J.K. Rowling is also hereby stripped of her Fullmetal Alchemist viewing privileges until further notice. Similarly, she is advised to make a note - you are only allowed a maximum of 2 retarded plot twists per book. Throwing a new one out every 10 pages is a great way to make your readers hate you.

The Hallows themselves were completely unnecessary, and so a lot of the book seemed quite unnecessary, but the end was awesome.
Snape = God
I mean, he was already unbelievably awesome, but he became ****ing epic there.
Battle of Hogwarts was good, but Battle of Hogwarts mkII was epic.
Final Confrontation was done much better than I expected it to be.
Would have liked more of an epilogue than we got, but meh.
I'm just happy my Harry/Ginny shipping was victorious. H/Hr = Lame.

1 last? 7 not in the bottom 3? You are dead to me now. >_>

The book in general was unnecessary. It was like Star Fox Adventures - horribly disappointing continuation to a great series mainly due to a departure from everything good about the previous games/books and way too many tedious fetch quests.
Battle of Hogwarts was good, but Battle of Hogwarts mkII was epic.
Screamed pointless filler to me. Plus a lot of it made NO DAMN SENSE. Even before the "okay everyone in the school is crazy invincible to magic now, lol!" thing.
Final Confrontation was done much better than I expected it to be.
Honestly, what was the point of it, though? Harry had to mess around for like 8 pages, playing with Voldemort's head, instead of just killing him straight away like he should've.
I'm just happy my Harry/Ginny shipping was victorious. H/Hr = Lame.
What they really should've done is just come completely out of left field and had Harry end up with Luna. Now THERE'S a fictional relationship worth reading about. [/spoiler]

There were plot twists? I must have missed them, what with all the cliches.
The Hallows themselves were completely unnecessary, and so a lot of the book seemed quite unnecessary...
Exactly, what was the point of the Hallows, anyway? Now, if Harry had needed all three to survive Voldemort's death spell, sure, I guess that would have worked. But Dumbledore, or Dumbledore's ghost, or maybe just some sort of drug-induced hallucination of Dumbledore explained to Harry that he survived because of Voldemort's obsession with other people's blood.
Which means the Hallows were completely pointless. Good job, Rowling.
I mean, he was already unbelievably awesome, but he became ****ing epic there.
Yes, Snape was a tolerable character.
Screamed pointless filler to me. Plus a lot of it made NO DAMN SENSE. Even before the "okay everyone in the school is crazy invincible to magic now, lol!" thing.

Seriously, though, that battle was epic and boring at the same time: we got a vague sense of epicness without any of the exciting fine details. I suspect this scene will be superior when put on film, although if the OotP movie is to be used as a benchmark for epic wizard dueling greatness, this scene will end up underwhelming in any medium.
Honestly, what was the point of it, though? Harry had to mess around for like 8 pages, playing with Voldemort's head, instead of just killing him straight away like he should've.
This. Not only are we subjected to a remarkably long speech in which Harry unveils Rowling's latest deus ex machina, we're also informed that the great and powerful Voldemort is finally killed for good when a highly-advanced unblockable spell is blocked and reflected back at him by an elementary-level wand-yanking spell that doesn't reflect things. I suppose this ridiculous scenario was necessary to maintain the "killing is bad in any situation" message while still killing somebody.
What they really should've done is just come completely out of left field and had Harry end up with Luna. Now THERE'S a fictional relationship worth reading about.
I would have been OK with no epilogue at all, personally. It was all disappointing fanservice.
Battle of Hogwarts had so much parody potential though
And the parody has a nine in ten chance of being more entertaining than the source material. [/spoiler]

I thought it was, too; it's also the longest chapter in the book, and the chapter I was busy transcribing when LG shut down the project. =(

...Right.
Also, the reason nobody died in the "second" Battle of Hogwarts is that apparently Harry made a Lily-esque sacrifice for them all and imbued them with the impenetrable Power of Love.
...Right. [/spoiler]

This, by the way, is one of my biggest gripes with the book. Tonks, maybe, but how the hell did Lupin die? He's not a Get Blasted By Dark Arts teacher, he's a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. This is what he DOES. >_> [/spoiler]

Maybe he should have spent less time worrying about boggarts and more time learning how to get away from one of those angry Death Eaters with a troubled past and nothing to lose; maybe by killing them or something. Assuming he was killed by a Death Eater and not a plot device. [/spoiler]

Except even with that, there's a chance it can heal, so it's not as bad.

Real life is not a soap opera. People do not just get amnesia at random.
Why the fuck do you want to get the fucking book at midnight? Are you gonna finish it that day?
In my case, uh, yes, I DID finish it that day. I'm sure a good number of people who bought it at midnight did as well.
Blah blah blah SPI blah blah blah nerds blah blah blah entertainment blah blah blah I R TIGER RAWR
Summary: You're a dick?
To use my analogy again, people care way too much about having sex. So what if THEY enjoy it? I find it much more entertaining to violently castrate them.

It makes perfect sense. Dumbledore was asking Snape if he's still in love with Lily Evans/Potter, to which Snape replied: "Always." He may also have cast a Patronus.

Spoilers are nothing, you do realize that, right?
srsly I don't see why people make a big deal out of it.
>_>
So you heard a spoiler, big fucking deal! Here's something you ask when you something like... SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE! Before you reach that part. So what? Here's where you ask "Why did he kill him?" "How did he kill him?" "Where did he kill him?"
So. This is where I say. STFU ABOUT SPOILERS! >_> [/spoiler]

I was going to call him out on that, but decided to give him one last shred of sanity and assume he actually had read it and just didn't like the line (which would be lame too, because it context it was great, but at least I could understand that.)

I don't think he's read any of the books - or if he has, he stopped a long, long time ago.
So what? Here's where you ask...
This is a valid proposition, but it has some deficiencies, the greatest among them is the fact that spoilers are designed to reveal the most shocking details, which, when stripped of their shocking qualities, are then also stripped of their emotional pull, really.

Only if you care too much.
[Spoiler for Final Fantasy 7, click to show]I had LONG heard "AERIS DIES!!!" before even PLAYING Final Fantasy 7, and it didn't really diminish the shock/anger/sadness I felt when I finally watched the scene myself. There's a big difference from hearing a spoiler and actually seeing/reading the outcome. [/spoiler]
