Liked it, but totally in denial at the moment.

I'm sure it'll end up my favorite book, but right now I'm still upet about the death

Some idiot spoiled me about the death so I was prepared for it all the way through.

It is my favorite book in the series so far, followed by 4 and then closely by 3.

I really like it... as much as all the others but I still can't believe the death... I've begun to re-read it again... but I'm taking it a bit slower this time... trying to find hints and all that stuff...
Many won't like it... but you can't please everybody and I for one am still a huge HP fan if not an even bigger one!

well it was very good.
i did like how everything kind of fell into it's place... a lot of long awaited questions are answerd.
but i am still a bit unnerved about the death.
also the ending was in my opinion very interesting and raised a lot of new questions.

I'm in love with it , I voted best HP book ever. Though I, like others, am in denial. Loads of people posted (on a different site of course) a very rude spoiler in picture form which I couldn't avoid looking at (though I thought it to be fake at the time) *scowls* so I too knew about the death before hand, which is mostly what I'm in denial about. I'm still going back and reading past pages, making sure it's all really there and I'm not going mad..

For me its like the 2nd best book out of the series. It was, I think, written better than the other books. She explained all the complex emotions so well that you understood what they were going through and sympathized with the characters better than ever!

no doubt it was a great book, I think we'd all agree everything JK touches is pure gold. But I was disappointed in this perticular book. It was an information book. A starter for the last battle. But there were a lot of answers still that weren't answered, even after the all those lessons. I still think there could have been more of a story line, and there really wasn't.

The book was soooooo good! It was the best one yet! I was sooo sad after the death. I cried so much after it happened. I stayed up all night crying about it. i got like two hours of sleep that night. But it still was sooo good. The romance was funny. sad, and like WOW! This book was great. I can't wait till the 7 book comes out!

I loved the book. I thought it was great. But compared to other previous books JK published, I felt this book needed to be about 200 pages more.

I felt that JK could have built up the relationships more instead of simply telling us Harry liked Ginny. I felt that JK could have gone in deeper about the search of the HBP or just about everything else. I felt that the book was rushed in some parts; thus, it was great but not excellent.

Great book, a bit more angsty than the other five, and riveting. I couldn't put it down. The death shook me up a bit, I was also shocked at the one who caused the death. I'm upset about the couplings also, but a part of me knew it was going to be like that, so I was prepared. JK worked her magic again!

i tend to judge the books by what happens, and i hated what happened in this book.

but, one thing the book did do for me, besides tears, was a sudden liking for Harry.

i still hate this book.

Like others have said I thought the book was good, but it definately could have been better. I just felt as though everything was a little rushed...As fr2nc1z said if it had been about 200 pages longer it would have been absolutely fabulous... Jo is still just as captivating as always however.

(I am IamKrum, from a LONG time ago.. But lost my pw and stuff cause I haven't been on in so long )
I just finished the book, and I am shocked. Not by the death really... But in question about book 7? Those who have read it probably will understand what I mean. The ending of the book was so... Endy-ish, but then again, it left out so much to be done in book 7.

wonderful book.
somethings are totally unexpected.
love indeed was in the air.
way too much snogging for someone though.
the person that died, I mean killed. I cried buckets for him!
the last chapter was really emotional.
the HBP! i hate him! who doesnt?!

At some parts I thought this book was to be my favorite, but now it falls behind out of line. The romance was good, it was just that there was more than needed, and that clogged up the main plot. Which, by the way, left the story line bumpy, not flowing as well as it did in the other five installments.
But something extremely major wasn't really happening, that is, 'till the end of the book. Harry had a suspicion of somebody and a helpful book, but that wasn't as breathtaking as the Triwizard Tournament, escaped prisoner from Azkaban, Chamber of Secrets being opened, ect.

Agreed. So it was good, just it could have been better. Yep.

I hated it. Because you know what happened to you know who. Ok, so I liked it. I'm a sucker for romance. And snogging. ahaha. ANYWAY...a lot of unexpected things happened, some good, some bad...i just don't know how Harry will manage now that...well, you know...Waaaahhh... And i can't believe that...he...did that...and...
