Rating: - Disappointing in More Ways than One
The seventh installment of the Harry Potter series left me feeling high and dry at a time I felt I should have been celebrating. It was the end of an era! My defining childhood literature! And yet Rowling's attempt to bundle her created world into one neat little parcel failed miserably.

Without giving any specifics, I felt that the deviation from Hogwarts did not suit the characters at all. Their 'journey' fell flat in my eyes - a cowardly tactic despite the devastation in the world surrounding. The unbridled skewering of characters left and right seemed reminiscent of a B-grade horror film. A hundred pages in I was afraid Voldemort would be left by the sidelines in favor of much more controllable zombie armies to finish off all of the light side.

Any romance attempting to develop during the story line is utterly lost in the constant movement and action, which turned more boring then battle intense by the end of the novel. The final battle is overly dramatic and missing some vital characteristic that I am still unaware of. And can anyone say hero complex?

But beside all that, I believe the most horrible part of the ending to this generations defining series is the Epilogue. Not only does it attempt to give the next twenty years' worth of history in less than twenty pages, but it was uncalled for. What happened to letting the reader decide what happens? Who needs a pretty bow telling you that so-and-so lived happily ever after with fifteen kids, the end? J.K. Rowling, borrowing one of her favorite lines, completely bulloxed the ending with a few words too many.

In conclusion, steer clear of this book. The only thing that lies here is eight hours of pure disappointment.

Rating: - Great Book!!!
Great ending to a great series. My favorite is still Book 6 but this one is a by far second best. It is sad to see it all end.

Rating: - Harry Potter Series - Deathly Hollows
I enjoyed this book and do not want to give the impression that I did not - but this series has slowly switched genres.

The writing in each sequel is deeper, perhaps even better - that should be good.

But I miss the lightheartedness of the beginning of the series.
