The finish between Harry and Voldemort was unexpected, I really just thought it would be a matter of one killing the other - the whole "heaven" scene was a nice way to tie things up with Dumbledore. The only part about it that was surprising was that of Snape's long love of Lily Potter. Snapes vindication was well handled, though I thought it was fairly predictable. It was sad that so many great characters died but a good story needs that kind of loss to really create emotion The fight between Bellatrix and Mrs Weasley was also a highlight I thought.

It was also good to hear that Ginny, Neville and Luna had kept the resistance going at Hogwarts. The part in the Room of Requirement where characters from all the books came to join the fight was great, especially when Percy showed up. I thought the inclusion of Dumbledore's past and all of the stuff about the Hallows was very interesting and unexpected - it really added another element to the plot. I would like to know however, how they managed to think of enough locations to aparate to everyday. I didn't find the time they were on the run to drag at all and I was pretty shocked when Ron up and left and I was a bit surprised Hermione didn't go with him. It was nice to see them finally feeling something other than hate towards Harry. I loved that it got straight into the action of him escaping from Privet Drive and I thought the way she dealt with the parting from the Dursleys very well. It was epic, emotional, and tied things up nicely. I finished reading it a couple of hours ago and I absolutely loved it.
