Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Spoiler...

J.K. Rowling ends the Harry Potter series of books in grand style in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

Along with the usual action, adventure, subterfuge and running desperately through hallways that are included in each and every book in the series, readers will be pleased to find themselves right and angered to find themselves wrong on nearly every prediction they made about the book. While nearly every speculation I had heard about the book before it's release was proven both correct and incorrect simultaneously by the end of the book, this only goes to show that Rowling's capacity to jerk the reader around has really developed nicely.

Murder, pride, deceit, glory and more await those who have not yet finished the book, but you already knew that. *wink*

All in all, I will have to say that despite the many times I had to stop reading aloud in order to take time out to cry, this was a perfect ending to the series.

Did he die? Will someone answer that question for me and my husband we are 56 and 57 and thought we would wait before getting the book. Our neighbors kids laugh at me reading Harry Potter on the front step.....

I have finished the book long ago and I cried three times before page one hundred. I was absolutly suprized by the ending. I too stayed up until midnight to get the book.

Thanks for the review. I haven't read the book yet, but as soon as it becomes available at my library (which I don't think that they've even BOUGHT it yet... horror!) I'm planning on reading it. It just seems like a letdown... Too bad it's over.

Personally, I think the end left a lot of unanswered questions still. Don't get me wrong, it was a really good book. There were times I had to step away and had a lot of trouble reading on for fear of what would happen. But I would have liked to see a chapter on the 19 years from the end to the last chapter. I thought that very last chapter was kind of lame and a letdown after all the action up to that chapter.
