*opinion warning*
Did Molly really call Bellatrix a bitch in the last book? My hazy memory says yes, but any kind of rational thought process says no...
Not because I think it's inappropriate for YA -- quite the opposite -- it actually had an absurdly trivializing effect on the death of one of the main villains imo. I mean holy shit, Bellatrix was a crazy evil motherfucker, not a high-schooler with a snotty attitude.
Seriously. Who told JKR it was a good writing decision to make every character death lame and unaffecting? That's what really left a bad taste in my mouth after the series was over, way more than the epilogue. I can't remember most of the characters who died, even though some of them were characters I loved. The heartlessness of it made me stop caring.
I didn't think HBP was so great either, but there's stuff in it that I'm glad the fandom has. DH was just so pointlessly destructive. It felt like a bored and frustrated kid kicking over her own sandcastle.
Oh well. *goes back to writing*

And not only that but she was all "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH"
I think I saw a Lifetime movie called that once.
