I loved the Australian sequence at the end. The reaction to the elimination of Riddle was interesting, I rather doubt that anyone who'd immediately respond to an order, apparently from Tommy-boy, to assemble was truly redeemable. My take would be that anyone who was redeemable would've made some move earlier. I thought the ending of this time at Hogwarts was nicely done. What remains to be seen, though, is how Dumbles and the British Ministry cope with the aftermath of the destruction of Riddle and his immediate minions, do they keep on doind the same as they have, thus ensuring the future rise of another dark lord, or do they work earnestly to change wizarding Brittain for the better? I'm rather cynically betting the first, though I'd love to see good people like Amelia Bones over-ride a now somewhat-discredited Albus and work to remake wizarding England into an open and more free society, removing the stullifying and deleterious effects of puerblood control;the smacl-down of Albus could be quite entertaining.
