I just wanted to pop in here; I saw your comments on copperbadge's journal defending the book, and I thought I'd say that I appreciate it. So many people denounced the book before they even read it, and it's just not fair. This book was more realistic in its treatment of war than preceding books, which is a bit jarring, and some people just don't want to accept it. Also, I so completely agree with you in your assessment of Harry as a narrator.

More topically - I don't like the epilogue much, personally, as all it really says is "Everyone got married and had kids" and you knew that would happen anyway, but it does give fandom some new characters to play with. And I do not understand why people would wonder why Draco Malfoy would name his son Scorpius.

So, sorry to just barge in here! Just wanted to let you know.
