Only the epilogue left. I am so not ready for this to be over again. It has kept me company for months. Haven't read this specific book since 2016. So many things I did not remember. For the first time I understood that at King's Cross that was Voldermort while unconscious like Harry. I used to think it was the part of him in Harry that died. That and the final chapter where phenomenal. Such a satisfying and moving end to the series. I love how everyone came to help. When Kreatcher too entered the scene it topped. Also, loved how we were shown the strength of Moly Weasley, how, even subtly, it was said that Bellatrix's voice sounded like that of a lover. And of course loved Harry explaining everything to Tom and calling him by his name. He even tried to save him from his awful fate. Also, I loved how for Harry, as Dumbledore said, death would be easy for his soul was intact and hole, how he could just go on while Tom would suffer. Neville was excellent too and finally after rereading I can say I don't despise Dumbledore after all. However, after reading this chapter it doesn't make much sense for Dumbledore and Grindelwald to have been lovers. Not at all. It's sad how Rowling is ruining everything now. There is so much depth in this, so much meaning. In the newer Harry Potter products quality is disregarded for the sake of selfish gain and her trying to prove sth. Nonetheless, this was EXCELLENT.


The scar hadn't hurt in 19 years. All was well. WOW. I got the chills and was left sitting in silence. So many events flashed before my eyes. So much pain. So much history. I am so glad the ending was happy. Agh what will I do now not being able to experience this world. Why does it have to enddd?!?!?
Also, 《you 're on your own kid》 is the perfect song for this series and especially this book. Watched an edit with it and now it is irrevocably linked with Harry Potter in my mind. I guess I will just listen to this song on end to ease my sadness this is over again lol.
