This is one of the best books in the series and it couldnt have ended any better imo

The story was alright, but sometimes it feels like it's just rushing through. For the most part it was just the three main characters, and to be honest, they can get on your nerves quite easily. And then those brief encounters with the rest of the characters to make you feel like they weren't forgotten. Did we really need to know more about Sirius if he was already dead? Some of the deaths seemed laughable at times, killing off an owl, wow that really changes the story

The ending is good, but the Epilogue was one of the most frustrating things to read. Sure it was supposed to prevent the story from going on, but give the readers something better than that!

But it was sad. I found all the deaths to be quite realistic, actually. I'm tired of people calling certain characters deaths pointless. Was she just supposed to have a war and then one dramatic death (Fred, I suppose) and everyone else live?

Hedwig dying was one of the most emotional* moments in the book for me! Hedwig was his only link to the magical world at the Dursley's. She was his friend. And she didn't have to die.

Of course, I have a pet bird and I may be more susceptible to avian-death scenes.

*in that I actually reacted to it. I don't really cry when reading books.

wel the book came out in english here in holland and didn't want to wait until it was translated so i got it from my mom and i finished it in a litlle more than 2 days but for me the part where Hedwig died was so vague i first didn't realy get it and the way J.K.Rowling describes it so lifgtly like it's nothing
before i started reading i had questions about how it would end and stuff but now i finished it it just left me with more questions

It was a really good book. I finished it in 2 days. I had to cause I got it two days before I went to camp. So I was happy to finish it but then again I wasn't you know? Ah well nonetheless it was awesome.

Nice, them links are quite a read!

Finished the book last night, took me just over a week because some chapters I just couldn't be bothered to read really, lol, like the one about Kreacher. But, overall I think it was a great read. The best book for me, def.

There is one thing though, when I was reading this part I was trying to pay aw much attention as possible but it was past midnight and I missed it, but why didn't Harry die? When he let Voldermort use the Killing Curse?

because harry was a horcrux when voldemort used the killing curse on him all he managed to kill was the 8th part of his soul that was trapped inside harry
