Also, the epilogue was nauseating. Well meant, but painful to read. I'm saying the rest of the book didn't make up for it, but . . . yeesh.

Ok, I really need to look over what I just typed more often to catch dumb typos. That would be "I'm not saying the rest of the book didn't make up for it . . ." I think HP7 may easily be my favorite book of the series; though I'll probably have to re-read the rest to confirm that opinion.
