Oh, for crying out loud, people.

Did you catch the name of the books? Harry Potter and the ____?

Yeah, that's right.

Sadly, that means that there's no time to worship and mourn Snape, Severus-fans. There's no chance to see Tonks and Lupin die, R/T shippers. There's no way to watch Ginny do anything exciting, Ginny-lovers/haters/shippers/etc.

Yeah, I felt a little robbed too. I wanted to see Ginny kick ass. I wanted more on Snape. I was very upset to see Tonks and Lupin both go.

BUT IT'S A HARRY POTTER BOOK. IF HARRY WASN'T THERE, THEN WE DON'T GET TO SEE IT.

If I see one more post about "JKR totally disrespected us Snape fans the way she had him die" or "What did JKR think she was doing, killing off Tonks and Lupin" or "How dare JKR kill off one of the twins", I think I'm going to scream.

JKR is writing books about HARRY POTTER. Yes, one of the strengths of her series would be the wonderful characters she creates. Yes, I felt robbed. Yes, I agree - somewhat.

But you're not entitled to a weepy funeral for Severus/Fred/whomever. So please, stop acting like they are. Because the books aren't about those other characters.

SHEESH.


I seriously, honestly, truly think that the HP fandom as a whole has ruined this book for itself.

LoL I know but he basically did the same thing with both of them, so what makes Ginny any different?

Also, my sisters aren't in the HP fandom at all and they both hated the epilogue too, so it might not just be people in fandom that hated it. They called it "campy" and "contrived"- so there's that I guess. =)

Also did you read JKR sort of dissing the fans while defending the epilogue? I think the fandom might go nuts over it like it did when the H/Hr shippers got called delusional and went batshit crazy.

No, I didn't! LINK PLZ. XD I like seeing JKR vs THE FANS. It's hilarious.

It's like that one scene was JUST in there to be like "No, no, Harry/Hermione is a load of crap, now shut up, you."
