I agree wholeheartedly. This book, out of them all, is simply the best. I was amazed by the scope and the detail and the sheer veracity of things. Who has perfect friends who never falter? And it teaches such wonderfully adult ideas for a "children's" book. It doesn't pull any punches; that was incredibly brave of JKR to put it out there with no apology that people are fallible, and good isn't always so well-defined. I wasn't crazy about the epilogue, but even that had a tiny gem tucked into that too-tidy ending. I think after so much turmoil, something everyone expected had to panne out.
