Yeah, I know what you mean. Their camping adventures seemed to drag on and on before they could get their hands on a single Horcrux! And in just hours intervals, they got the rest and destroyed it.
But as I have been looking forward to reading it, I wasn't bored the first time. It was only in hindsight that the dragging on bit dawned on me.
I've read it 3 times already, but unlike the other books whom I've read more than 4 times each, I'm not that agog to reread this one unlike the others especially PoA.

Yes! I actually started re-reading them just before the last movie was released. And I agree, now that I'm older, and have now read the books 3 times, there's so much more I found in them, things I either forgot or never noticed. And yes, of course I am still keeping him alive. Harry Potter will only truly die when none left are loyal to it.

Me.
I really like the Harry Potter books but found the last one a bit dull.
Like you pointed out, it seems to go on forever.
I read it because I wanted so much to see how the story ended but there were parts that tested my patience.
We're not alone, you know?
Not every reader went ga-ga for book 7.

The sixth book seemed to drag for me a bit, probably since it was the largest. Five, six, and seven actually dragged a bit. I kept wanting to know and I kept reading, but I did get bored. But, every little thing mattered and there were SO many loose ends that needed tying up. I think every part mattered.

I did love Deathly Hallows, but I thought it was written a little too much like a Harry Potter fanfiction. I have no idea how that could be when Rowling wrote it, but still.

No, I loved how the "camping" section built up tension and expectation, knowing that it all had to end in a climatic battle. It makes Harry's later achievements and discoveries that much more significant when you realize that he got there from a point where he was totally lost and disillusioned. To be believable to us readers, we also had to share that feeling of being totally directionless. I knew exactly what was going on in those parts and savored it because it reflects how many of us feel in our regular lives.

No. I did not, actually. I LOVED IT! Maybe some of you were too impatient to get to the battle at Hogwarts to enjoy the other parts of the book, but I wasn't. The parts that are most important to the plot line aren't always my favorite, so I paid attention throughout the whole book. And I wasn't disappointed- my favorite part wasn't the battle itself, though, admittedly, it took place during the battle ... if you think like me, any of you, you'll figure out what it was. How many important things really went on during the battle that WEREN'T the battle?! Think!

I agree. I didn't think it was as good as the others.. I just lost my love for Harry Potter.
