This final book in the Harry Potter series was well written. Some might say that everyone knows who will win, but how it happens is still the best part. I was engrossed at how Harry started putting all the pieces together toward the end. The power that Mrs. Weasley shows was totally unexpected, but it explains where Ginny gets her gift. I think JK Rowling did a good job in bringing the story full circle. I can now tell my friends that I was right about R.A.B. being a member of the Black family. I also was taken by surprise with the appearance of Dobby, but I was pleased to see him in the story. It did seem to take a long time for the story to take place as far as the timeline goes, but I guess the author had a fair amount of explaining to do and didn't want the story to seem to rush throuh some key points.   posted Jul 30, 2007 at 12:31AM
