While this wasn’t my favorite book in the series — and there are things that I wish had been done differently — I loved seeing everyone come together in the end in order to defeat Voldemort & Co. I had chills the entire time that the battle was taking place & was the most emotional while reading that last scene where everyone is running up the front steps and into the entrance hall to fight one last time…🥲

(Side Note: I cannot get over the fact that Regulus **canonically** made that little collage out of Voldemort-related news clippings. It’s so unhinged & I think about it on a daily basis. That’s my Roman Empire.)

First, why did Hermione lash out at Ron like that when he returned? I know she is angry, but that seemed a little excessive.
Next, I was wondering why the character changes with Lupin.
Spoiler
He was embarrassed that he and Tonks were going to have a baby that was possibly going to be a werewolf, because Tonk's family doesn't really like werewolves, so instead of being there for Tonks, he decides he is going to run away with a bunch of seventeen-year-olds!!Spoiler
Also, Tonks' and Lupin's death were unnecessary and didn't add anything to the story, we just had to accept that they were dead.Speaking of character changes, why did she make Dumbledore more of an anti-hero? Was it that J.K. Rowling wanted him to be a hero, but didn't want him to be a hero, so instead, make him an anti-hero? I feel like she wrote Snape like that. It felt like she didn't want us to like him, and then, oh, he redeemed himself in the last book because

we get to see his memories after he dies,Moderate: Torture, Grief, Death of parent, Violence, War, Death, Kidnapping, and Murder
