I was feeling so many things. Sad cause of all those that died, Happy for those who lived,overjoyed for charcters who had there moment,Satisfied that all my question were awnsered, and empty inside cause this was the last book and I had nothin else to look forward to.

I laughed from sheer relief that the trio was all right, that Ginny and Harry were finally together with nothing left to tear them apart, and that Ron and Hermione were happy together. I cried because this meant the end of an era, of a fantasy world that I would never again encounter in a new and exciting way. Sure, I'll read the books all again, but I'll never get excited the way I would when I waited in line at midnight releases, and breathed in that new-book smell, and reverently turned the first page to see the trademark text and all those beautiful words just waiting to be devoured. So, yes, I did a bit of both.

i felt very happy and sad at the same time

i was sad because it was the end of the series and shocked because some of my favourite characters died

Well.. I was incredibly happy that I read all of them.. I was hoping that she wrote about Harry's, Ron's, Draco's all those guys children.. Immensely upset because Remus, Colin, Tonks, Fred.. All of them were dead.. Wondering who Draco married.. Thinking that Scorpius and Rose would be cute together.. Happy that Harry finally killed Voldemort.. Excited.. And very, very, very proud of JKR for making such awesome books!!!!!!!

Well bookwise it was great, but otherwise I was very sad and lost w/o more Harry Potter, my heart sank as soon as I closed the book. I can't believe that it's over. No more HP books to look forward to. My heart still feels empty. *wants to cry again*

I cried when Dobby died, cried when Fred died, and then when Harry found out about Lupin and Tonks death...
when I finished reading the last book (in 2007), I couldn´t believe that was over, all about the "Potter World"...
I´m happy that Harry survive, and Ron, Hermione and the other kids (can´t believe Colin Creeve is dead!!!!), but all my favorite adult characters died: Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius...and even Snape! I would have liked that snape survives so he could claimed with harry...
this year I realised that I want more Potter, so I reread books 5,6 and 7 and join SS!!
So happy!!!!

I cried a lot while reading this book. I cried when Hedwig, Mad-Eye, Fred, Tonks, Lupin and everyone else died. I was surprised when Snape died, I didn't see that coming. I liked the epilogue at the end, it was interesting to see who ended up marrying who and how many kids they had. It was a bittersweet ending, I was happy that Voldemort was defeated but I was sad it was the last book and so many lives were lost.

Well, let's just get out of the way that I cried multiple times in this book. I'm sure you know where the tear-jerker parts are. But when I finished it, I had more tears, just because I was so happy that everyone had their happy ending. But I think that when I actually closed the book, I was in....awe, I guess. Like, I didnt even know what to think. My brother said I sat there for about 10 minutes just staring and not saying anything. I guess that explains it.

I had cried so many times during the book, I felt I couldn't make any more tears, but in the end, I cried a little more anyway as soon as I closed the book. It left this sense of completion and happiness, yet I had a feeling as though something important, some part of me, had been ripped out. I felt somewhat lost. Couldn't have grown up with anything better than HP, and once it was done... it was like my childhood was finally, completely, gone. It took a long time for me to process everything, as tired as I was, but I'd already formed the opinion in my head that it was the best book I'd ever read. And even now, years later, I still feel that same way. I couldn't have asked for a better last book.

And, the dedication.. God, that killed me. "And to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end." Way to get the tears coming so early, Jo. XD

Hm... I'm 99.9% sure that I sighed melodramatically, kinda in a bittersweet way. I mean, I was sad that it was the end of the HP series, but I believe I was smiling still. I believe I felt fulfilled, but it was obviously a bit bitter because I knew that a chapter of my life had kinda closed at that moment.

But then a few moments later, I began examining the box that the book had arrived in (I ordered the deluxe edition months ahead of time and got it in the mail the afternoon of the day of the book's release.) and I spazzed when I saw that J.K. Rowling had signed the box. When it arrived, I was so busy taking the book out of the box to read it that I hadn't examined the artwork or markings. So when I was doen and I took it to the light to check and see if it was authentic, I literally had a spaz attack.

Ah, memories.

My immediate reaction after I finished the epilogue was 'What in the world was that ending?' I hatehateHATED the ending. It was way too much like a really horrible fanfiction - Albus Severus? <i>Really,</i> Jo? - and it made me mad that she ended such an awesome book so horribly.

But after that initial anger and frustration, I felt really sad. I've read these books since second grade, and it was just... Over. Gone. Done. It was a mixture of sadness and reminiscent. It's still weird that these books are done forever.

it felt weird, it sounds cliche, but i felt like my childhood ended

To be honest...the first time I read Deathly Hallows..it bored me until the end. I've reread it quite a few times since, and I love it now. I can't believe I thought it was boring! But I did cry....I cried whenever Dobby died, when Snape died, especially...I felt numb when Fred, Lupin, and Tonks died. And, of course, I cried because I was so proud of Harry for his bravery and 'dieing' for his friends and everyone of the wizarding world.

And of course..I cried because the books are all over.

I pretend the Epilogue isn't there.

I was trying to find ways, in which she could continue the series. But I don't see how that can happen...

I was sad because that was the end of it~

I started laughing... in a quiet and retarded way ... heh heh heh

I wasn't laughing at the book ... I was laughing cause I finished

At first I cried cuz' my favourite character died, Fred Weasley ... But I was a little bit disappointed cuz' it ends ... I thought J.K would explain a bit more about Ginny's and Harry's future .. but I like the end ... it could be more, but I like it.

My first reaction was basically like, it's over????

Like, it wouldn't process. Then I reread Snape's chapter.

I was happy that there was mainly a happy ending (apart from the deaths ) but I was sad that HP was over. I was surprised when I saw the ninteen years later part. I thought I had finished the book :L

I sighed and wiped the tears away from my cheeks. I walked down the stairs and said to my dad, 'I'm finished.' Then I started wailing all over again. I couldn't function for hours. He wouldn't let me tell him what happened so I had to keep it all bottled up inside me. It was amazing! The epilogue was a bit of a weird bit. It would have been better if it was longer - like it has given us an update of everything. Like everyones kids (Luna, Neville etc etc). I'm crying thinking about it!

When I first finished the book my reaction was that it was an incredible book. I was really sad that it was done though and there was going to be no more Harry Potter. I loved the final battle of Hogwarts i was hoping she would do that once i realized that the whole book wasnt taking place there.

There was also alot that got me sad though like all the dead people especially Dobby, Fred, Lupin, Tonks and Hedwig. I couldnt believe she killed Dobby i wanted him to be there at the end to congratulate his hero for killing Voldemort.

R.I.P Dobby

I sat there in shock for about 15 minutes then I realised that it was over. A scream could then be heard and was soon followed by crying. Then I started laughing hysterically after realising that I had been doing for ages and it was over a book series. A book series that changed my life mind you, but still a book series.

I think there should be a book which tells us everything about what happened in the 19 years that we'd missed. And then it would finish at the bit where the deathly hallows finished. Or it could carry on till after they died and to see their kids grow up. There was actually a rumor that apparantly Rose weasley (Ron and hermione's daughter) and scorpious malfoy (draco's son) fall in love. But as you would know, both sets of parents would not be too happy about this. But as I say it was just a rumor. But I doubt that any of us will ever know as we don't have the faintest idea what happened 19 years before the end of the 7th story ended, or 19+ years after.

I was like ........ ....... ...................… is this really over?.…
