Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows [+ favourites]

The final chapter is over. Why is this book being so highly praised? I thought it was depressing and very anticlimactic. Entertaining just like all the previous books, but nothing I would consider a "triumph" or "masterful."

i also thought it was quite depressing.the only part in the end that i was really psyched about was the whole deal with Snape and Dumbledore and how their relationship unraveled through the series.i like the details of the 19-years-later thing,like how Harry was married to Ginny and had children and everything.but like Wyote said,it was very anti-climactic.

i'd give the book a 6/10

"Whatever doesn't kill you will.....well,it will hurt like hell, but it wont kill you."

wow i would of never though of harry marrying ginny!

"Jingle ALL the way!"

I thought it was a good book.It just sucks what happened to fred,remus,tonks and others. oh yea and george feelin saintlike.I like the part where mrs.weasley duels ... ummm, i forgot what the name is.I thought harry and hermione would marry ,not ron and her.

yeah the book was getting really good then you read the end. not so good. did like the 19 year later thing though.
oh yeah and Mrs. Weasley duels Belatrix Lestrange.

It's got to be anti-climatic and different from all the other books since it has to end. It was really weird because they were never in school, unbelievably depressing, and lacked a good conclusion. But it's a page-turner, has sold millions of copies, and now we can all rest our curios minds and wonder how else she could have ended the series.

Well, I did enjoy the book and thought good on her for managing to round it off and give the series an end , which must have been difficult to do. I did think it was a bit dark and depressing and the end battle between the great Harry Potter and he who shall not be named was like a wet candle fizzling out, what was up with that? The heaven thing was a bit weird and although I liked the 19 year on view of their lives I just thought she could have done so much more. Anyway it was still a good read and I couldn't put it down, which I can't say about many books.

I really, really hope that she doesn't waste her talent and not write any more books. I would love to see something completely different from her (nothing to do with Harry Potter) perhaps an adult fantasy series. Anyway I wish they'd hurry up with the next film I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

when it ended i felt like i was saying goodbye to an old friend. the fourth was rocked, with the tournement.
