Finished the book, to the great relief of others in the household, because it means they can discuss openly. They showed great restraint.
I've no plans for in-depth comments, but will say that J.K. Rowling more than exceeded my expectations. The conclusion to her 10-year project is thoughtful, well-constructed, exciting, respectful of her characters and her readers, and deeper than perhaps many would have thought. Consider this:
All in all, a splendid achievement.
