After all, censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever (especially for books).

I don't think having only minor characters die fits a "grisly ending". Not only does Rowling save all the major characters she adds a "19 years later" that makes the ending even more of a "fairy tale".

And I did like the last chapter. It did seem like an afterthought, but the names of the children were funtastic. Draco's son is Scorpius and Harry has a son by name Albus Severus! I liked it! Thank you Aparna!

Even I found Dobby's death very touching. And, I loved the part where Harry reads his mother's letter :) Even I never doubted that Snape wasn't a bad man. I would have been shocked if it had turned out to be otherwise. Ravi, Welcome to my blog :) Sangs,
