** The final battle between Harry and Voldemort. What could have been and amazing confrontation between both of the most powerful wizards at the moment, we got {{spoiler|an overly long [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]], and just the death of on the most powerful villains ever in just a blink. And then there's the aftermath (just two or three pages).}} |

*** Harry's final battle with Voldemort probably couldn't have gone any other way. In the sixth book, we just saw the only wizard that was ever able to stand up to him equally get killed off, and that Harry just couldn't fill his shoes. Besides, as has been said elsewhere, Rowling had been setting up how Harry would win since the first book, and the ending becomes obvious in hindsight. |

**** Approximately three hojillion fanfic authors have found other ways to write the final battle. Admittedly, many of them would not ''work'' (Sturgeon's Law), but that still leaves more than a few that would have. Just off the top of my head at random, Harry could have used his mental connection with Voldemort to fight the dude in a Battle In The Center of the Mind, where Voldemort's greater experience with magic would have been countered by Harry having far stronger willpower and conviction. (Voldemort is, ultimately, a coward. Harry, on the other hand, is almost suicidally determined.) |

** Voldemort has this is well, besides his desire for immortality, we never really see any depth to him, just being something of a [[Card-Carrying Villain]]. He is the most feared wizard ever, and people fear to say his name, but outside leading a group of supremacists, we really don't see why this is so. |

** Let's not start with the Epilogue. Instead, Draco. There were plenty of chances he could've done a [[Heel Face Turn]] and aided Harry and co, maybe even having a [[Redemption Equals Death]]. Instead he slinks away from battle. Of course, let's not forget how epic it would've been if all of Slytherin (or at least the majority) decided to stand with Harry and the school at that moment. |
