It was really a perfect storm. People can usually ignore canon they dislike and work around their ship being sunk, but the combination of the ending's sappy sentimentality and the puerile "pairing up every single named character for obligatory babies ever after" thing was fatal. In a fandom that big with that much anticipation for each book, it was inevitable that she was going to piss off someone, but she still managed to piss off a truly impressive proportion of her fanbase.

I think it's also one of those things where like... the people who were satisfied with the resolution mostly just were satisfied with it and let it end at that. The people who had a reason to keep caring about the ending were mostly people who disliked it, for whatever reason. So they end up dominating the discourse just by virtue of that fact.

Yep. I don't think the epilogue was necessary (and indeed I think it would probably be a stronger ending if we finished with Harry wondering if Creacher would bring him a sandwich), but it would be a bit weird to wander around telling people that basically I thought it was a bit meh but I don't have a huge problem with it!
