Demasiadas lágrimas derramadas con esta saga. Demasiadas cosas vividas durante tantos años. Ya hace un par de años, sino más, que acabé de leer el libro, y por tanto, la saga. Y aún no hay palabras suficientes para describir todo lo que JK me enseñó con estos libros. Y no hay vez que no escuche a alguien hablando de Harry Potter que no me emocione, algo se remueve en mi interior. Mi biblioteca mental no sería lo mismo si faltasen los 7 libros en ella, y todas las personas que conocí a raíz de leerme los libro.

I knew I had too much to say about this book; but when I finished reading it, the words got sucked out of me like a vacuum. It was that good. The Half-blood Prince only took me five days to finish while this took four with 70% of it being finished in one night. It was that gripping. I couldn't sleep without knowing how this would all end. I had to turn the next page.
Harry Potter was the first series I bought and read. Safe to say, all the money I spent felt cheap. At first, I had a little regret that this couldn't be a part of my childhood like many others. I was already 20 years old when I first held the The Philosopher's Stone in my hands. But that regret quickly dissapated because I felt like a kid reading through it all anyway, and as I turned the pages, I felt like I grew up with them no matter how old I was already.
It feels good to say goodbye to this series, but at the same time, it's one of those times when you just wanna live in its world forever. Harry Potter felt like a home within pages. When I can finally afford it, I'll buy the MinaLima editions. I just hope by then, they'll have finished until The Deathly Hallows.
The reason I adore this series despite it not being an intellectual venture like most of my books is because this series taught me to be human. As an ENTJ, the narrative of an ISFP helped me understand how lies don't necessarily carry malice and how truth can carry it instead, how someone could have completely different values from you but still be your best friend, how acceptance can triumph over understanding to provide an amicable result, and how words could mean not literally but utilized as a means to an end.
Now, going from the start, I honestly thought the seven Potters was a brilliant idea. Maybe I'm just happy with the variety, but it was a good plan to confuse the Death Eaters and buy time until the real Harry gets to safety (at the cost of the others'). It was also heartwarming for Harry to ride Sirius' bike with Hagrid for the last time. There's something so symbolic about it. It's like Sirius, even beyond his grave, is still protecting Harry with his everything.
Meanwhile, the death of Hedwig and Dobby was unexpected. I screamed when Dobby died and wished it wasn't true. He was too good to end up like that 🥲. Hedwig's death left me in denial; how could J.K. Rowling just kill the purest creature of this series?! She was Harry's solace! Mad-Eye was kinda eh, but I momentarily got frozen when I read it; glad that his eye was buried by Harry.
Lol, Rita Skeeter won't even leave a dead man in peace. Hermione's imprisonment taught her nothing. Won't do shit for my adoration towards Dumbledore though, he's still my favorite character in the series. Any character who is ridiculously powerful and wicked good at manipulation but still chose to remain kind is automatically a favorite of mine.
Now, onto the finding of the hocruxes, there have been hints all across the books of how narrow-minded and rigid Hermione is, but in this book, they laid it out so clearly. Girl's thinking is textbook-constrained, any thinking outside of the box is considered delusion to her. But glad Harry is different and is able to form his own opinions. Yet people wonder why they didn't end up together, lol. I don't even fucking know why she and Ron ended up together. Personally, Viktor was a better match. I don't know where Ron and Hermione complement each other except that they've had feelings for each other from Book 4, they've just never been brave enough to tell each other.
I enjoyed the subplot of goblins. It was good. Being able to still include world-building even by the end was a nice element of the series. And in terms of that, I couldn't believe Umbridge was still relevant after the Order of the Phoenix AHAHHAHAHAH. That was a surprise.
As spoiled as I was with the Harry Potter franchise (due to social media), Snape was indeed the biggest plot twist, possibly one of the biggest plot twist I've ever encountered.
However, contrary to the popular choice, I didn't end up loving Snape's character. When I read his backstory, my feelings about him shifted from hate to neutral with 10% more hate. Lol, he wasn't just evil "for Harry", he really was evil. That guy was so unnecessarily cruel to Harry, Neville, and the other students.
That being said, Snape's loyalty to Lily until the end made me reconsider my perspective on love. Because prior to him, I would've thought that love was natural, genuine, kind, free, sincere, and respectful between the two people. Snape made me realize things in a different light. Sure, his way of loving her was not best. His love for her wasn't clean. But at its core, Snape truly did love her — in spite of not having those feelings returned. That is something that cannot be invalidated. His death was pathetic though, I wish the author allowed him to put up much of a fight. Who cares if it's Lord Voldemort?! At least let him struggle for a bit. Come on, Harry's gone against him multiple times and emerged victorious every time. I guess that's the power of plot armor.
The battle of hogwarts was INSANE. It's a shame the movie couldn't fully portray it. It was so much more magnificent and wild in my mind. It's like everything from Book 1 to Book 7 came together, it was a really nice synthesis!! I could feel all the pent-up history, desires, and rage exploding at once. I think every specie was present there, and I really love the fact that Percy wasn't forgotten and given his redemption arc. It was nice to have all of the Weasley family present for a moment. But I guess J.K. Rowling thought that the return of one Weasley should be paired with the life of another Weasley.
I ended up loving the character development of Dursley. Glad they gave him that one. It would've been nice if he was a part of the ending, but I guess that's not the focus of the series.
Overall, the way things ended didn't really have that much of an impact on me, but at least it's a happy ending. That was very on brand of Harry Potter.

Para poder derrotar a los mortífagos tendrán que contar con en apoyo de todos sus amigos y aliados.
This is probably my second favorite out of all of the books in the series. It is a fresh break from the formulaic structure that JK Rowling follows, as Harry doesn't go back to Hogwarts, and instead goes out all over England in search of Horcruxes.
The one issue I have with this novel is that I can't help feeling like Rowling wrote this book to be filmed, if that makes sense. In comparison to the first couple books in the series, those were more genuine and about the story. The last couple of books, this in particular, seem to have a lot more visual details that definitely made a smooth transition onto the screen. The story kind of, well, it just seems to me that Rowling wrote this book with a movie in mind!
This is still a fantastic book and a great way to end the series!!

As a queer and trans person I do not condone reading or supporting J.K Rowling, as she is actively funding transphobia and hurting people with her actions.
The Harry Potter series was a huge part of my childhood. I've read these books many times as a kid and teenager, and I want my profile to reflect what I've read, good or bad.
Trans Rights are Human Rights.

And that was my rereading of the series. It's kind of a sad moment now that it's over, no more reading Harry Potter for a long while I think.
I still like the series very much, and I think I will reread the books later in the future, because there's always things you forget after reading a book, and that happened to me quite a lot during this rereading of the series!
