hey, just a random person who isn't really in the fandom at all anymore...but a friend linked me to that epilogue thing you wrote, and then I read this, and I'm gonna answer some of your questions now
Yes!! I think about 50-100 pages of the Trio camping all around Britain could have been cut out. The book only got really good at around page 400 or so, I thought it was sort of...going nowhere in particular before that. Which of course mimics the way things were going with the Trio on the hunt for the Horcruxes...but that doesn't mean it should be boring for me to read.
I was on the brink of tears for Hedwig. I shed abouttt 6 tears for Dobby. After Harry died I just let my head fall back on my chair and sobbed for a couple of minutes. I'd seen the picture for the next chapter, so I was pretty sure he wasn't dead, but still, I bawled.
I probably laughed about 5 times. Not as funny as the other books, but there were some good quips and one-liners. I'm pretty sure one of them was George's "Saintlike" comment, but I don't remember any others. I read all of the dialogue from the last 100 pages out loud, so I couldn't interrupt myself, but if I had read it in my head I probably would have said "fuck yeah!" after Molly's expletive. oh, and at the end of every paragraph during the epilogue I shouted "FUCK!" or "ohh ugh STOP" or something. I didn't like seeing Harry and Ginny domesticated. yrgh.
I finished it Wednesday morning. I wanted to take my time. sava the flava.
