“Thank you - there was so much promise to so many characters and plot devices that just were never used and that's a pretty bad thing for a writer. It was just all build up build up build up and then.. damp squib.I know it was a war as Malusa says, and that things happen quickly, but Snape? Dying from poison? Puhleeze. Remus? How do you kill a werewolf? Not with a wand, that's for sure. I liked VM's death because it was suddenly not important, he was just.. gone and Harry did right to ignore him.And the epilogue? Yuk.”
