The last few pages of the story after Voldemort was killed seemed very rushed to me. Basically, Harry kills Voldemort and goes upstairs with Hermoine and Ron, they chat a bit, and then it's over. It's like JK Rowling ran out of steam.

If she'd spent another ten chapters tidying everything up, Return of the King style, the book would have been too heavy to lift without a winch!

And then the movie version would have stuck us with 20 minutes of Ron and Harry staring deep into each other's eyes. Ug.

Good point, maybe she should have left out some of the camping scenes?

Also, I wonder why none of the other wizards throughout the world never came to the aid of the British wizards after Voldemort and the Death Eaters had taken over? For example, the wizards and witches from Beauxbatons in France?

Kind of makes the whole Tri Wizard tournament seem pointless doesn't it? Isn't the whole point of the Tri Wizard tournament supposed to be "international magical cooperation"?

I guess the next Tri Wizard tournament will be somewhat strained, with all the Hogwarts students and faculty saying to the other schools, "thanks for nothing with that whole Voldemort war, as$holes!"
