Customer Rating:      Summary: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Comment: Excellent ending to a very interesting series of books. I enjoyed listening to the entire selection.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A must for any Potter fan Comment: Best book of the series. Read the entire thing in 2 days after it arrived. Have read it 5 times since.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best in the series by far Comment: I am not a foaming-mouthed Potter fan, though I like the series. I only just read it last year. I started in Dec '06 and finished when the new book came out. In fact, I read books 4,5,6 and 7 in like one month (For a slow reader like me this took a miracle. Either that or a few slow days at work....heh heh, ah it's the American way....)
Book seven is fantastic. It is far and away the best book in the series. Rowling seals the deal with the most intricate plot, the biggest battles, and the most spectacular surprises. If you haven't read this book by now you probably never will. Either that or you live on Saturn and your Amazon shipment is only now arriving...
Customer Rating:      Summary: Who wouldn't love Harry Potter? Comment: A great addition to my HP library. Just wish there were going to be more!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Resolution Comment: Yay, good fun, the seventh and final Harry Potter book. After a not-so-great fifth and sixth book, I didn't have my hopes up too too high, although there was a lingering suspicion that Rowling had a master plan of using those earlier books as vehicles to set up a really awesome ending.
The general consensus has been that the series ends quite magnificently, so I knew that there was hope. It didn't start off very well, with a lot of bloody attacks and hopelessness, and our three heroes setting out on an aimless quest in the wilderness. One of the worst things about Harry Potter is that, despite the fact that we're all rooting for him and sympathize with his terrible plight, we still have to settle for the fact that he's really not the brightest bulb. This is displayed amply in the first part of the book where he just sort of stumbles along, and has to get rescued, repeatedly, by others. Poor kid. Another irritating thing is how so many things in the overall history begin to remind of other stories. There's the aged mentor struck down by an enemy, there's the point where the sidekicks fight and split up only for the disillusioned sidekick to come back in the nick of time to save the day, as well as the whole thing about the evil magical relic that they must destroy so that it doesn't flood the world with evil.
But it is nice to finally be reading a Harry Potter book that doesn'tfollow the pattern of other books - finish-a-Dursley-summer-then-go-to-Hogwarts-and-meet-the-professors-and-then-encounter-a-mystery-and-play-a-quiddich-tournament-and-have-an-adventure-involving-Hagrid-and-magical-creatures. There's also no more of this tiring "nobody believes me when I tell them that Voldemort's come back, oh what terrible danger we're all in" stuff because he's revealed himself at last.
The book picks up remarkably about two thirds of the way through when the mysteries that Rowling has set up throughout the first half of the book - and throughout the series, for that matter - start being explained. The ending is more or less satisfactory, although in the end Voldemort is somehow made to seem like the one who's not a very bright bulb, which is also somewhat disingenious. I also found the last chapter with the fortysomething Harry a bit corny in a Lion Witch Wardrobe way. But in the end it doesn't really matter, because IT'S OVER!! IT'S OVER!! IT'S OVER!! IT'S OVER!!.
Now I just have to start reading the series from the beginning with my seven-year-old when he's ready to start reading these books...
