i agree that the ending of the book prior to the epilogue would have been fine. i think i could have possibly lived a full and rich life never knowing that Albus Severus and Scorpius existed. [ahahaha AS/S. i must ask, Ale, do you ship ASS? :P] and just like you said it's not as if JKR would never have given us the info at some later date. hell, she'd considering an HP Encyclopedia already so it wouldn't have been so bad to end it there.

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:

WHO DOESN'T SHIP ASS? IT'S TOO FINE A NAME TO NOT SHIP IT. Although I actually like Teddy/James better but shhhh *g*. Mmm, the encylclopedia is going to be soooo much fun!

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

ASS IS THE NEW BLACK. i dunno, it sounded good at the time. :| yesss i like Teddy/James better too. actually, i could give a flying fuck about ASS because i can't help but picture a H/D clone. it really is! i can't wait to see if Sirius ever gets a canon birthday. I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS.

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.
