    Not to mention the richest woman in Britain.

    It would be really hard to stay in the same genre and I wouldn't be surprised to see it take her a while to churn out the next book. That being said, most writers only have one great book in them, and a lot of good ones. She was able to create one of the finest epic written series of all time. Not to shabby for a career.

    The movie is going to be fun. But this one has so much action in it, it's going to be hard to trim it down w/o losing a lot of the story.

    Loved it, thought it was a great ending to the series. I hated that Lupin, Tonks and Fred didnt make it, but I guess she had to get rid of some characters.
    It was hard for me to realize that Snape was actually a good guy after hating him for so long.And Neville became one of my favorite characters in the last couple of books, and he didnt disapoint in this book.




    I never believed he was bad.

    I enjoyed the book, but I guess I was expecting more from it. I hated the epilogue. She should have written about the other surviving characters as well. The action was great, although the final battle between Harry and Voldemort was kinda lame.

    It was so sad the Dobby died and also when he was walking to his death and the ghost of his parents and godfather came out. I loved that Dumbledore was an asshole with a dark past. The Snape was a spy because he still loved Lily thing, IMO, made Snape's character less complex. I mean Snape was the most mysterious and complex character in the series, but it turns out he did it all for unrequited love that he could never get over?

    Apart from a few plot holes, the book was enjoyable. Not the best one in the series, but a good one nonetheless.

    Snape was my favorite character. He was the kick ass anti-hero who was cold, dark, and I don't give a at ude, but was quite brilliant as Dumbledores and doormat and he hated the main character, but was good for some apparent reason and had ties to the criminal underworld (Voldemort's possie).

    Yea I wish they would of told a bit more at the end of the Epilogue like what George was doing, or Luna, and pretty much everyone else. I think the Snape character is still probably one of the best of the series because he defied Voldemort for the one thing Voldemort could never understand.

    After Snape killed Dumbledore, he was telling Harry what to learn before he fights Voldemort.

    Crookshanks was at the Burrow with them, she was never mentioned after they escaped the wedding.

    Unless I missed something in my marathon reading!

    Abracadabra.

    Harry Potter don't got on David Blaine. Blaine would go straight up to Voldemort and be like: Pick a card, any card. Voldemort will and once the trick is over his head will explode, because of the sheer amazement his brain just witnessed.

    So in all the books who do you think whacked in the most painful fashion?

    I think the way Snape went was pretty vicious.

    Anyone Bellatrix killed, she likes to play with her food before eating it(Crucio)...The gardener at the riddle house was bad(same as snape, but he had also been blamed for killing Riddles, so both Physical and emotional pain of being made an outcast)...I'd say Wormtail though.

    no............Criss Angel wasn't even a full-time magician to start out, he was in some band that got nowhere. Blaine is ing cool. He doesn't need his own show. It's in the streetz, that's where it's at!

    I finished reading the book 2:30 in the morning, since I realized that the best time for me to read was late at night when no one else is awake.

    When I finished, it, my first reaction was "Wow. Just, wow." JK really outdid herself in this one. It was sad that a lot of good characters died. At first, I was only concerned for Ron and Hermione, and some of the characters I've learned to love like Hagrid and the Weasleys. But in the end, during the Battle of Hogwarts (which was really awesome), I didn't want any of the good ones to die. It was amazing for them to keep fighting for Harry.

    Snape's story didn't surprise me that much because of all the speculations that arose after he 'killed' Dumbledore in Book 6. Because he didn't really appear in this book until the last few chapters, I didn't feel too sad when he died and when I finally learned about his story. It was pretty noble, what he did for Harry.

    JK really is a brilliant author. It's hard enough to put pieces of a puzzle in one mystery book. For her to lay it in bits and pieces in seven books, and string them together in the final one takes a great deal of imagination and commitment.

    I actually liked the epilogue. Maybe too happy for adult readers but what the heck, I think they all deserved that kind of ending after all they've been through.

    This is going to be on top of my favorites for quite some time. And while a part of me is glad that I finally know the whole story, another part is pretty damn sad to see it end.

    Apart from a few plot holes, the book was enjoyable. Not the best one in the series, but a good one nonetheless.
    Just curious...What plot holes did you find?

    That's where Rowling went wrong, ending the series. She should just rake in some more cash, but making up some BS. Like Voldemort comes back and so does Dumbledore and they like fuse into a super wizard and Harry and Ron have to like fuse to beat them or some like that. Harry Potter 8: Fusion Reborn. LMAO
