Are you going to read them again? I think now that I've finished I need to reread all of them.

I'll definitely re-read this last one, and Book 6.

Also...Rowling announced that she is going to write an "encyclopedia" of Harry Potter characters. It might be a while, but she did say that it was in the works. We'll learn more about the other characters and their careers, etc...as well as a lot of the back stories.

Yah, my daughter told me that. She checks on mugglenet about all things Harry Potter. We can't wait for the theme park to open. :D

One problem, Bond....Rowling already stated that this WAS the last Harry Potter book. How is she going to get out of that one?

Well it's easy really....she just keeps writing books. All we know about the future is that:

1) Harry/Ginny survive get married have kids
2) Ron/Hermione survive get married have kids
3) Draco survives and has kid
4) Neville survives

Frankly I thought this vague epilogue (which I thought sucked) is a good excuse to keep doing books. She didn't really give us much considering how detailed the books are.

It never said what Harry eventually did career-wise....It would be cool if he was named Minister of Magic.

I think he'd be a freelance Auror....something tells me he doesn't anti-government.

And I wonder who is Headmaster/Headmistress at Hogwarts? I'm guessing Professor Donnagal.

Probably, and we call her name starts with an M as far as I know.

I would love to see a storyline that reunites the three....Maybe the kids get kidnapped by a vengeful death eater....

Any speculations, Bond? Or anyone else who has finished the book?

Well it seems fairly easy.....someone walks along and Expelliarmuses Harry, making that new person the master of the Elder Wand....said person starts screwing around....and Harry and the gang has to swing in and save the day.

As to Mrs Weasley going ape crap and literally killing Bellatrix....well what'd you expect? They've been building her up as his SuperMom, and what do SuperMoms do? They avenge their children. I think Seeing MRs Weasley kick ass was amazing, but expected. I thought that if one of Draco's toadies was going to die, they'd both die.

My books in favorite order:

1) 7
2) 3
3) 4
4) 6
5) 5
6) 2
7) 1

And I'll probably re-read the entire series at least once more.

It didn't suprise me....I thought immediately that it was:

1) Lily Potter (since James's was a stag (ie Male deer)
2) Someone connected to Lily Potter

About the only person that could be was Snape (since everyone associated with Lily was dead and also had access to the Sword and he was on the fence till we finally found out his backstory).....and of course it was him.

One of my favorite parts of the book was Mrs. Weasley freaking out on Bellatrix! :D

That was awesome! One of my favorite lines in the book:

"Not my daughter you Bitch!" LOL

Go Molly!

My favorite was the 3rd one. Did you like this one the best?

I liked this one the best because it tied up all the loose ends. I also loved Book 3, Book 4, and Book 6.

I loved the fact that Mrs. Weasley kicked butt! I'm so proud of her. Yes, Go Molly!

5 is my least favorite because I don't like Umbridge torturing Harry.

Drat! I REALLY wanted HER on the death count list in the last book! I hated her as much as I hated Voldermort.

There were always allusions to the fact that she was a powerful witch. It was nice to finally see her show her stuff!

;)

I think I hated her (and Fudge) more than I hated Voldy.....Voldy at least had style.
