Harry Potter Redux, And Then I'm Done

Sooooo I was wrong. So sue me. It would have made a much better story than it was if it was closer to my theory. BTW, THIS IS THE LAST TIME POTTER IS THE SUBJECT OF MY BLOG!! Knew Harry was going to live, knew Snape and Pettigrew were going to die. What the hell was she thinking with that precious little epilogue. Like I couldn't figure out that Harry and Ginny were going to get married and have kids and send them to Hogwarts and by the way Harry's son has a rebellious stubborn streak? Like I couldn't figure out Ron and Hermione got married? Please. Why was so much stuff left unresolved? After Voldemort croaks it there's like five pages of wrap up and four of them are talking to Dumbledore's portrait. Big things left unresolved. Draco and Harry? The Defense Against the Dark Arts Professorship? Themes developed throughout the series and then dropped like a dead rat at the end. A big deal was made about the 'major character(s) dying...' Then the ones that died were arbitrary. Except for Fred Weasley, but hey, he had a twin so that's all right. How did George and the other Weasley's deal with that? Did the three heroes ever graduate Hogwarts? Why did Dumbledore have to know EVERYTHING. He did come off as a puppet-master, and I did think less of him after the book ended. Aberforth? Aberforth? Anyone there? He plays a pivotal role in the fight and then poof, he's gone.
Sorry JK, but you ended the series with sloppy and lazy writing. I am done talking about it.
