Deathly Hollows picks up right where The Half Blood Prince left off and Rowling doesn't miss a beat. Our three favorite heroes know what they have to do but only have a few obscure clues to work from. They must find their own solutions on how to accomplish their misson. While this is a theme common in the other 6 books, this time there is no safety net provided by the adults. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders alone. As they go from one adventure to the next, gaining (at first) seemingly useless information and narrowly avoiding death, they slowly piece together how everything must fit together. Even then Rowling is not yet done: the solution itself is a test, and the hardest challenge Harry ever had to take. The book is dark and bloody, more so than The Order of the Pheonix. In case the reader had any doubt about that, Voldermort sets it straight in the very first chapter. The body count continues to go up and Rowling gives no indication of playing favorites. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is safe until the last spell is cast, somewhere in the last 10 pages or so. While it was sad seeing so many characters I had grown attached to die, I did not have the same sense of dispair that I did with Pheonix. I never doubted for one page that good would win in the end and I could take comfort in that their sacrafices would not be in vain. While I sincerly hope that Ms. Rowling will continue to write, I believe it is time for a new series. Harry Potter was as close to perfection as I'm likely to see in this world. I don't want that delicate balance upset. John Holland-Author of The Necklace of Terrersylvanous | |

Without saying too much about what happens in the book...I don't want to ruin it for anyone else, I will say that half way through the book I was feeling a little disappointed. Events were dragging along and we didn't seem to be getting anywhere with any of the plot lines. The second half of the book picked up the pace and was quite satisfying. J.K. Rowling has definitely delivered a wonderful ending to her series. | |

I doubt anyone will believe that you've actually READ the book everyone's waiting for. Some people have no desire to hear theories or potential spoilers about book 7, and shame on you for trying to throw them out there where people might read them when they don't want to. There is a proper place for such discussion - like the ebook about Deathly Hallows that I am selling. One thing is for certain, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is going to be amazing, action-packed, and heart-breaking all at the same time. I can't wait - mine's already pre-ordered, is yours? | |

I started to sell books and audio books of this book and I never heard a complaint from any customer yet. They all liked it very much. I gave it as gift to friends and they all liked very much. I wished there were other books of these quality. I enjoy reading and I suggest this book to anyone. | |

| 2 out of 2 people found the following review helpful. I love the action and the brillant mind of the author. on how to tie in all seven years. From the beginning to the end, there were turns that was amazing. From snape to the end where potter married ginny with kids name after snape and haed master. Love all the potter books. Great read. I am 35 years old, and The potter books started me reading books, instead of the sports page all the time. | |

| 2 out of 2 people found the following review helpful. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, wow, it was everything I expected it to be. A great book, excellent read, just like all the Harry Potter books. Deathly Hallows left no stone unturned, it answers every question and wraps up the series very nicely. This is a must read for any Harry Potter fan (but do read the other 6 first, or you will be lost). I could not put this one down once I started reading it. You will love this book. | |

| 7 out of 14 people found the following review helpful. *No plot spoilers As a huge fan, I had recently re-read books 5 & 6 to get up to speed and in the mood for the Deathly Hallows. In a way, I wish I hadn't re-read them as I felt the writing in this wasn't quite up to previous standards and I even managed to read this thoroughly & cover to cover in about 12 hours. As a previous reviewer said, I spent the first half of the book waiting for it to really get started, for explanations, twists, action. JK Rowling seemed to me, in her writing, a little rushed to get the epic over. Some of the twists that did come where unexpected, others not, but there just weren't enough of them. Some things seemed to be thrown in for convenience without a good explanation. On the whole, I still enjoyed it. My questions were answered, albeit not always to my liking, but then what novel can keep everyone happy? Very sad to see the end of such a great storyline and in spite of my disappointments, if you've read 1-6, you should still read this last one. I'll be re-reading again, more slowly, in the hopes of finding some subtle twists and turns that I might have missed. | |

| 3 out of 4 people found the following review helpful. Just finnished the Book and have to say it was more than I could ever have hoped for. I will not give any of it away, will just say on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 10!! Would suggest that a young child should not read it till after a parent reads it first, comfort and explanation of what happens and why may be appropriate. | |

I was right about many things and surprised about others. I am a firm Christian and find nothing wrong about this series. Good human values are taught thru out all the books.Harry is a hero that all children can relate to and learn from. I would hate to think this is the last we hear from Harry. | |
