Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Book 7 (Children's Edition) | Hardback

Well a deathly silence certainly hung over my house at the weekend as I got well and truly 'stuck in' to this book which arrived thanks to Play.com with the nice postlady at 9am.

My poor hubby who is not a Potter fan got short shrift from me whenever he wanted to talk (especially when he asked 'Has Harry done Hermoine yet?').

What a fabulous read - I was hooked from the word go as the body count in the first few chapters left me breathless - little did I know that was nothing compared to what was to come.

There are some ferocious battles and duelling, lots of patronus's to ward off dementors and more death eaters than you can shake a stick at.

If you're looking for happiness then don't read this book as it is tinged with sadness and loss but then saving the world was never easy.

All the loose ends from this saga are tied up nicely and although this was the last book in the HARRY Potter series, suffice it to say there is an opening for more Potter family… more »

All the loose ends from this saga are tied up nicely and although this was the last book in the HARRY Potter series, suffice it to say there is an opening for more Potter family adventures if J.K. starts missing Hogwarts and the wizarding world too much.

When I was a kid I waited and waited for Christmas and then when it was over always had a flat, deflated feeling. I feel like that now I've read the 7th book - yes we have a few more films in the series yet to see but I'm gonna miss Harry and his pals. Here's hoping a J.K. fan will be inspired by her work to write another great saga that can follow in the footsteps of this series and appeal to young and old alike.

If you're a sceptic like my hubby and have never read a Potter book - I would thoroughly recommend you give it a go

Fair play to Rowling, she made a lot of money, from something she isn't that good at. By the 7th and final entry of this "epic" tale, most of us will have come to two conclusions. firstly that Harry Potter is indeed a child's story, and so should be viewed only as such. Secondly J.K.Rowling is the most mechanical author in history next to Dan Brown. These are not essentially bad qualities, as Rowling simply makes the most of what limited talent she has, by using a formula in each book. Harry, Ron and Hermione have an argument, make up, save the day by hook or crook, and go back to good old private drive.(ignoring the 10 or so Authors she has stolen every idea she has, coupled with her awful use of middle class stereotypes and pathetic ability to name people (cho chang comes to mind) ). Now thats all well and good when your 13, closed your second book in the series and have heard very little hype about "the boy who lived". Harry Potter has gradually declined into an overwhelming ball… more »

Now thats all well and good when your 13, closed your second book in the series and have heard very little hype about "the boy who lived". Harry Potter has gradually declined into an overwhelming ball of hype, plagerism, and disapointment. there is no need to comment on this last book, as we all knew how it would end, and in a way, we have known since book 3. The series peaked at book 4 which was probably the only book of the 7 that had some original witty writing ( even witht he mechanics). When you take all these elements together, the painfully global histeria of Harry Potter ( not helped by those awful awful movies(thanks daniel)) the steady decline and tedium of the last 3 books and the overall smug of J.K.Rowling when she thinks she has given us a new bible. If your a logically person, it will annoy you to see so many misguided souls feeding Rowlings purse until it bursts for basically scratching out the title worst witch, and writing harry potter. I will give you 3 stars for starting well, but ending it on a low and having no bravery in your work. Ps if T.S.L or Tolkien were here they would have my back unlike all those people who will tarnish my fine argument.
