i agree that it was sort of... cliche, but i did enjoy it nonetheless. i do wish that a bit more detail had been added about other characters, as well as the process of reconstructing magical society. and it would have been nice to hear about the dursleys, after harry's and dudley's 'moment' in the beginning of the book. i loved the bit about draco and his oddly-named son! it made me glad to see draco 'give a curt nod', as it was at least a hint of respect. ron's comments to his daughter were halarious! anyway, overall, i deeply enjoyed the book, and i am glad it ended so well. i knew it would.
