Ok so the chapter may be called the Battle of Hogwarts, but as battles go this sucks! Where are the dementors, werewolves, inferi, giants, other scary monsters that JKR managed to squeeze into this series? (sorry my brain hurts therefore can't think of them all.) As a head-count:
No. of werewolves that showed up: 1 (Greyback, I would assume he was there. I'm not counting Lupin as he can't transform outside of the full moon and no-one mentions one. That and he dies)
No. of Inferi that showed up: 0. So what's the point of them again?
No. of giants that showed up: 1 (Grawp - however due to brainache I may be wrong on this.)
No. of Dementors that put in an appearance: 0
Surely this is not battle. At best we have a rabble. Base it at a pub not a school and you've got enough for a good barroom brawl. But that's about it. Its hardly Helm's Deep is it? Even the trees showed up to that fight! I thought the goblins might put in an appearance for Team Harry, but alas this fight's for wizards only...
