Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

NOTE: CONTAINS SPOILERS... DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BOOK!!!

759 pages. 5 1/2 hours for me to read. best. book. ever. period! i could not put this one down... of course then again, i was unable to put any of them down. jk rowling did such an amazing job putting together this final harry potter book that i was hooked from page one. voldemort and his followers sitting there in the malfoy's dining room (i guess) and by page 7, murder one has been committed. no one any one really knew, but sad nonetheless. harry searches for the horcruxes with the help of ron and hermione, losing many good (and bad) people along the way.

in the final showdown, harry dies but finds himself in the deathly hallows and talks to dumbledore there. he returns to life by his own choice and kills voldemort (harry WAS a hurcrux afterall). ron and hermione finally kiss and harry gets back with ginny. however, mad-eye, hedwig, lupin, fred and dobby die, not to mention a few minor supporting characters as well. even ole snape goes in teh end (by voldemorts hand) and he is cleared of his muder of dumbedore (it was a settup between them).

all in all, the book was great. i think i cried through the whole damned thing. there is so much more to it, so go ahead and read it anyways. i actually read part of the end before i read much of teh beginning and still read the book. even though i knew how it ended, jk rowling had set it up for me, so that i wanted to read all the little tid-bits in between.

It was definitely amazing... had to re-read it to really form an opinion on whether or not I liked it. :)
