Geez - was it hard to finish this book without seeing any spoilers!
I bow to Rowling's greatness.
I'll admit to finding the epilogue a bit lame but otherwise the story was fantastic.

I have not cried at the end of a book in years but this one had me gushing. When it was over I had this overwhelming feeling of...it's over...it's really over...there is no more to look fo ...more

No spoilers here, in case anyone who's still reading is wondering. I was almost completely pleased with this book -- and that's great, because I was really worried that I would be horribly disappointed. I found it almost entirely satisfying. I'm not sure I could have (realisticly)asked for more. Insert happy sigh here! Now, how long should I wait before re-reading?

I finished it in one sitting. The pace of the book had my pulse racing in parts. I laughed, I cried, and in the end...well I was content. I'm sad that it all had to come to an end, but thank you J. K. Rowling. What a wonderful, exhilarating, magical journey!

it worked, but i am quite sad now that the journey is over. sigh. strange that they are going to make it into two movies as i think this one could be condensed much more easily than some of the others. perhaps they are afraid of the end of the income....
The following link leads to my blog commentary on the book, which doesn't go into specifics but does contain a pretty big spoiler. Be warned.

This book was one of my favorites in the series. Very hard to put down. It wrapped up a little neatly, but that's okay in children's stories. I was sad to say goodbye to these characters.

my only two complaints are that a.)it's over and b.)she didn't embellish more on what the characters chose for careers.

A truly fantastic ending to a wonderful series. Rowling dug down deep on this one and pulled out all the stops.
