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!

I loved it so so so so so so much!! I really loved all the couples, but I wish some of the people hadn't died.......I can't belive it's over, but the legacy will live on!!!

I LOVED the book but to me it seemed like there wasn't a closing feeling to the series so (for now) I'm refusing to belive that there won't be something more.

and I eithermissed what happend to 3 people or they weren't mentioned after the firstfew chapters, I kinda wanted to know what happened to them.

Loved it! There were some deaths that were uncalled for, but it was a fantastic tale.

I Loovved it!!!!!!!! I thought it was a bit confusing at times but not enough to bother anyone. It was the best one, in my opinion. I do hope she releases another book. That would be Soooooo great. It really showed that everyone is not perfect, but that it is only human to be flawed and it is okay.J.K Rowling really outdid herself this time. It was Perfect.

OMG

This book was brilliant, one of my favs after POA just cos i LOVED that, but this was amazing in a different kind of way.

cos of....

• the intricate details
• the sub plots of the plots.
• The best thing i loved was the fact of the rememberance skills you need and if your a crazy larger than life fan (like me) there where about 5 places were you knew what you were looking for threee or more chapters ahead, but JKR still had me gripped cos i knwo whats she likes and a few times i slipped up.

fav parts without saying in order of emotional value crying or laughin......

1. SNAPE
2. THE LAST FOUR CHAPTERS....
3. DOBBY
4. MRS WEASLEY IN THE LAST CHAPTERS
5. DUMBLEDORE FAMILY KNOWLEDGE
6. FRED AND GEORGE
7. LUPIN AND TONKS
8. RON RON

OMG i cant wait tor ead it again as i dont skim the books a bit but took this one in so much, never cried so much to a book before...


WELL DONE JKR and thank you for a big part of 10 years of my 21 life!!!

great book, great writing, great witand great woman!!!

I cried. So hard.
Tonks and Remus....*wails, stops to snog Teddy, then runs off wailing*

i loved Ms.Weasley near the end it was so funny
i was suprised that certain characters DIDNT die
And i was suprised that certain characters died
The the VERY last chapter seemed incomplete without enough info

LOVED IT!! It was brillient, magnificent, perfect. Absolutly the best.

I was surprised that a few characters died, espeically..._____ I think his secret name was. Poor guy....we'll miss him *tear*
I knew, even before the book was published (actually when HBP was published) that...uh...____ would die. I don't know why, but it was a gut feeling.

I cryed at the end, when he was going into the woods and he had the ____ Stone. No need to say more.

Best book!! Ever! Period.

I loved this book!
i reckon that it was the best book in the series, but the only things that for me weren't cleared up (i probably just missed it) were the voices heard from the veil in dep. of mysteries (OoTP) and also how _____ isn't surprised or shocked to see harry, ron, hermione at Shells Cottage after they hadn't been seen by anyone or sent word to anyone of their being there. Only those at Shell Cottage knew.

Wow.
It's over.
Deaths of many did not go to waste, right?
Harry was fantastic.
JK Rowling put the character of Harry in us... We followed the books from the beginning and she took us in a great journey, she truly is a magical writer.
As I read the book, I felt like I was Harry... when he felt fooled by Dumbledore at one chapter... I felt the same, that I was fooled too by Dumbledore and was hurt same as Harry... And at _____'s revealing tale... I was ashamed to think he was what I thought he was in the previous books, as Harry did feel in some way... Even when Harry said the Taboo after tuning in the wireless that they got into trouble, I wanted to see Harry face to face and punch him on the nose for being so thick... yet, the plot needed to happen... I realized that when they rescued a lot of prisoners... Oh, yeah, JK really did a great job. She made us part of the books and the books are really part of us regardless of whatever lineage we are from. The denial is impossible...
I could go on and on about the great characters, the unbelievable plots, the unimaginable creations of the ideas in the book...
But one thing is for sure, the epilogue of the story meant a new beginning and I loved the idea of _____'s replica... of being unsure of where he will be sorted...
We were left hanging to make our own story, to make our own discussions, to make our own arguments, to have our own inspiration... JK Rowling left us a treasure that we will still talk about for years or possibly decades...
Clever clever...

Well, HP will never die. I am sure. Because the fanfictions will never let it die.
Thank you, JK Rowling. Your story taught the world that choosing will always be the next step to a better one.

We can find truth even in children's books. It is truly MAGIC.

this was by far my favorite harry potter as well. i laughed out loud, kicked my feet when something exciting was happening, got worried that some plans might not work and cried. i agree that there were no loose ends, i think that everything was wrapped into a nice little package. i have no questions and i won't change a darn thing. when i finished i held the book to my chest for about 15 minutes and just smiled. it was a wonderful end and im not quite sure how any others could follow.

At first I was a tad shocked of many of the deaths that happened rather quickly and unbelievingly.

I loved the couples and the kids names.

Best, best,best book in the series!

I couldn't have written it better myself.

Although those deaths were unnecessary...........

I especially loved learning more about he's still my fave besides Harry ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I thought it was a great book...chapters 32 and 33 had me crying for many many minutes and it took me a while to get the courage to continue reading...but i loved all the detail, the plot twists and the background information on Dumbledore which probably gives us the reason why he believes in second chances so much.

I loved it. It was a greatest book the best in the series in my opinion. It kept my intrest the whole way through.

I can't express how this books was for me !!! Sick!! lol I loved It , its was bloody brilliant . I love every thing about this book , it was well worth the wait , My fav part was when HARRY AND RON HUG !!! I cryed when Dobby died but im sure thats was the way he would of wanted to go. Thanx JKR
