I've just finished a whirlwind reading of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't want to say too much, as I don't want to spoil anything. But I will say that I enjoyed the book immensely and it was everything I hoped for. The seventh (and, regrettably, closing) installment in this brilliant series is a magnificent and fitting end.
J.K. Rowling's achievement with this set of 7 books -- which really comprise one big story -- is nothing short of astounding. She deserves every bit of praise, every ounce of hype, and every million dollars. What a truly gifted and rare talent.
Brava, Ms. Rowling.
Agreed...the books are great fun, and anyone who gets that many people, especially kids, to read deserves every penny. How nice to have an author (instead of a pop star coming out of rehab) become an idol.
