Finished HP & the DH a couple of hours ago...

Am feeling a great sense of anticlimax, probably because I read some spoilers a couple of days ago.

Much of it was very inevitable, really - Jo set things up in such a way in the preceding 6 books that I'd predicted many of them. The surprises:

Have you used white text as a spoiler-hiding mechanism? It doesn't seem quite to work on my friends page, because I don't have a white background.

Well, you influenced my thinking about how the book would go!

Quite a lot happened off-stage, which I wouldn't be surprised if they put on-screen when they make the film - e.g., what happens at Hogwarts while H, H & R are in the woods -- sounds lots more exciting, at times!
