Saying goodbye, finally: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

Living in the Philippines has its perks – I get to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsearlier than most of the world (legally, that is).

I am still in that delirious-mourning state that you usually get after reading Harry Potter, but nevertheless, there were a lot of questions answered.

For one thing, I can finally put to rest all my questions about the history of James, Lily, Dumbledor & Snape. And of course, I know who lives/dies, got a reprieve, etc.

It was definitely a closure.

But then again, some little questions cannot be avoided:

  • I guess technically, Harry wasn’t a Horcrux?
  • What happened to the other characters had 19 years later?

And some other notes:

  • Action-packed. Really. Will give you goosebumps
  • There is room for a sequel/prequel. Whether or not J.K.Rowling will undertake it is another story.

Thank you, Harry Potter, for letting us into your world. It was pure magic.

    It was indeed greatly satisfying to have all those unanswered questions revealed…particularly in the Snape scenario…
    I think this was probably my favourite of the 7 books, though part of that could have been simply my heightened anticipation to read it! I have to wonder how on earth they intent to turn this into an UNDERSTANDABLE film, as most people I’ve spoken to who watched the Order of the Phoenix but hadn’t read the book found it incredibly hard to follow.

    [b]@Katti: [/b]I think they have no choice but to cut out A LOT of parts. I hope they won’t cut out the Kreacher scenes though. I found myself smiling when I got thru that part.

    hi chette! i was in manila and had to rush up to Baguio on July 20 because my Deathly Hallows reservation was here! i hate endings, closure or not. thus I was unhappy that she included the epilogue. but my mom insists that, as in all fairy tales, there must be the ‘.. and they lived happily ever after’ ending.

    I only liked the “Snape scene” in Book 7. Most of the chapters were dragging. Book 3 is still my favorite. One of my officemates is now bothered by his suspicion that the reason why Dumbledore is very kind to Harry is because He’s in love with Harry since JK Rowling gave a new angle to Dumbledore’s sexuality. I don’t know. In my own opinion, what JK Rowling did was not a very good idea. 😛

    hahaha i read all seven books and i was annoyed with the ending… i wish there could be more story in the book that could explain some of our unanswered questions, well we could have answer those questions if J.K. Rowling is not using massive amount of adverbs to freaking much!! her fixation of doing so, is highly irritating!!

    when i was reading the books i was like “OMFG! i don’t need to know if Hermione had a nail polish from david salon or if she wears prada why don’t you just stick to the point enough of these adverbs!!!”

    *whew* anyway i would recommend all the 7 books to everybody i’ll give 4.8 out of 5 stars
