To be short and sweet, I thought the book was one of her finest works. I felt that she wrapped up most of the loose threads that she left hanging throughout the series in an interesting way. It appeared to me that the writing style and the jokes contained within each novel grew up with the characters. I was a bit disappointed in the minimalistic role that Snape played in this novel, I would have liked him to lurk in the background more prominently than he did. The one overall point of this book that I did not like was the Epilogue. It did not seem like her writing style and I thought it cheapened the end of the series. Overall I love book 7 and I will treasure growing up with the series.   posted Jul 24, 2007 at 4:30PM
