I just finished re-reading Deathly Hallows (I know, I know, that was slow), and I'm still crying. I picked up reading today just when they get back into Hogwarts, and from then on, I cried at pretty much every single page.
The worse parts were, of course, Fred and Lupin and Tonks' deaths, and then when Harry was playing dead and everyone else were still willing to fight anyway and then when Voldemort died and when the first ones to hug Harry afterwards were Ron and Hermione, but mostly, I cried so, so hard during The Forest Again. I could hardly read, everything was blurry.
So yes, basically, I spent two hundred pages crying. It's weird, how it didn't affect me like this on the first reading -- I cried, but certainly not as much as today. I guess I was just numb then, and I was in too much of a hurry to see how it all ended. But yes. On a second-reading, I liked it even more this time around.
I stopped reading just before the epilogue, though, because I just couldn't take such sirupy sweetness after hours of sobbing my eyes out. o_O And that's the problem with the epilogue, it's far too anticlimatic after seven hundred pages of suffering and wonderfully told angst. But oh well.

Yo te entiendo; aun no me animo a releerlo como se debe pero si me acuerdo cuando leí The Forest Again la primera vez y tuve que poner el separador y agarrar los pañuelos porque era de ;__________________________; y no era lagrimeo, osea estaba llorando en serio. Cuando mi hermana me devuelva mi libro también lo voy a releer con mucha calma

Jaja, si, no me molesta tanto el epílogo
como al resto de la humanidad, me agrada saber que tuvieron su final feliz, pero en serio que no queda con el resto del libro.(no subject)
lashdfas The Forest Again. ;_; i think that might be my very favorite part from all seven books. omg, Ale, by the time James says "Until the very end." i am such an embarrassing mess of stupid sobbing girl. that whole scene was just so ridiculous. i love it so much.
dammit, i feel the need to get teary now just thinking about it. D:

My favorite favoritest scene is still when they're all in the Shack in PoA, but yes, The Forest Again is really high up there too, it's just wonderful. Between all the ghosts going with him to his death and Harry whispering 'I'm about to die' to the snitch, oh boy, but my heart almost can't take it. ;___; Too beautiful, and I really don't get how could people be all 'OMG IT SUCKS IT SOUNDS LIKE A FANFIC' while they didn't know if the leak was, in fact, book 7 or not. Pfft, I say, like any of us could've written that. Sure, lots of people could've written it better in terms of style, but the plot? No way.
I KNOW, OMG. I felt like crying everytime Remus or Fred were onscreen when I re-watched OotP, and then made a sad face everytime I read their names while I was re-reading DH. *cries some more*

ooh yeah the Shack scene is all sorts of AWESOME! that is definitely up there in my top favorites. sdkjsdkj when he said that to the snitch i was all *CHOKE UP* and then it just really hit me when those godddamn lovable Maruaders showed up. sigh. i am too attached to those bastards. i've seen some people saying that it was a failure and it sucked as a series end and all that just makes me scratch my head. it was more than i expected it to be and now i have to go read about Sirius' room and get all sniffle-y over how awesome he must have been. XD
OMG FRED. now, i was expecting Remus to die. and maybe the mwpp fangirl in me was all "IF HE DIES HE CAN HANG OUT WITH HIS BOYS AND MAKE OUT WITH SIRIUS AGAIN!! :D" so that made it easier to accept. [i know, i am a dork.] but i didn't see Fred's death coming at all. i thought the dead!Weasley would be Percy or maybe Charlie. just... not Fred. D:

I really don't get how people didn't like it. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but it was thrilling and awesome and interesting and much, much better written than the first books, so.
Yeah, I wasn't THAT surprised about Remus dying, but FRED. NOES. I was betting on either Percy or Bill (or even Charlie) to die, but certainly not one of the twins. *sniffle* And Hagrid. I honestly thought he wouldn't live through it. o_O
(no subject)
it was a good, satisfying ending to me. like you said, not perfect but still damn good and entertaining! with such anticipation built up over the years, i can see some disappointment but to outright be all 'i hated it!!1!' i just don't get it. :\
it was bad enough when George lost a friggin' ear; did he have to lose his other half?! poor Fred. D: and then she said in an interview that George named his firstborn Fred and i was all kahjdklas AWWW ;__; so yeah. and i totally thought Hagrid was a goner too. that surprised me.

Epilogue? Nice, but overly sugary, and the names. OMFGWTFTHENAMES!
Worst scene? Can't remember; but probably somewhere along the desertion. Or so. BTW? Can somebody please explain to me why nobody killed that evil pink toad Umbridge of? There was enough time to simply put a 9mm bullet in her head. Why did nobody do this? WHY?
(no subject)
Oh man, I do hope she'll rot away in Azkaban. She's a wonderful villian, but she's still a despicable woman.
(no subject)
Okay, okay, you could point out Bellatrix Lestrange, but otherwise?
No, no, Umbridge may be ruined, but she'll land on her feet - that terrible, terrible Imperius. Oh, and that vile, vile woman had threatened to do quite unspeakable things to the children if she didn't cooperate. *Sigh*. Yes, of course, she made some mistakes, but *insert giggle here* who wouldn't have, under such dreadful circumstances? Really, she was quite rational, and of course she hoped everything would work out. And for the blood quill? Oh, but it was Ministry policy, and she only followed orders. You cannot blame a poor, innocent woman for believing in her betters, can you? After all, we all should believe in our betters, right?

Pity the town.
Which is a joke most people won't get, I realize.
