I don't know what you've been smoking, but for Ghu's sake get rid of it before you review another book. Deathly Hallows was a textbook example of sloppy writing and careless editing, relying far too much on exposition than on action (characters telling us what happened as opposed to letting us see it happen), too many plot holes were patched up with Deus ex Machina (items or people demonstrating previously unknown talents or powers without any foundation) starting with the so-called 'Deathly Hallows' themselves.

Then there's the changes in the characters. From Hermione turning into the Happy Housewife washing Ron's underwear(!) to Molly's stint channeling Ripley "Get away fron her you b*tch!", their personalities alter without rhyme or reason, and none moreso than Ron. From bumbling, jealous sidekick he suddenly turns into Ivanhoe, wielder of swords, rescuer of maidens, spekar of parseltongue, and defender of House Elves.

As for the Epilogue, a more diabetes-inducing piece of sugary pap has rarely been crafted. Bad enough that the social ills that developed over hundreds of years vanished over night, but Harry proves to be so brainwashed by the treatment he received over the years that he actually names one of his sons after his two worst abusers, sticking the poor kid with the monicker 'Albus Severus'.

JKR created a marvelous world and a story filled with mythic potential. Unfortunately for all of us she lacks the literary skills to pull it off.
