yeah i didnt get that at all

he said "dont pity the dead" or something like that

didnt understand

I think I know spearhead...he was talking to Voldemort later and said "I saw what you'll be like" or something like that. I think it was Voldemort somehow. What he would be...I think lol.

Spoiler:
The whole subplot involving Grindewald annoyed me a little; I was more interested in the task of the Horcrux and Harry's infatuation with the Hallows. The whole Dumbledore and Grindewald relationship seemed to detract from the immediacy of his task.

eh, i didnt mind it

Finished it yesterday afternoon, I was happy with it. Finished the series nicely and I thought it nicely redeemed some of the laziness of other books in the series.

Overall, very good book.

a) I knew all along that

Spoiler:
Snap was good

b) I knew all along that
Spoiler:
Harry would not die

c) I have yet to read a better book in my lifetime. These books, without a doubt, will influence literature for decades to come. I know that the books were endlessly marketed and merchandised, putting out 5 clearly inferior films supposedly based on the books. But the books themselves were immaculately written.

For all of us who were 10-12 when the first books came out, we owe J.K. Rowling an enormous debt of gratitude for breathing magic into our young lives.

Why was it 19 years later anyway? The kids were around 11 (One of them seemed to be a second year or older), it would have been at least 12-13 years since conception, what happened in the 6-8 years between?

maybe they didnt want children during the time....

🙁🙁🙁 that bit got spoiled for me... read it accidentally on a comment on youtube...

TONKS EFFING DIED. I AM GOING TO KILL YOU JK ROWLING!.
Spoiler:
what signafance is rose and hugo anyway? And scorpius for that matter. Why does harry have a thing with naming his children after dead people

Rose and hugo are R and H. I assume its for Ron and Hermione. 🙂 I loved this book and thought it was the best one of the series!! Great way to end a series of books that are loved by millions. I almost dont want her to write another Harry Potter book. Calling it a diff name but still doing it in the wizarding world would be cool though.

I didn't really understand this bit either, untill you mention that "dont pity the dead" thing. I have no idea what theat baby was, but maybe it is what Voldermort will become

Allright, no way am I reading all these pages to see if there's an answer to this question...

Spoiler:
When Voldy "kills" Harry toward the end, and Harry wakes up in that vision with Dumbledore, there's a child "struggling for breath", and he's nervous to approach it. What is it supposed to represent? Himself as a baby, or something else? It wasn't really addressed...or maybe I was just dead tired when I was reading. Really, it's the only thing I don't really get. Thanks for any theories.

It's Voldemort.

Spoilers:
Or, rather, the bit of Voldemort's soul that was in harry.

dammit soljer beat me to it! Yeah its spose to represent the bit of voldemort in harry. and i think the dont pity the dead thing was just to keep harry from getting that ring again. it was said that once people are dead they dont like to come back. They don't want to be alive because death is actually better than life. Or it may just hurt or sumting i dont know. but DD just saying not to pity them for death is just like "going to bed after a long day...".

Hahahaha, brilliant idea for transportation...

Anyone remember in Order of the Phoenix when Petunia said, "I heard that boy telling her all about them," when referring to the dementors? That boy was Snape, not James like Harry thought. Diz-amn.

So who does magic late in life?

Also, Teddy Tonks, 19 and a half and still going to Hogwarts. Wtf mate?

He was just at the station, he wasnt going to Hogwarts.
