Harry Potter 7

[Whacker]

My new favorite word is "snog". You brits really have some hilarious slang terms.

Second, I gotta give J.K. some credit where it's due, she does a great job on throwing in those extremely random one liners, esp. the booger humor from the Weasley Twins.

Third, I couldn't agree more with Caravel's comments. The last bit just feels incredibly rushed. And the epilogue is woefully inadequate in my view. Nevertheless I'd say overall the books were good and the story was compelling, and I'm glad I read them.

I have to admit I'm annoyed that not once did anyone say "innit". Obviously no Chavs in the book (Thank Christ).

Well, I'd better be off "snogging" some girls because I've already finished HP7.

Wasn't the best Potter book but It was decent.

1. Neville beheading the serphent wasn't cheap. Only an incredibly brave person can get the sword and if you follow the series Neville is braver than anyone outside of Harry so he got his reward.

2. Diary+locket+ring+cup+diadem+snake+Harry+Voldemort= 8 pieces of soul. Wasn't Voldemort supposed to have a 7 piece soul?

3. Dumbledore could easily have blown Malfoy into little bits but he used that split second to immobilize Harry instead. Basically he surrendered to Malfoy giving Malfoy possession of the Elder Wand.

4. Yeah the last fight was dissapointing but even without the Horcruxes Voldemort is a hundred times better than Harry so Harry needed a random lucky spell to win.

5. Yes, the books do get a lot darker and 5,6,7 are probably not good for little kids but remember that the little kids that started reading the series are now in their mid to late teens.

6. Oh, and in my opionon Harry treated Ginny like crap

But Voldy "accidently" split his soul when he tried to kill Harry, so he "accidentally" gained an extra Horcrux.

This is a thriller book, not a "snogging" romantic type book.

1. Well it was said earlier in the series that only the true heir of Gryffindor would be able to pull out the sword. And remember that Neville was a possible boy in the prophesy.

2. He split it 6 times because he feared a 7th would make him too unstable, he accidently made Harry one though.

3. Yes that made Malfoy the owner of the wand.

Just finished reading it, and quite enjoyed it

the series worked quite well for me, as i started reading it around the age of 9/10, but undoubtedly the first 3 or 4 are good childrens books, while the other 3 are aimed at an older audience and resultantly, i feel are worse for it.
Rowling is an excellent children's author (a difficult skill) but i think only an average teen/adult writer.

I felt it really lacked the school, some of the best parts from previous books involve the school, and the terms also gave useful structure..

the final battle thing was disappointing too...
