Ok. I will say only this one thing on the last Harry Potter book.

Best. Book. Ever! (uhm, clarification: of this series)

(if you haven't read the book yet, please, don't read comments on this post, in case there's spoilers by accident?)

I agree wholeheartedly. This book, out of them all, is simply the best. I was amazed by the scope and the detail and the sheer veracity of things. Who has perfect friends who never falter? And it teaches such wonderfully adult ideas for a "children's" book. It doesn't pull any punches; that was incredibly brave of JKR to put it out there with no apology that people are fallible, and good isn't always so well-defined. I wasn't crazy about the epilogue, but even that had a tiny gem tucked into that too-tidy ending. I think after so much turmoil, something everyone expected had to panne out.

I agree! It will definitely be one of my all time favorites. I just finished the last book today (after having gotten it Saturday night around 8pm), and I thought it did a nice job of wrapping things up. Some thought provoking parts, some sad parts, some "yea you got what's coming to you" parts, all in all it's a satisfying end to an awesome series. The only negative thing I can think of is it's almost too neatly tied together at the end, but then again, it IS supposed to be a children's book! ^_^
