What Did You Think Of Harry Potter 7???

Answer 1

For the most part, it played out much as I thought it would. I had my theories about Snape, the horcruxes, and Dumbledore, which were pretty close to the way it turned out. Given, there were parts that could not have been foreseen, seeing as they weren't even foreshadowed, but it was really interesting to see what was going on in the background the whole time.

Let's see... some of the things that had to happen:
Remus: since Peter was bound to get himself killed, that would leave him on his own, which had to end the way it did.
Harry: it makes sense that if he lived once, he'd do so again.
Scrimgeour: incredibly unlikeable guy, and that all played out the way it should have.
Snape: Well, he did get the job, and it was obvious he had a thing for Lily, so I made my choice based on that, and whaddya know?

I liked the epilogue, though. It was one of the only "normal life" scenes in the entire series.

Answer 2

A good final effort with an incredible amount of action. I found that many of the things I expected came to pass. I was reconciled even before the book came out that my favorite character was doomed (Snape). Although I did not know what the Deathly Hallows were and how they would come into the picture, it was an apt device, and I was very glad to see the bizarre eccentric who no one is supposed to take seriously (Xenophilius Lovegood-The Quibbler, enough said) telling truth beyond surface facts and gossip. It vindicates my long-held belief that the most off-the-wall thinkers often grasp the deepest truths, although sometimes this is unknown to them and they act as hands of fate rather than masters. I believe this aspect of truth to be one reason Dumbledore was so whimsical even as he was serious in his purpose.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how the fates of the Malfoys played out, and Narcissa in Half-Blood Prince was the herald that they would not go the way of Bellatrix Lestrange. I was appalled at first at all the characters she killed off, but again, this was a war, and I'm sure it was like this also in the days of the Marauders and Voldemort's first rise to power.

Probably the most interesting aspect of the book was the humanizing of Dumbledore, the fleshing out of his past. It really explains why he was content to be a headmaster and didn't dare aspire to more, as everyone seems to ask throughout the series.

I found Harry Potter to be at turns lost and then completely on top of things--as it should be when his purpose is clear. The part where Harry is accepting that he must die has a haunting feeling, like a looking glass that calls all reality into question, as if we are but characters in a larger book. It was a nice atmospheric effect on Rowling's part.

I've already said elsewhere what I thought of the epilogue, but one last thing I enjoyed was the fact that Snape was not only vindicated, Harry proclaims this before many witches and wizards, thus vindicating Snape throughout the wizarding world. At one stroke it elevated him from dastardly traitor to the bravest character in the series, even beyond Dumbledore, right up there with Harry himself. But I may be biased, as he is my favorite character and has been since I first met him in Sorcerer's Stone.

Answer 3

I enjoyed it immensely! I was a little sorry that the whole thing is now over though, so I started thinking of ways to start a sequel. Like

...it had been 19 years since his scar had ached. All was well. (end of book 7)

All was not well. ouch! there it goes again! It had been 19 -- ouch! -- years since he had felt this and it could only mean -- OW! -- one thing. (beginning of book 8)

I can't wait for this one to be turned into a movie.

Answer 4

I loved it. It was the book that tied all the other books together into a series. I felt the ending could have been longer to talk about the other characters, but maybe I am just too picky.

Answer 5

I thought it was a perfect end to the greatest series ever written! It was really good and it explained a lot. It's something that generations to come will be reading!

Answer 6

It was up to the standards of the other 6 books...not quite a literary masterpiece, but definitely better written than most best-selling adult (as opposed to juvenile) fiction.

Answer 7

i thought it was the best book in the series
i really liked the plots and the characters.. i will really miss harry potter .....

Answer 8

It was one of the best books of the series.

Answer 9

It was probably my favorite one, like said previously, she tied everything up really well. It kept my attention the whole time, but it is a bit sad to see it end.

Answer 10

it is my favorite by far cuz instead of like one big fight at the end (like usuall) this had fights and attacks all over it from beginning to end so it was sucking us in with every word sentence paragraph and chapter. i wish there woud of been less deaths and more of the last chapter but i still love it!!!!
