny: "voldy's gone mouldy."
and of course the epilogue sucked. the world is a happy place ("all is well") when everyone's heteronormative. UGH.
7.5 hours! wow! i did about 10, including a couple interruptions.
