There were definitely some edge-of-your-seat parts, such as the escape from the Malfoy mansion and the battle of Hogwarts. Although the endless camping scenes were slow, in a way I kind of liked them. They helped to reinforce the idea that isolation and utmost secrecy were important the characters' survival and to emphasize that finding the hoarcruxes with few clues was a frustrating and drawn out process.I'm curious how many people figured out the plot twists before they occurred. I got a few myself (Ron and Hermione disappeared for awhile to go retrieve basilisk teeth from the chamber of secrets and that the diadem was the same one that Harry had coincidentally slapped onto a bust in the Room of Requirement). Still can't figure out how Voldermort could keep believing that no one else had ever stumbled into the room of requirement since it was clearly piled high with junk, or since Draco had found it and used it to lead an army of Death-Eaters into the school. Hm, I wonder if when he entered it, if it had showed itself to be empty to him because that's what he needed to see...Some twists I was anticipating however proved to be wrong; at first I was certain that Ravenclaw's diadem was in fact the door-knocker to the Ravenclaw common room (it sounded to be roughly the right size and shape, it had an eagle embossed on it, it imparted wisdom by asking riddles and Voldermort inexplicably had indicated that he wanted Ravenclaw tower under surveillance rather than the room of requirement).The endless series of Snape memories also kind of had me wondering how he'd managed to organize so many thoughts and memories so effectively in the few seconds he'd had before he expired. I guess one's whole life really does flash before one's eyes at the moment of death. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And even if the sword of Gryffindor has been described as appearing for any Gryffindor in need, I do agree that having it suddenly pop out of the sorting hat for Neville did make the whole deal with the goblin turncoat rather pointless...Lastly, did it seem odd that a wizard can cast mutliple charms simply by holding multiple wands simultaneously as Harry did in the Malfoy manor? Why doesn't every wizard simply walk around with a half dozen wands strapped to his forearms? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
