Endings, endings. Spoilers, spoilers...

[urania]

I really wouldn't suggest you to read this post, if you haven't finished Deathly Hallows and care about knowing the ending.

This also contains spoilers for the end of Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne and Digimon (yeah, get over it...).

I told you there were major spoilers for Harry Potter, didn't I? Just one last warning so nobody can accuse me of being a bitch...

Uhm, okay, just let me say, I really, really hated this epilogue thingy at the end of DH. The ending itself wasn't the worst one, I mean the whole "being dead but then again not" situation was a little... strange, but I could have lived with it, I would have been absolutely content if the book had ended after the second last chapter. Some plot twists were a little... forced? But I won't complain about Snape being so good and so noble, cause I happen to like Snape and didn't really think he was purely and exclusively bad.

So, okay, I didn't like this Hollywood self-sacrifice idea, but okay, I kind of expected it, and I have to admit I'm kinda glad Harry didn't die.

But I really could have lived without the epilogue. It's not as if I didn't expect them to end up the way they did, but I don't need someone to tell me everything, what is imagination for?

Ooohh, btw my ma said "Don't you think Hermione is too clever for Ron? I wouldn't want to be married to such an idiot if I were as clever..." Personally I think that's okay, but it still made me laugh! :D)

In general I'm against these kind of "BLABLA years later" endings, they just... I just hate them, okay? I hated them in KKJ where they all married and lived happily ever after with Fynn and Access reborn, and I hated them in Digimon where Yamato became astronaut (*snorts*) and Ken married Miyako (he never even looked at her, but hey, who cares?)... It's just somehow not right writing this kind of epilogue.

I always considered them the work of... well, bad authors. And then JK Rowling comes along and writes just that? It somehow just doesn't seem right... :(

*sighs* I think I'm just disappointed cause overall the book wasn't bad at all, a little boring sometimes, but still okay. And then this epilogue comes along...

Oh, and naming your child scorpius is kinda cruel, don't you think? I mean who wants to be named after a spider thingy? *sighs*

Okay, enough rambling, I'm sorry... Just wanted to say this stuff somewhere. :/

I did not like the epilogue. Because... what's with George? Without ear and Fred? How they earn money? Except from Neville nobody seems to have a job. And how can Harry sacrifices Severus so much? Its disgusting. He hate him the whole time Severus lived and after his death... And HUGO? How mean is that? Even Scorpius have a better sound...
And why let J.K. Hagrid alive? He was old and so... Couldn't she let Tonks alive? Or Remus? Or FRED? She killed all my favourites, except George and Luna. She killed all of the Marauders! (I only wished death for Wormtail because he's a traitor and I hate him how I hate Umbridge...) I am so unsatisfied with the last book. I think you see... xDD

[rikuhana.livejournal.com]

Oh I forget the best thing. I was really happy when she killed Wormtail of course, but much happier was I when I found out that Severus love Lily. Because this was a rumour I know for years and love it. *___*

(Ehm zu faul für Englisch... ^^;)

Jaaa, das habe ich mich auch gefragt. Der arme George, wahrscheinlich total traumatisiert und alles, aber das war dann anscheinend nicht fröhlich genug oder... oder JK wusste einfach nicht, wie sie das schreiben sollte. Und wahrscheinlich dachte sie, sie sind Kriegshelden, sie müssen ncht arbeiten... oder so, seltsam! Diese ganzen Namen haben mich allgemein ziemlich gestört, aber Hugo, ehm, ich dachte nur "Hui, die können ihr Kind nicht sehr mögen, wenn sie es Hugo nennen..." Und Albus Severus? Das ist irgendwie einfach falsch... *kopfschüttel* Aber ich find Scorpius ist auch eine Strafe, ich mein ein Spinnentier? *schauder*
Ich hab nicht mal richtg mitbekommen, wann Tonks und Remus gestorben sind, konnte man ja aber auch gar nicht, oder?
Oh, das mit Severus hat mich auch happy gemacht, hehe. Kam mir zwar nicht so ganz IC vor, aber naja... ich fand's trotzdem gut! XD (Genauso wie Wormtails Tod. Heheh...)
Achja, und ich bin sehr froh, dass Luna überlebt hat. Das wär ja auch noch schöner gewesen... òo

Hui, langer Kommentar! Ich habe anscheinend diskussionsbedarf! XD

[rikuhana.livejournal.com]

