Harry Potter - The way it ended

I stopped reading the series (I was in the middle of "Order of the Phoenix") after I learned about how it ended. To me, Harry was one of the biggest Gary Stu's around--had it been anyone else who had gotten into the amount of trouble that he did, they would have been expelled from Hogwarts.
I agree with you about Voldemort and the DEs. What was Rowling thinking? After making Voldemort and his followers out to be the most evil people on the planet, she suddenly switches gears and turns them out to be wimps. Not exactly the best idea, I think.
In short, I think Harry should have remained dead, and Severus should not have been killed off.

Well I liked the way it ended... It could have been the only ending...
I feel so... Many of her fans had begged her not to kill Harry...And may I remind you that it is for young teens or young adults... So I guess she had to maintain this "Good wins over evil"... fearing people would call her a Satan Worshiper?... Lolz...



And when did Voldy turn to a wimp? Though yes, he could have acted a bit more evil when Neville came to protest against his rule. and he could have done better than hiding in that whatever tree was there..I forgot... and waiting for Snape to bring the wand...

Throughout the first six books and especially in books 2,4,5 etc the author had portrayed Voldemort as the most dreaded wizard.With the antagonist's magical skills being regarded in such high honor even by some of the wizards like the wand-maker,Dumbledore etc.,the ending is a bit tame.The only reason I could think of is Voldemort underestimated his opponent and that brought his downfall.His ignorance of some branches of magic could have aided his downfall.
