Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (w/Spoilers)
0bsessions:
If you didn't like it, you didn't like it, but a lot of the reasons (Outside your initial one of feeling they were meandering too much) really seem to contradict what actually happened in the book.
I don't understand how you can feel there wasn't enough closure on Voldemort. His soul was destroyed and he was killed. You don't get much more closure than dead.
Caiphana:
You wanted things to happen differently- but they didn't. Aw, shucks. If you don't like it, write a fic of the final book. Ignore what really happened, according to JKR (who, by the way, came up with the entire HP universe).

I wouldn't have minded so much if she had just, you know, wrote a better book. The whole "Voldemort closure" thing started when I said I would like to see a part of the epilogue that has Voldie going to King's Cross and then being rejected by Dumbledore and souls of his victims and banned into oblivion. He could have had a nice conversation with Dumbledore, which would have been hells of interesting.
I suppose I'm being a bit obtuse, so suffice to say I wish that she had written a better book.

I suppose you think there shouldn't be critics, then? I suppose you get all huffy at the teacher of your creative writing class for actually grading your work.
Caiphana:
Buddy, I was serious. If you don't like it, write your own! People will read it, you know.
Heavens, no. Besides, my profs always like my writing, and I welcome criticism, since I know there is room for improvement. They always like my papers, though, even if they don't give me a high mark. Because my writing is usually very cynical and written like a black comedy, which seems to appeal to most English or Lit teachers, and I do not follow traditional conventions, but I don't rape grammar or the spellings and I can generally make it work. hm, I apologize for digressing. Back to the point: you are not JKR's creative writing teacher. You are not grading her. You are also not a critic. You are complaining on an internet forum that she will never see. What's the point? I didn't like the book either, but it's canon and we're stuck with it.
