🦌 On his 7th and last year as a Hogwarts student, Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione embark on a dangerous quest to find and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. With a mountain of loss that Harry has carried over the years, he has been burdened with the most difficult and perilous task. His success could save the future of the Wizarding and Muggle worlds forever. 

🦌 The final book to the series was so thrilling and action packed. It did not disappoint. The growth of the supporting characters truly peaked and it was bittersweet to see how far they had all come. The answers to numerous questions piled up since the first book were answered and yet more plot twists were encountered! It was so satisfying to discover the truth and despite the dark and dense atmosphere of these 800 pages, there was still room for laughter!

🦌 This series overall is brilliant. It has everything a fantasy needs and any reader of any age, at any stage of their life can enjoy it. The underlined lessons the books impart are those humans need to remember as we continue to live, change and grow. This series has truly been so beautiful and heartbreaking — I am happily now a Potterhead.

Couldn't put the book down, especially toward the end. Reading Harry Potter as an adult hits different. Love it!

I really enjoyed the last 1/3 of this book, but the road to get there was too drawn out for my liking. 

This book feels so different from the other 6 in the series and, while I think it closed it out well, it wasn't as enjoyable for me.

spoiler ahead!

I'm happy that I finished my first longer book series but at the same time I'm so sad it's over.
I liked most of the book, but unfortunately I felt like the middle was too boring. the end on the other hand was FILLED with suspense.
but what's up with all the deaths? damn that fr lefts me empty inside.
this was also the first time I had to cry *hard* while reading Harry Potter - like WHY Hedwig?? & then Harry immediately after thinking that Hagrid (my favorite character) is dead, too??????? my heart was pulled in little, little peaces. ouch
