Product Description

'His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.' With these words "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" draws to a close. And here, in this seventh and final book, Harry discovers what fate truly has in store for him as he inexorably makes his way to that final meeting with Voldemort. In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling will reveal all to her eagerly waiting readers.

Great End to a Glorious Series
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Probably the best of the series. Rowling finally unfurls all of her resolutions (well, most of them anyway) to her intricate plotlines she has so successfully nurtured throughout the seven books.

The book is very fast paced, there are a lot of actions sequences, and you can tell everyone is playing for keeps this time. And yes, there deaths and tortures. Lots of them!

The ending, especially the scene involving Hagrid and Harry, is one of the most wrenching scenes in the entire series. The last few chapters will have you speed-reading to find out what happened next. Snape, obviously, has an important role, and we finally get the answers to his loyalties. While some complain that we don't get a lot of Snape until the very end of the novel, she has built his character so successfully we don't need to see a lot of him in this novel.

While the Epilogue has gotten a lot of people mad, it does give us a little (very little) snapshot of what happened after. Still, I think there's almost a novel's worth of material you could write about in the reconstruction after Voldemort's fall. Rowling has given further information in interviews, webchats, etc, about what happened to the characters after the end of book seven.

Now that we finally have the entire series at last, I can only applaud Rowling's unflagging invention. This is indeed a series for the ages

unbeatable
Amazing how some book can be so good that when you've finished them you get filled up with a sadness and nostalgia that you cant describe. this is one of them.
absoloutly gripping from the first sentence to the last, harry potter and the deathly hallows completes harry's journey in the wonderful, sometimes sad, incredibly dangerous world of magic.
unlike the other books, this novel is full of destruction, death and loss. It doesnt even have the spirit-lifting moments of humor for us to depend on. however, i think this book is enough fast moving that you dont think about it too much and you just become engrossed with the charecters lives. to tell you the truth i find it impossible to fault this book. a 100% must read, and best harry potter ever.

Simply amazing
'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' is the seventh and final book in the saga and does not disappoint at all. JK Rowling again brings to life her unique magical world and unforgettable characters that we have all grown to know and love (and hate) in this final battle against Lord Voldemort.

I don't want to give away any of the story but I can say that from the get-go the action is heavy and the surprises come from all directions, especially when you least expect it. Rowling also is extremely ruthless and bloodthirsty with book 7, making it impossible to predict who's going to meet their demise next. The deaths are also very violent which I can imagine would be a bit disturbing for younger readers.

All the loose ends are tied up by the end and Rowling does a fascinating job of answering all the questions that every Potter fan has been theorising about over the past few years. This is an absolutely brilliant book and an excellent end to one of the best series of books ever written and it is actually quite sad to think that there will be no more Harry Potter books to come (although a spin-off is the last thing I want) with no more midnight launches to look forward to and no more discussing theories with other readers.

This is a series of books I know I will read regularly again and again for years to come and one that is without a doubt an absolute classic with a fantastic ending.
