I was certainly no more disappointed in Harry's character in this book than in past books where he has used Unforgiveable Curses. JK has made a point of him not being a "perfect" character.

I did feel, as well as you, that JK was just writing to fill her contract. The scene of the wedding was pretty good.

To me it felt like she (J.K.R.) was trying to fill pages without launching Harry, Ron and Hermione into yet another cliff hanger of a story thread to be continued in a new book. I can see why she put that “years later epilogue” in.

The novel seemed a lot less intense. Nothing new or unexpected happened.

Although I do agree that the book dragged through the middle in general I loved most of it, and especially the final quarter. I also agree that Ginny's character had little to do in this one, and was a bit sorry about that, but these stories are mainly focused on Harry, Ron and Hermione and all the Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806547.post-73948502721366131412007-08-24T16:47:00.000-04:002007-08-24T16:47:00.000-04:00I quite agree with you.

I think the hard part with the book is that *everything* had to wrap up, and she couldn't reveal too much until close to the end or everyone would figure out exactly what was going on. Mind you, I think I had most of it figured out, but there were one or two things I wasn't expectingChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491442330003219764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806547.post-45730445172513850412007-08-24T10:06:00.000-04:002007-08-24T10:06:00.000-04:00I was a bit disappointed with this book too.
