I thought Rowling did a wonderful job wrapping up her epic saga and feel grateful to her for such a fun experience through the years of Potter Mania. I'm so glad that all of the major characters ended up in an exciting showdown at Hogwarts.
Side note: I bought this book the day that it was released at 5 a.m. (after waiting impatiently for the store to open) in Chicago O'Hare airport. I spent my flights and layovers back to Hawaii reading it, and it was a hoot to see so many other Potter nerds wal ...more

I was very disappointed with the conclusion. The way everything came to a head was nice, though the death to life though was a little cliché even if it did work. I just didn't like how the last chapter didn't come together. It skipped so much information! It was like "He's dead!" to "Kids!"

What an amazing ending to such a series! I could not put it down! It made me happy, sad, and everything in between all at once. I can't believe the series is over, but what JK has done for children's books and reading all around is amazing. Read the whole series and look in between the lines for what she is saying.

I'm not a big JKR fan, as her writing style is just not my cup of tea most days, but the style gets better in the latter half of the series. On book 7, while some things were predictable, she threw in enough surprises to make it interesting reading. Good brain candy. ;-)

I loved the thoughtfulness of this book. It is very meditative, but I felt that things were left open and that the last 6 books weren't wrapped up in this book.

I couldn't put down this excellent ending to Rowling's Harry Potter series.
