The final two, while they had their moments (yaaaaaaay Neville! - I liked something I read somewhere describing Neville as the anti-Wormtail), were not as good. Chapter 35 (King's Cross) did weird things with the pacing. Also, I really didn't like Molly Weasley kicking off her fight with Bellatrix Lestrange by calling her a bitch -- it gave the whole thing an overtone of a catfight when it should been just plain old straight badassery.
