    An excellent book...

    Pros: JK Rowling's best work yet...

    Cons: Not all questions answered, even if they are minor ones.

    As I said, this is JK Rowling's best work yet. She seemlessly tied up all the loose ends from the previous books using even those minor clues that you tend to forget about. I think my greatest disappointment was how abruptly it ended without find...ing out anything that happened afterwards until 19 years later. There were several questions that I had that were left unanswered, even if they were minor. It would have been really cool to find out if Harry did indeed become an Auror (which was a big deal back in Book 5) as an example. All in all, a very good read and well worth the money and time.

    A Fitting Grand Finale!

    Pros: Action Packed

    Cons: Character Deaths & Epilogue

    A good tie up to almost all the loose-ends. I must say that JK Rowling really did save the best for last. There's fast paced action, emotions & everything which makes it a cool read. The romance part of the story is something that I can't acc...ept (yes, the R/Hr & H/G ship) because I still feel that it's just too sudden & they're like forced to happen in order to tell a story. As for the character deaths, Percy should have died instead. His about u-turn really gives me a shock. The most emotional part of the story is where Harry dug the grave, his grief is so real that you can actually feel it. The epilogue is a letdown though, I really wish to know how all the others fare rather than concentrate on the ships. Overall it's an exciting read & thanks JK for the fantastic journey!

Pro Reviews: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    It is Ms. Rowling's achievement in this series that she manages to make Harry both a familiar adolescent--coping with the banal frustrations of school and dating--and an epic hero, kin to everyone from the young King Arthur to Spider-Man and Luke Skywalker.

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    Harry and Rowling rally their troops so successfully, it's almost painful to be stuck on the sidelines. As always, Rowling's greatest strength is the ability to whisk readers away to a fully imagined world...For one last time, fans will be longing to grab a wand, hop on their broom, and join the fray.

Publisher Notes: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

  • Ten years after Potter-mania first swept the globe, the epic series draws to a close with HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, the hotly anticipated seventh and final book of the internationally revered Harry Potter series. Prophecies will be fulfilled. Beloved characters will die. Questions will be answered. (Is Dumbledore really gone forever? Who is R.A.B.? Is Severus Snape truly a villain?) In this final volume, Harry's seemingly impossible quest is to discover the locations of the remaining horcruxes--items sacred to Lord Voldemort containing shreds of his soul, making him immortal--and destroy them, saving the world from becoming a Death Eaters' paradise where Muggles are prey and purebloods rule. Accompanied by Ron and Hermione, Harry embarks on a dangerous, confusing, and often frustrating journey to discover the horcruxes. The trio is repeatedly in dire straits, making their mission seem, at times, doomed.

    Throughout the series, author J. K. Rowling has been steadily escalating events towards the climactic battle between Harry and the Dark Lord, and numerous seemingly trivial details from the previous novels play important roles--proof of Rowling's masterly control of the sprawling and multi-layered "wizarding world" she has invented. By far the darkest of the novels, this impressive finale shows Harry bereft of his godfather, Sirius Black, the wise and secretive Dumbledore, and even his friends: he is forced to truly grow up and face a fight where he is the sole lynchpin in the battle between righteousness and a nearly omnipotent evil. With modern problems re-imagined in a magical setting, echoes of Christianity, and an unwavering faith in goodness, Rowling's epic saga will remain a children's classic for generations to come. A 2007 New York Times Notable Book and a nominee for the 2008 Nebula Prize.
