Excellent finish - By: Ms. C. L. Harwood, 16 Nov 2008
Everyone who has read the Harry Potter series knows how fun, interesting & addictive it is to read, so the seventh book is essential for those who have dabbledin the others. Possibly the most engaging book of them all, this last edition takes a different style into what would be Harry's final year at Hogwarts. The sixth book was said to be dark but it isin the seventh that great change happens. The plot deepends enormously as do the characters, who have grown up so much since their first days. J.K. Rowling is a gift to children & adults alike. Conclusion: essential reading if you have read the others, although really that goes without saying!

The series end left me speechless and depressed - By: Ms. S. L. Schopmeyer, 08 Nov 2008
I'd like to say that I was not one of the people who grew up with Harry Potter, it was around me but I never felt interested enough to have a read & even disliked the hype so much that I could have never imagined reading & absolutely loving it.
Eventually, at 22, I gave the first book a chance & read itin a day & I quite enjoyed it, needless to say the more books I read of the series, the more obsessed & involved did I feel & at the last book, The Deathly Hallows I could not imagine that this journey has come to an end.
I felt at points frustrated at the slow pace & not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I think JK Rowling made it quite clear that a big part of this book is about frustration, patience & somewhat hopelessness.
When I then finished this book I wasin tears, well I wasin tears throughout the book but the end just hit me hard & I realised that there won't be any more books & what I've read can never be read again the same way. I felt depressed, not because it was a bad book, quite the opposite, it was such a good book & such a good series that I felt like I lost friends. As sad as this sounds, I feel that Rowling created a world so detailed, so close to my heart that the end of it felt like a funeral. I think she felt quite the same & of course even worse when she was writing the last chapters of this book & I cannot even imagine the pain she felt for saying goodbye to Harry & his friends.
I don't think any book has touched me the way these did, not because it is the smartest or funniest book I've read but because it feels so real that it is hard to imagine it isn't. For this, I thank JK Rowling, she enriched my life with this epic story & I hope, for generations to come, they feel the same way about it.

Amazing - By: Langdon Ulder, 16 Oct 2008
The Deathly Hallows is the best book I have ever read, I honestly couldn't put it down. All the questions that werein the books are answered & the story gripped me from beginning to end. Although the ending is weak, this is JK Rowling's masterpiece. A must-have.

I couldn't put it down - By: , 12 Oct 2008
This thing, the deathly hallows, the beginning wasn't the best beginning, but... I could not stop reading it. I don't understand why people think the ending is disappointing. The Nineteen years later could be expanded into a book, maybe, but, if J.K doesn't then that's all we really need to know to end the Harry potter phenomenon. Hopefully she will deliver another H.P book, because I know, I know, it won't end here.
