I am incredibly angry about Hedwig as well. Lupin's death upset me. I've had a bad feeling along that he was going to die (he's my favorite character) but the way it was in the book was like it was just an afterthought and I think Lupin (and Tonks, but like I said Lupin's my favorite) deserved a better death than that. Plus, once I realized Tonks was pregnant, which was at the wedding (I think, wherever it was that Tonks was happy and Lupin was not) I thought oh good Lupin will live now, she's not going to make another orphan.
Eeep! We must live within a few miles of each other! Well, one of these days...lol.
I was thinking that Lupin might actually survive too, but then she proved me wrong. It took me a couple of hours to realize she'd killed off all the Marauders - well, Wormtail I was expecting and the end was fitting. But for all intents and purposes, with her work in the original OotP, Lily was the fifth Marauder. So now I'm already seeing some people on the message boards jokingly say that the next series of books will be about Teddy, the next poor little orphan boy.
I don't know about you, but most of the reaction I've seen has been somewhat mixed. I've only seen one person refer to it as the best of the series. I'm sort of torn between Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix, just because of my Sirius-centric p.o.v., but the end of OotP kills me.
I guess that's it - gonna have to find another fandom to occupy my time now...
