5.0

This is definitely the best Harry Potter book. Everything is explained and the story moved along at break-neck speed. The
defeat of Voldemort
was masterfully done. I loved the winding path of the story as slowly details were revealed placing everything into focus. I liked the fact that
Harry's second survival of the Killing Curse
was well thought out and supported by the rules of the magical world Rowling had created. This final book really does feel like the culmination of everything you have read so far, since small seemingly unimportant things mentioned in previous books are revealed to have greater meaning. It's as if you've been slowly piecing things together and finally, the complete picture is revealed. It's a fantastic ending to a much loved story.
