I've re-named the thread (its name is shorter now, and the word SPOILER meets the eye a little better.)

In short, for now: I've read it, and honestly said, after the dust has settled, I grow more and more unsatisfied with the book.

It read rushed to me, not pacing. There are logical loopholes which pointing out isn't even nitpicking - especially in a series where one of the charming things was that when the plot twisted, all the hints and clues had been there and the details had an inner logic to themselves. That has been shamefully neglected during the last two volumes. (At least when these facts fitting, and not contradicting details from the last volume, was always important in that series. In that regard, the HP books are different to those (like DW) where the world and its facts evolved and things in book 25 may contradict a side remark from book 1.)

There has been a lot of out of character behavior, which is somthing different to character development.

There has been sheer silliness, and not of the charming kind of the first four volumes.

The epilogue!? Ouch.

There are other discussable things, I think. I'll write a rather more detailed ran..., er, review tomorrow - I'm really tired now...

But let's put it that way... I am not convinced.
