Default Re: Well, I for one loved the book.

Well, I doubt anyone on this site could really "hate" ANY HP book, but it was really disappointing. I don't think that because it pleases hopeless romantics it's justified, sorry. The literary quality just took a dive. The epilogue lacked substance- it gave me the impression of overly-bright cardboard cutouts. The plot was just a mess- new plots that didn't really make sense were added, while the existing ones simply ignored, or, at best, weakly resolved. The general tone of DH contradicted itself- either be realistic, or be a fairytale. Poorly attempting to pander to both those sides comes across as false and not very well though out.
