It's time for your third blog prompt!

How did you feel about the end of the series? What moments did you feel were particularly poignant or problematic? How did your feelings towards Dumbledore and Snape change? About Harry, Ron, and Hermione? Why?

In addition, now that you  have finished the series, how would you place it in a large social/cultural context?

Please be specific! There are many ways you might answer these questions, so make your response interesting and unique to your perspective on the series, and include direct references to certain moments in the story. You do not need to address everything. In fact, please don't! Rather, please choose a particular angle or two and zero in on it/them.
