  157. Hilarious that his last thought is about Kreacher giving him a sandwich
  158. Some people hated the epilogue
  159. I didn't like it either
  160. It probably evens out and I'd say it's a solid 4.9/5 because it ties everything together
  161. There were moments of real tension and crazy stuff which is the best the series ever had but by the same token I didn't really like some aspects like Dumbledore's past.
  162. So harry didn't conquer death in the way the deathly hallows story is told. Or what people perceived. He embraced death. That's what they meant by being master of death. But it was his blood in Voldemort (a "horcrux" for Harry - "For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore’s eyes." - Goblet of Fire (Chapter 36, "The Parting of the Ways"), Voldemort's soul in Harry being a target and the elder wand being his that prevented him from dying
  163. Lots of Christian concepts re resurrection  
  164. The series as a whole - probably a 4.85/5 - it's pretty cool that the invisibility cloak being a legendary artifact was foreshadowed as early as book 1 and is what links Harry to the youngest Peverell...whereas in book 6 Marvalo's ring links Voldemort to the second brother. And that Rowling already hinted at horcruxes as early as book 2..
