I did not give Harry Potter a chance at all
it was all "look whimsy and silly names for everything! wooooo" and I was all "this sucks, I'm gonna read more about woodland creatures murdering the crap out of each other."
no, it was covered pretty well, just not in detail
also, so what if Harry's story finished up? Voldemort was generally just a threat to England if not Europe
voldemort's story is done as well, are you that thick?
and neville and luna didn't end up together either, much to my chagrin
goddammit Kusu you suck pretty bad at this
listen to me
if they can find ways to bring back the fucking Emperor in Star Wars EU I'm sure they can find something for Harry to do in the 20 some years they have between Deathly Hallows and the Epilogue
you're acting like Voldemort asploding was the end of dark wizardry and that his corpse spewed out gold and puppy dogs
I'm sure some creative authors can think of some non-Voldemort/non-European threats for Harry, Ron and others to cover
also I think Neville and Luna could totally have a justified fling, even if they're not together at the end
Outcast was pretty sweet, I agree, but I liked Mattimeo just fine
I think the last really solid one was Marlfox, before they started getting kinda samey
I thought that too, but the last one I read (Loamhenge, I think) was actually pretty decent. Still nowhere near as good as the earlier stuff, but definitely and improvement over the previous ones.
I was talking with a friend about Redwall a couple of weeks back and we decided that Mattimeo stands out as being really dark in tone compared to some of the others. I wouldn't say it's bad, just very different. I guess that's something to do with it being written earlier and Jacques still trying to figure out what he wanted to do with the series?
Regardless, I love pretty much all of the early Redwall books.

nah. says pretty explicitly in the epilogue that all had been well the entire 19 years from between the end of the battle of hogwarts and the epilogue.

it's about a third that length and beautiful, not to mention that by showing in that depth a routine procedure it expertly helps establish a believable future. Also the special effects, cinematography and music are all superb.
it feels like it goes on forever and there are plenty of less mind numbing ways of establishing a believable future

The Redwall books just kind of... carried on. I read them as they came out when I was a kid, but as I got older the novels didn't really grow with me, so after the fifth or sixth book I just stopped.

arrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
first of all I vote they retcon the epilogue into oblivion, Rowling added far too much shit between writing the epilogue and, you know, writing the other 6 books
second of all why are you fragrantly supporting a rainbows and puppy dogs ending?! you yourself said that the last 4 books were super-mature, but it ends on a totally immature note

listen i'm not saying the epilogue is good--in fact, it's rubbish. but i think retconning stuff you don't like is kinda dumb. this is why everyone hates the re-releases of star wars: lots of extra shit that is stupid.
i honestly think that a harry potter EU wouldn't be that interesting; the interesting part of wizarding history as far as we know occurred in the 7 years between 1991 and 1998 in the harry potter universe; once again, the only part that was barely touched upon was the founding of hogwarts. all we know is that gryffindor and slytherin were friends, slytherin was a bitch, and he left.

The main problem with further Harry Potter novels would be that I don't trust JK Rowling anymore. She used to be a likable person, but her behaviour has grown increasingly erratic in the last years. And I don't like many of the things she did with the seventh novel ("off-screen" deaths for many characters, halfhearted tying up of loose ends).
But I'm nonetheless very thankful for these books. I started with the first one when I was ten or eleven.

yeah but the off screen deaths were kinda meant to be off screen. limited omniscience is, you know. limited. harry can't be everywhere at once, and rowling raaaaarely follows any other points of view.

Man it was really lame how she was just all like "HEY GUYS DUMBLEDORE IS GAY" after the book got released, even though that was never stated or even really implied in the book itself
She was really trying to stretch those fifteen minutes of fame for all they were worth

Not implied enough, man
well after she revealed the information you could see it, but if you didn't know dumbledore was gay it would just seem like he really felt close to him as a friend

Yeah, but most of the deaths weren't integral to the plot and didn't provoke any noteworthy reaction in the other characters. It sucks if a beloved character gets killed and all they get is a passing mention of their corpse amidst the rubble.

yeah he got naked and saved the world by getting shot in the face, and then fucked ginny for 13 years while ignoring his godson
I actually sorta meant "EU" meaning Rowling wouldn't be writing them
Stephen King would dive on the property as soon as it became available
I didn't know Stephen King was a fan of Harry Potter, but I'd be very interested in what he would do with the universe - maybe in the form a short story or novella.

Mattimeo sucked
Outcast for most under-appreciated book

except for Lord Brocktree he was a fag
I think the last really solid one was Marlfox, before they started getting kinda samey
voldemort's story is done as well, are you that thick?
