Everyone knows and loves Harry Potter, right? The 7th book came out a few days ago and I read it. Its' pretty good.

Yeah I got that book yesterday and I'll never finish a 759 page book as fast as Flow did. I know it's cheating but the first thing I did with the book was read the epiloge.

lol It was a pretty good book, the 7th one. The ending was nice, and my dreams came true when Hermione married Ron. J. K. Rowling really knows how to catch the reader's attention.

I was kind of scared at first because my mum told me that after J.K. Rowling finished the book she cried of course, she was drunk.

I found it to be quite gratuitous in it's dispatching of characters; and indeed, non-sensical at times.

I thought the epilogue was the most hilarious thing I've ever read. For real.
Fun read though, if not the best of literature. XD

The epilogue was pretty funny. I was voting for a Ron/Hermione relationship, and I was glad it came out with it. But it seemed she was rushing the relationship in the books. =\

Well, my big issue was that they all ended up marrying their school-age sweethearts... something that doesn't happen all that often in real life. I was hoping Harry or Ron or Hermione would marry some person we had never heard of, that they met after the books finished. But alas, that didn't happen. And yeah, JKR's not too big on the "slow, patient love"... she's more with the "and then they were in love whoot." Also, the kid's names were freaking hilarious. I know they're only fictional, but I feel bad for them... obviously Ginny and Harry are really bad in the naming department. In the end, the books were entertaining, but I'm going to pretend the epilogue didn't happen. It reads like bad fanfiction. (One thing I did like though. >.> Teddy/Victoire for the win.)

I was a bit confused with Ron's new 'protectiveness' of Hermione. But I thought that book Harry got for his B-Day, "Eight simple steps to make a witch like you" or something. And, yeah, and names were pretty funny. Especially at the end. "Albus Severus Potter?"
