I thought the first half of the book was a little slow, but it got much better in the second half.

So, I guess, overall, yeah, it was good.. the final battle made up for the slow start. But I don't think I'd call it my favourite book...perhaps a re-read will change my mind though.

My favourite book by far.

IT WAS AMAZING!!!

EVEN BEYOND AMAZING!!

Just when i thought "omgosh this is the end...NOOO!!" and then i'd realize i had another 300 more pages...stop again...realize again another 200 or so...and continues

The thing that really got me really into it, was the fact that there was no dumbledore to protect them, and they werent at school most of the time, So they were completely on their own, they only had each other

IT WAS GREAT..hehe

I think it's brilliant and a perfect endind though full of sadness as well, because of the deaths...
Now have read it I really feel quite empty. Feelings are split somehow...I feel content, becaue it really is...so extrodonary, but I'm quite sad as well realising that it really was the last book and I'll never going to be having this sensation of reading a new one, with all the adventures and characters.

J.K., you may never write another HP book at all, but thanks for leaving us with the kids to continue our fan fiction!

I loved the book, utterly and completely. This is the third best book in fiction, It's amazing. (1, Eldest, 2, Eragon). And even though it takes third in best book placement, it takes a tie for number 1 in the ending! IT WAS AWESOME!!!

I can't believe Madeye died so early in the book, and Hedwig, didn't see that one coming. The first good guy to die wasn't even a guy, it was a bird, what's that all about?!?!?!?! And Snape, I really wanted Snape to survive in the end, but I did not have my wish granted.

I loved the scene where the slytherin girl called out to grab Harry, and every single person, not only in gryffindor, but in hufflepuff and ravenclaw as well stood and took his side. It was so amazing and touching, everyone who had ever made fun of Harry or laughed when he said the dark lord was back, or any other time they thought he was an arrogant prick from the daily prophet, is forgiven by me when this happens. They all realize what he's been through, and none of them are going to turn him over, not to the one thing they know he must destroy in the end.

^^^That is my favorite part in the book by far.

The only real disappointment that I had was the final battle between Voldemort and Harry lasted, what, 2 minutes, and there was two spells involved, but that's o.k., I understand it's because of the plot and who the wand must bend its will to.

I was almost seriously ****** at Dumbledore, and I mean seriously. If he would have really been raising Harry to kill him, and he wouldn't have even thought about how he could save him(LIKE TELLING HIM TO GET THE HALLOWS BEFORE DOING IT!!!), I would have never forgiven him. I still don't forgive him, I just might in due time.

I'm not even going to summarize the beginning of the book, it was just so amazing, and crammed. I felt like I had been through five hundred pages and I look down and I go HOLY CRAP, I'm only on page 200. It was crazy, but in a great way, and because of the fact that she didn't have Hogwarts(until the end), she had to write it sort of like how Chris wrote Eragon, which is the same way it makes it my favorite book, so hats off to J.K. for the brilliant move.

Checkmate!

THE BEST HARRY POTTER BOOK EVER!!!

I was loving it to start, but in the middle, kind of dissappointed. Mainly, I didn't like it during the times it was simply harry and hermione camping out and barely figuring anything out. The last chapters, however, were amazing!! I'll be honest, I cried at some of the deaths, the first time I've ever cried in an HP book, I cried about 3 times....yeah.

When the last chapter (not including the epilogue) ended, I thought there was going to be one more after it and when it went straight to the epilogue, i was like, "oh, it's ended," and was upset. i think she didn't do some characters justice in how they died. i didn't like that we thought some people were fine and then all of a sudden, "Harry sees them dead on the ground" and then just moved along. I was ticked at that. I would have liked perhaps a tiny battle scene and had one die. There was no epic battles except LV vs Harry. I was hoping to read about a huge battle between neville and bellatrix, fenrir and remus, but no. at least there was molly's sweet battle.

Let me say, Neville's Grandmother is the coolest character I have ever read about since the twins! She is awesome!

I liked it, it was really really good, just not what I expected in the least ....

I loved it!!! But I'm still kind of depressed that the series has ended. I just couldn't believe it!! The book was perfect...but there were some cheesy parts...but it doesn't change what I feel about the book.

I absolutely loved this book! It is a fitting end to Harry's magical epic. JKR really out did herself with book 7. Nothing can descibe it other than - AMAZING!!!!!

Awesomely Awesome!
The best in the series.

It was good I was slightly disappointed with it tbh... *avoids rocks being thrown at her* but I cant dis JK cause she's done an amazing job.

It was, beyond anything I have ever read of hers! It answered all of my questions, I must have cried a kajillion tears through it but it was so worth the wait! And it helped that I avoided as many spoilersas possible!

Ohh, same here. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who didn't cry during hte other two but absolutely break down when Harry was making his death march and all of his relatives appear

Best book in the series. My new favorite, which is really saying something considering I've had the third book as my favorite since I was in 6th grade.
(7 years!) So many plots turns, she brought almost everything full circle. Loved it, re-reading it as we speak

I feel like a traitor now I'm about to say what I think.............

I hated it.

I have waited so long for this, so long that on Thursday night I bearly slept a wink imagining who was going to die, would Snape be a good bloke, would Dumbledore ressurect himself, would Ron die saving Hermione, would Draco be a yellow bellied chicken, would Bellatrix and Voldey fall in love and have babies.................

I could go on but I won't.

It was by far the worst book of the series. For 20 chapters I was yearning for something to happen, for some twist or occurence to make me sit up and start thinking about what was happening. Nothing, until half way through the book, and then it was so rushed I had to re-read some of it!!!!

As for the end? JK had second thoughts and let Harry live, of that I'm sure. And the 2 deaths that were so heavily publicised? Just terrible, it was like she sacrificed them to save Harry. The only good thing to come out of this book is that I predicted everything, even down to Fred, but I was wrong about Harry.

I cried, I'll admit that!! As Harry fares up to Voldey, his bravery and courage was wonderfully transferred onto the pages, it was like the graveyard chapter in GOF, so evocative and moving, I couldn't help but think it was the end...........I wish it had've been!!! I also loved the way JK developed the relationship between Hermione and Harry and the internal struggles that they both endured.

All in all, I'm disappointed. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I can't let Harry go, and that's what I needed from this book, to have an end and to say goodbye, I feel robbed of that. I'll always be wondering if he'll be back, if Voldemort will be back..................
