I LIKED the camping scenes :-) - By: Amsterdamned, 21 Aug 2008
On the whole, the author has done a very good job of bringing together the plotlines from the previous booksin the series. The ending is a little contrived, but that was to be expected. There are plenty of contrived sections & sub-plotsin the previous books from the series - this is, after all, a fantasy for older children (adult readers often forget that), & it requires some leaps of faith to allow it to move on. It's not supposed to have a solid logical foundation.

I can't understand the moans about the middle "camping" section, nor suggestions that the book is too dark or gruesome, certainly not for today's average teenager. The whole book engrossed me all the way through. A great page-turner. Rowling is an excellent writer & her plots work very well.

amazing - By: N. Johansson, 31 Jul 2008
This is one of the best books within the Harry Potter series i have read. It is exiting, thrilling, surprising & just really good entertainment. it is also for every age group, although there might be some things which adults would understand better than kids. Although a lot of things are being revealedin this last book I still however have some unanswered questions after having read it. However it is still an amazing book which is very much worth reading.

Best ever. - By: S, 18 Jul 2008
I am a very well read 16 year old (I've read everything from Ian McEwan to Jane Austen) & I am completlyin love with this series. I've been reading them since I was 8 & this is the best one (followed by the 5th). It's so exciting & so much is cleared up but it also leaves some things open for discussion. It's great for escaping into! It's sad & happy at the same time time & when I finished it I put it down cried for about 20 mins (just cause the series was over!) then picked it straight back up & re-read it! I've read the whole series at least 10 times & i can't find anyway to fault it. Buy it now!! It's the best book ever!

the deathly book - By: M. Thorton, 18 Jul 2008
this book is not the bestin the series, & it left me waiting for Rowling to say: "Wait. I was joking! I wrote another version of the 7th book! Here it is" (it's too bad she never said that).
The first time I read the 7th book, I felt cheated. Cause let's face it: all that...for JUST that?
I didn't like the parallel between World War II & the war against Voldemort: there's a kind of general disquieting atmosphere : each character wants to prove that he's more ready than the others to die for the Cause...
And suddenly, we see the characters' lives ruined because of magic! They ALL would have been better off without magic! At the end of the book, I didn't envy any of them & their powers (I could hear them begging to be a Muggle next life!)
Where's the magic if the magic is poisoning their lives?
It could have been much better, but it's only good.
