It's the FINAL BOOK, folks! After ten years, we finally come to the grand extravaganza that is The Deathly Hallows and boy! was it a ride and then some. Harry is now set to hunt for the Horcruxes and goes with his best friends Ron and Hermione. However, the sudden knowledge of something called 'The Deathly Hallows' causes our hero to re-think Dumbledore's plans on defeating Voldermort. But hold on! What's this about Dumbledore not being all that he's claimed to be? There's a new book out that purports our favorite headmaster as a man with a lot of secrets. Not only that, Professor Snape has even more of a backstory that's bound to shock the reader. In the end, the great battle is fought, all our favorite characters make their return - lives are lost, new ones begin and by the time you're through, you feel you've been there with these characters from the beginning!

Everyone and anyone who enjoys fantasy, magic and good fun storytelling.

Harry's development in this book. He's definitely matured (even though there are moments of chidlish whims) but one can see that he has made an effort to become a better man. I also liked his relationships with Ron and Hermione and a few other characters in the book. My aboslute favorite was the final battle scenes. J.K Rowling did a wonderful job!

The sudden deaths of Lupin, Tonks and Fred (well his death was expected but it came as a shock to me all the same). I also didn't like the character development of Ginny Weasly. Oh, do not get me started on how 'odd' she acted in this book. Quite confusing. And last but not least, the epilogue, I could have done without. I did not see the need for it, and even if she had to use it, I'm sure she could have written it in a much better way. It was quite confusing and made no sense to me.

Re-read it again...or better yet I went to watch 'The Order of the Phoenix' in theaters.

Relieved it was all over.

J.K Rowling

It is a finale that was just about done right...there are a few questions that were still left, but J.K Rowling has promised an encyclopedia of sorts to answer them. That I have to pick up once it comes out.

With all the hoopla made about this, all things considered it was a good book and a good way to end things for Harry and his friends. I would have liked to see a few things changed around, but that's just me. Definitely a must read for all Potter fans who have grown up with him over the years!
