It always bugs me when people complain about Albus' full name as if people usually say "first name-middle name" when speaking to someone.

Yeah, it seems they went the Nymphadora route and just called Albus by his nickname.

Sort of disliked this Wish less years had gone by

I just wish there hadn't been an epilogue, really. We would've found out what happened to everyone from Jo anyway. It just seemed abrupt and out-of-place to me. :/

I can kind of understand the feeling. When the Digimon Adventure 02 epilogue went up, I bawled more because OMG THEY WERE ADULTS AND WEREN'T CHILDREN 4EVA more than the couples, the jobs, etc.

It felt really awkward to me, because you've just had the rest of the book with Harry as this seventeen year old, well, kid. Juxtaposed with a 36 year old Harry for the chapter after, feels incredibly false and rushed to me.

Nothing to add to the discussion. But this chapter art is the one I'm getting tattooed this summer with “Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” :)

acmeeoy July 11 2011, 23:39:59 UTC

Good luck with the tattoos. I'm too cowardly for those!

I just wish JKR went into greater detail about some of the other characters too.

acmeeoy July 11 2011, 23:40:33 UTC

Maybe the Epilogue equivalent on Pottermore would go more on that.

Wow, I can't believe we're done. It's been such an awesome crazy ride, and I met some really cool people along the way. It really did suck that I wasn't able to be part of the posts more often.

That being said, stay flawless everyone, and TEAM EPILOGUE WOOOOO

acmeeoy July 11 2011, 23:42:29 UTC

I did not expect this place will eventually close down (THOUGH DON'T DELETE SINCE I LIKE LOOKING THROUGH POSTS). I thought we'd be going through the series in an endless loop FOREVER!!!

When thinking of the last page of the epilogue, sad/wistful music from the DCAU plays in my head and makes my heart heavy.

crystalzelda July 11 2011, 23:51:53 UTC

Aww :3 Maybe in a few years or something if we're still interested we might start up again, but I'm pretty sure it's the last chapter post for a while haha

It was so good to share this experience with other fans, really gave me a new perspective on HP.

LOL I didn't know you were a mod!
