At least it's a holiday

Done.

I thought I wouldn't stay up reading it marathon-style, but here I am.

I'm really, really not pleased with the ending. Matrix Revolutions, anyone? Though really, I guess it's been pretty telegraphed for a while now. And did I completely miss a paragraph where they managed to take out Nagini?

Not sure how this settles the Snape debate. Good, evil? He's just the stalker.

So Harry and Ginny have three children, named... Lily, James, and Albus Severus? Did Ginny not have any say in the naming at all?

But I'm still unhappy that Tonks is dead.

Oh man, it's so past my bedtime.

It went by fast, but Neville gets his own moment o' badass on roughly pp. 732-3.

I guess one could handwave away the sketchier aspects of Snape's backstory with the "it was totally platonic, I swear" excuse, but what fun would that be?

Also, man, was the epilogue nauseating.
