My short review:
I absolutely LOVED it. I loved every minute of each of the 16 hours reading it. (Yes, I am a slow reader.)
Everything was answered. All the characters were attended to. Nothing was forgotten or left out. I was amazed how well she wound up the whole series!
Favorite parts:
- Chapter 33. I cried through the whole chapter. I usually don't cry! I didn't for the death of Dumbledore or Sirius, but for this, I couldn't stop. And each time the character was mentioned after this chapter I nearly choked up.
- How Bella was dealt with.
- Hagrid
- The twins
- Luna and her father. But mostly Luna.
- What we learn about Dumbledore
- The Malfoys
- Neville!!
I can't wait to read it again.
I loved it much, much more than I thought I would. Honest. After the OotP film (which I did NOT like at all) I was very nervous about this. Now, I have just decided that the books are the books, and the movies are... something else. I don't have to like them for the books to be great!
