Without giving me any spoilers, can you tell me if you liked Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Question

From what I hear, JK Rowling ties up all the loose ends and asks all the questions that were (so far) unanswered to the readers. I have it on hold at the library, and I want some insight on what to expect. WITHOUT giving any spoilers please.

sorry, I mean answers all the unanswered questions.

Answer 1

Well, she doesn't answer all of the questions, but she does an awsome job trying to in this book. She said in a recent interview that she couldn't possibly fit all of the answers in one book, but we have enough for Harry's story. She does plan to write an encyclopedia of Harry Potter to answer anything that she missed, but she's going to take a break first.

I loved the book, but be prepared to feel something between depression and disappointment at the end. Most of the people I've talked to feel that way mostly because it is the last book. After a few days they feel differently about it. Most love it...including myself.

Answer 2

I loved it. Probably my favorite book. I think that it dragged a bit, but not a lot. Very different from the first ones but I think it was well done. I'd say more...but I really don't want to spoil it for you

Oh! And here is a link to an interview with JK Rowling about the book. DO NOT click until you've read the book or things will be spoiled. Just thought you might find it interesting

They don't all have to do with the book...but there are spoilers in all of them

Answer 3

I loved it, because, like you said, it not only tied up the loose ends, but provided some surprises. It fleshed out some of the previously one-note characters, and some of the more minor characters were allowed to become more key than they had been. Mainly, it dealt with Harry truly growing up and facing life as an adult making adult decisions.

Answer 4

I enjoyed it. I thought it was a fitting end to the series. It was a good read, and did complete the story for the most part. It is a little darker and more violent than the previous books. The ending wasn't a suprise to me, but how it gets there was different than i thought it would be.

Answer 5

I thought it was a good book. People keep telling me that they didn't like the ending because it didn't seem to end the story properly, but it ends it perfectly. It was hard to put down at times, but other times it got pretty boring, and you couldn't go on. Maybe it's because it's so long.

Answer 6

Yes, it is good and does wrap up a lot of loose ends, but 5 & 6 were better.

Answer 7

Most questions are answered but I've searched through the books and still have a few of my own. Still, I greatly enjoyed it and although a lot of people I know have called the last chapter a little cheesy, I loved it. (Even if it is a little cheesy. Fromage, anyone?)

Answer 8

I loved the book. It will only make sense if you have read all previous books. The loose ends will be tied up, very neatly endling the story.

Answer 9

I also do not really like the book.
It's writing is the worst of all seven and the story
ends a bit cheap (everything was good).
I would've expected it to be at least a bit more dramatic
and not that obvious.
Anyways it's a must read, if you've read the other 6

Answer 10

It was a great read and tied up all the loose ends well. It seemed a bit hurried to me, though. As though her deadline were too confining and she didn't have enough time to rework it and edit it well.
