I loved it. So sad that it's all over now though. I'm kinda proud of myself, because all of my predictions were right (I predicted about snape and the locket), so that was kinda cool. And it's my new favorite Harry Potter book.

I agree, I don't think it explained enough of Lily and James that I wanted it to, I wanted to know what they did for a living, how they met, how they fell in love, etc. I also wondered if Harry went to become an Auror like he wanted to or not. I always saw him as a future teacher of DADA at Hogwarts because he was always so good at it, but I guess not.

Those of you who are wanting more, never fear. She's confirmed that she will be doing an encyclopedia of Harry's world, where she'll explain more. Apparently, there was a more detailed epilogue that had to be trimmed because it didn't work with the flow of the book. In the video interview HERE, you can find out more about the characters, including what Ron and Harry are doing professionally. Enjoy! (I myself absolutely LOVED this book! I'm still a little fuzzy on the wand possession theory, but I'm sure by the second or third re-read it will all make sense to me. And many thanks to my beloved QH who let me read all day on Saturday. Love you.) Anyone else feel like sharing?

You know, that was the only way I was able to enjoy Book 5. I didn't like it when it came out, but when I re-read the series to get ready for Book 6 and read it as part of the series, I liked it so much better. It is great to read the series and pick up the little hints that were dropped in earlier books. I'm so thoroughly satisfied with Book 7! Now...let's get her started on that encyclopedia thingie of Harry's world!

I quite agree with the rereading. After finishing up Hallows and reading the fan fiction here on this site, I started rereading the whole series again last monday and I just finished Prisoner, and I noticed at the end of the book, dumbledore does allude to the fact that harry will be thankfull for saving wormtail down the road. It's amazing how much I forgot over the years. The last time I read the first 5 was back in 2003 when Order came out, which is still my favorite book, followed by Hallows then Goblet I would guess.
Anyways, back to reading, bout to start chapter 1 of Goblet of Fire.

I just love that we'll get extra explanations on characters to answer our many, many questions.
I'm just so...satisfied by how it all played out. It was brilliant!

what hints did you mean? I always hoped for it and I kinda new that it was going to happen, but up until the 6th book, I took no notice.
Also, did anyone notice back in the beginning of OoTP, when Aunt Petunia mentions she knows that the dementors guard azkaban, she says she knows because she that awful boy (i think thats she said) told her sister that when she was younger, which is quite funny because she is talking about snape. Been rereading the series again to pick up on snape hints, and I couldn't believe i found that haha.
