   Weird. I expected folks to think my questions sappy, as I said   
   "sentimental", but I didn't believe it'd sound like some kind of "scam".   
   I'm really sorry if it came across that way. I have no "schtick" and I'm   
   not paid to write anything. I didn't believe anyone "stupid" and the   
   only "info" I was looking for, was a bit of personal insight...wisdom   
   really, on how long-time fans kinda dealt with walking away from the   
   series, the books in particular.   
      
   Even with the constant threat, Rowling seemed to create a kind of warm   
   and comfortable world in the first three books atleast, and the films   
   seemed to reflect this as well, ultimately only to turn that world   
   upside down and basically wreck it entirely by the end. There was a lot   
   of character development with no real conclusion for most of the   
   characters and some felt very hastily resolved, Remus and Tonks for   
   example. Ultimately, even though I was thankful for the epilogue in the   
   seventh book, it seemed to raise more questions than it answered. I   
   guess I was sort of wondering if I were the only one to both really   
   enjoy the series and wish to see it succeed, but also feel a rather   
   oppressive sense of loss and finality, with no genuine resolution.