Tonks und Remus waren einfach tot. Neben Fred auf ner Bahre. Ich habe es ja shcon befürchtet als Tonks auftauchte, aber ich dachte, vielleicht bleibt wenigstens einer (TONKS) am Leben und muss "nur" mit ansehen wie der andere stirbt. Was bei Tonks noch traumatischer wäre als bei Remus. Dem wollt ich nur eine klatschen zwischendurch. War klar dass er stirbt an dem Punkt wo er im Grimmauld Place auftauchte. Der suchte doch den Tod um danach wieder mit Sirius vereint zu sein und Ewigkeitlang Sex zu haben........ eeeh... ^^;;;;
Albus Severus... you're named after two head master.... jaa und unter dem einen war Terrorherrschaft. Toll gemacht Harry. Ich hoffe für Severus dass er nicht noch großartig rumerzählt hat warum Severus gemacht hat was er gemacht hat. Ich meine Namen reinwaschen gut und schön aber die tiefsten Gefühle von ihm preisgeben. ~___~ Überhaupt... eigentlich war das nicht mutig von Severus. Eigentlich wurde er nur von Dumbedore ausgenutzt weil er so besessen verliebt in Lily war.

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Okay, dann dacht ich das also nicht nur, weil ich müde war, sie lagen einfach echt so rum. o.O Fand ich jetzt ehrlich gesagt einfach mal... seeehr komisch. Remus hat sich benommen als wäre er ein Teenager, habe ich mich etwa die ganzen bände lang geirrt und er war kein verantwortungsbewusster Erwachsener? Natürlich, mein Fehler... Haha, wahrscheinlich hast du recht! ;)
Das dachte ich auch... Ja, schöner Name, nach so einem gemeinen Mann will man gern benannt sein, weil natürlich jetzt alle wissen, dass Severus eigentlich grundgut war und in ihm kein Fünkchen böses gesteckt hat... XD
Ja, Dumbledore is eben pöse! òo Weiß doch jeder... XDDDD~

Mein Gott, was bin ich heute sarkastisch...

[ignorethissign.livejournal.com]

You summed it up just perfectly!

That epilogue nonsense... you know, I was already complaining, a LOT, while reading the book, but those last few pages, they were just the straw that broke the camel's back! AAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHH!!!

Oh well...

About that "Hermione being to clever for Ron" business... I don't know, but Hermione didn't pull off the bright and brilliant act too well in DH, now did she? (Dude, but, were or weren't they terribly DENSE? R.A.B., MG!) Anyway, it's pretty funny lol

Oh yeah, the KKJ and Digimon endings... *shudders* WHY do people DO such things?!

And I don't know, but I thought Scorpius wasn't nearly as bad as naming your kids (of COURSE, they HAD to have 3, of COURSE there HAD to be at least 1 boy and 1 girl!) after your deceased parents!! I mean, COME on, WTF?

There's several things I'd like to comment on, still, but I think it might be better if I just leave it at that ^^;;;;

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Really, the book wasn't the best, but the epilogue... *growls* Epilogues like that in general! *snarls*

Haha, there were sooo many fans who said that R.A.B. was Regulus Black, but JKR just said "no, he isn't, but it's a fine guess"... AS IF! *phew*

Oh, I guess, people do things like that just cause they can, and they don't want that people actually THINK about their show/book/manga, and so they force their version of the characters' future inside our heads. But I don't think their tactic is as clever and successful as they'd like to think. Must have something to do with an inferiorty complex. XD

The names were just stupid. But I still think the name Albus Severus is 10 times worse than Lily and James. You just have to ignore the fact that they are Harry's parents... (OF COURSE they had to, what did you expect? ;))

Oh, just comment whatever you want, I've this urge to discuss the book... XD

[ignorethissign.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, yes!

Pur-lease! -.-u

Yeah, that's probably it... Doesn't work that well though, now does it? XD

They SO were! And yes, you're right about the Albus Severus thing. That was the most stupidest name EVER! (poor kid...)

I would... but that'd take waaay too much time...
Luna was cool though ^^ And I really liked Neville's appearances :)

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

No, it really doesn't work. XD People just say "I'll ignore the epilogue. So what?" and everything works just fine.
Of course I'd never do that, I respect the writer's ideas [/sarcasm]

My first reaction "They really must hate their kids." still thing they have to. ._.

Ahaha, I know. ^^ One could discuss hours, just because of the epilogue. Which really was the worst part. -_-
Ah, I love Luna and Neville. <3 I always did. Heehee. Oh, and I love the Ravenclaw Common Room, or rather the "password" thing. :D

[ignorethissign.livejournal.com]

Now, that'd be sooo disrespectful and totally wrong ;) I'd never consider doing anything of that sort *innocent puppy-eyes of Doom*

They SO do!

Oh yeah, the "password" thing was really cool :) Luna and Neville rock! :D
