Just finished about 5 minutes ago. Pretty good book and a good end to the series. The book was great after they arrived at Hogwarts, a pretty long and epic battle. Before that it was good, but seemed to drag at some points. Since I just finished the Dark Tower series 2 months ago, I feel like comparing the two, although this is very unfair because Rowling writes for children and King writes for adults. The Dark Tower is an unbelievable journey that is so deep and complex, while the Potter books in the end are a big long childrens story/fairytale. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but there was no question that these books were written for a diffrent audience. All in all, I started reading Harry Potter in the summer of 03 and I just finished today, 4 years later. I feel like I read an awesome story, maybe not the best books I ever read, but a very engrossing and fun story. I will be passing them on to my kids. (If I ever have any)
