 Potter ends... December 1, 2008
Ahh, the Harry Potter books comes to an end.
If you haven't understood yet, this IS the last HP book. It's just as good as the one before, if not better.
My only complain is that horrible epilogue, which ruined it for me. I wish I hadn't read it. It gives such a short overview of what happened, doesn't take care of all the characters, and leaves nothing to the (though obvious) imagination. Shame shame.
Still worth the buy though ;D
 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows November 30, 2008
It was very interesting and a good book. I recomended for people of all ages. Is my favorite book of all seven's.
An entertaining and engrossing read November 29, 2008
If you've read all the other Potter books you probably enjoy all the quirky but ever endearing characters. In this final book Lord Voldemort's army grows in power and makes normal life for wizarding community impossible. After the death of Albus Dumbledore Harry, Hermoine and Ron set out to search and destroy the remaining Horcruxes to diminish the power of Lord Voldemort. Climatically Harry and Voldemort clash and all the Wizarding community must choose sides. Luckily, Harry has faithful followers who are willing to do what they can to protect and stand along side with Harry. After months of hiding, searching for Horcuxes and researching the story of the Deadly Hallows Harry sets out and stands alone in front of his arch enemy equipped only with his invisiblity clock, resurection stone and an legendary wand. In his final act of friendship he choses to protect his friends in love the way his mother protected him. After all the most powerful magic in the world is love. You'll find it hard to put this book down. The truth and surprising events are gripping and unforgettable. Friendships will be tested during this supremely difficult time. Read with Kleenex in hand. This book is well worth your time.
JK Rowling Does not Disappoint November 29, 2008
Another outstanding book in the Harry Potter series. Amazing writing and creating...a book you can't put down and only disappoints because the experience is over. How about one more?? You rock JK!
Superb November 28, 2008
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series. J. K. Rowling successfully brings all the threads together for a satisfying resolution. I enjoyed this book tremendously.
Please do not get side-tracked by the critics who seem to get a kick out of pretending that it should have been extremely simple to write a better series of stories. J. K. Rowling did a magnificent job. The last writer to achieve a similar level of ability did so over 50 years ago. In fact, the excitement surrounding the Harry Potter phenomenon resurected many other works in the fantasy gendre. The reader should focus is the question: Does this book, in front of me, catch my interest and entertain my imagination? For each book in the Harry Potter series, my own answer has been, "Yes!"
Is there anything else I should say about this book? Well, there is an area where the book seems to drag a bit. But, after a few re-readings of the book, I have no idea how the problem can be cured or if there is a real need to cure it. Also, there are two or three places where something good happens, apparently, without a decent explanation. My view is that many things happen in real life that stretch the bounds of the possible. So, why is that not possible in this story? I will, simply, remind you that, before Dumbledore's death, a great number of things and forces were set in motion. Also, in Harry's magical world, magical things are not exactly nor completely inanimate. I suggest that some of the fortunate happenings in this book are a result of magical things and forces focusing on a resolution of this battle between good and evil.
Finally, victory comes with a steep price tag. Friends lose their lives. Much ruin and harm occurs. But, the future no longer has a dark cloud hanging over it.
Personally, I would rather sit back and enjoy this superb book than to get side-tracked with small quibbles.
I recommend this book.
