Book was pretty good overall. Thought the hallows would be a place or one thing, not three, but there you go. Although its probably good i guessed wrong because at least there was a surprise. A lot of the rest of the book was somewhat guessable and she followed a lot of expectations i thought rather than go with complete suprise and stuff people wouldn't expect.
Saddest part was either when dobby died (nearly cried) or possibly when harry was in snapes memories near the end. Or maybe when fred died actually, that too. Percy's reaction was gut-wrenching.
I was disappointed harry didn't die though. When voldemort killed him and he went into what can only be described as some sort of purgatory or something similar, i was under the impression from what dumbledore said to him that he could only continue living until he killed voldemort, because it was his connection with voldemort that kept him partially alive.... So i expected him to die when he killed voldemort, or a few minutes later... But no she had to have him live to a ripe old age and end with an infuritating epilogue.
I'm sorry, but could the epilogue have been any more corny! Agreed the line about snape was touching, but seriously, having them all call their kids after important people in their lives, shipping all the characters we knew would be shipped and even nodding politely to malfoy (although i like draco, so i don't really mind that) was all sooooo 'they all lived happily ever after'-ish.
Maybe the epilogue was necessary to finish it off, but if so, she could have at least included stuff about the other characters, like how george was without fred, or who was headmaster of hogwarts, or what their jobs were, or what happened to luna or all voldies followers.
it seemed silly to put in an epilogue and only explain the futures of the 4 or so main characters and malfoy, who frankly could have been left out for another character, as he wasn't really that important. maybe he was there to symbolise the unification of the houses of hogwarts - slytherin and gryffindor are friendly, or at least not murderous towards each other, once more!
but yeah, overall, pretty good. Although it could have been longer as ot was shorter than 4, 5 and 6 i think, which seemed strange considering how many things had to be adressed.
