Ah, someone else read the mightygodking review. My biggest
motiviation for reading the book as quickly as I could is that I
wanted to read that review, and didn't want to be reading
spoilers.
I think that the epilogue was the biggest swing and a miss of the
whole book.
I realise that in the potterverse, Hogwarts is the defining time in
a persons life. I also recognise the opportunity for a "circle of
life" type moment. That being said, the epilogue seemed to me to
doom 19 years to nothing much happening, and passed up the
opportunity for providing a place to deal with the short term
results of the Order's victory, wrap up some of the minor
characters a bit, especially those supporting voldy and to leave
the characters as new adults, going forward into a future with a
strong direction and open opportunities, instead of going forward
with complete and utter certainty that their choices from hogwarts
are the sum total of their destiny.
