   Summary: Incredible ending to the story of 'the boy who lived'.
After resisting reading the books for years, i finally gave in. i was immediately hooked. the voice characterizations are wonderful and familiar across the entire series. this final audio production did the story justice. it is a wonderful and redemptive story, and it was a joy to walk with Harry from the beginning through to the very last word.

   Summary: Great conclusion for a great septology
Ah I got this right after it came out (yet now I review it!)
This is no doubt a great series with great characters. I definitely enjoyed it. I stayed up till 7 am reading the last parts of it (notice I say last parts, I'm a slow reader). I read all the previous ones at libraries but decided to buy the other 6 since I've been into them since grade school. I'll probably want to read'm again.

   Summary: Keeps getting better!!
I was very happy with the way this book turned out... Oh-so-sad to know this is it (at least for a while if we're really lucky), but each book has gotten better and better and better. This really tops the series off! And the readablity can't be beat!! Every time I read it, it's like the first time and I find more things to love about it!!!

   Summary: Better than Prince, doesn't live up to the fear in Order
Order of the Phoenix was the best, and Deathly Hallows is the 2nd best. There's fear but not the same fear experienced when reading Order. Also Voldemort's really only a threat to Europe, but not to any other continent which is kind of annoying.

   Summary: Backward fan
I started backward. I watched all the Harry Potter movies--and got lost. I really didn't see what all the hype was about. Somebody told me it was "simple": wave wand about, have unicorns and giants...the usual fantasy. I had no desire to "find out what happens". Yeah, I'd probably go watch the remaining movies, only because I like magic and wizards and special effects but go out and buy the last two books? Nah.

Then one day I picked up a used Harry Potter book at a garage sale and thought I'd find out what all the fuss was about; after all, books are supposed to be better than the movie.

It was cool enough to buy the last two books, but honestly, the plot of the Deathly Hallows was confusing and I really didn't want to put in that much effort into a book.

Someone recommended that I start at the very beginning with the Sorcerer's Stone...

The entire collection (books, audio cd, and dvd) later, Harry Potter got me angry, frustrated...I wanted Hermione to "give it a rest, already!"...and Ron! Don't even get me started on him!

In a way I am glad that I didn't have to wait for each book to be written, because there were times I truly disliked almost everyone of the characters. But by the end, (as I re-read)by the last chapter of THIS book, I had thoroughly loved the three friends as I would my own kids of impossible teenagers.

The Deadly Hallows has a complicated plot that readers that has not read the previous books (and I mean "read", the movie doesn't explain enough)will find difficult to follow. But it is a book that feeds the hunger the characters of Harry Potter has managed to create. Anything less would have been a let down.

Two parts were especially wonderful...the entire house elf saga with Dobby and Kreacher was priceless. Their drama queen manner was funny but touching. I laughed, smiled, and cried.

The other was the incredible, enduring love between Harry's arch enemy teacher and Harry's beloved mother. For 6 books, we were led to believe in the greatness of Dumbledore, only to learn that he was quite human with all it's failings. We also believed in the nastiness of Snape. To find out that he was really noble...and that as a boy he had been hurt and yet managed to love as none of the others, the so called good guys, had love was emotionally amazing.

I wanted to give this book 4 stars for all the grief this series had given me...then I realized that only a 5 star book can get a reader that worked up.

Yeah, I could find a dozen things wrong with this book (as other reviewers had) and those books that came before it, but in the end, if Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dobby and all the rest was real enough to make you believe for a span of time, then it has done it's job.
