I don't think the plot holes were that huge, really. But yeah, valid reasons for disliking it based on taste? OKAY BY ME. And I can kind of see the issue for Lupin fans, although he's one of my faves and it only bothered me slightly. I sort of guessed he was dead when Tonks freaked out and then we saw someone else battling Dolohov, and I liked that it happened offscreen, to an extent, but I would have liked a few more lines about it, and definitely wanted to see Tonks get screwed over because she lost her cool when Remus went down.

Anyone who is reading it hoping that that ship is going to happen at this point really had to've been dropped on their head as a baby. I mean, preferring it? Okay! I like Harry/Luna myself and I kind of think Ginny was an awful bitch in this last book, to Cho especially, but I'm not going to get all mad at the book when it didn't happen. I've never seethed in rage over the lack of MoodyxFlitwick, either!
