Es junto al de Harry Potter y la Orden del Fenix de los que mas me han gustado (bueno, el sexto aún no lo he leido). Incluso ese final tan horroroso, no me pareció tan horrible despues de leer el libro.
I started listening to the audiobooks of these for the first time around November, and it's been a delightful ride. Jim Dale is a great narrator, and listening to the story rather than reading it forced me to slow down in a way that was aggravating at times (I've never felt like book 5 dragged that much!) but mostly allowed me to savor the stories in a new way. I was way overdue for a Harry Potter reread, and I'm so glad I decide to make it a listen instead.
This is actually my first time ever rereading Deathly Hallows. I was a little disappointed when the book was originally released, but I enjoyed it much more this time around. It would be hard for any book to live up to the expectations I had for this. I still wish there would've maybe been some bigger twists and turns, but it's still a great read. That said, about 5 years later and I'm still not a fan of that epilogue. I'm a OBHWF shipper (especially in the books) but the end is just far too schmaltzy for my taste. Everything was far too neat and clean.
This book was one suspense thriller from the start to finish. Compared with Order of Phoenix it contains three times as much action using less pages :-) A book worthy of being final in the series I'd say. We get to look more into life of Albus Dumbledore, and finally uncover what Snape is all about. The book is not exactly cheerful for the most part...but there are moments of fun & joy.
J.K. Rowling's magnificent, 7-novel epic of "The Boy Who Lived" finally comes to its climactic conclusion in the fateful, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Despite its thorough predictability, "The Deathly Hallows" manages to present Harry Potter's last, fateful adventures in vivid detail. Easily the most well-constructed and well-written of the series, "The Deathly Hallows" clearly conveys that it was not just through the retelling of the ancient epic that created Rowling's literary empire, it was also her use of detail and the contribution of specific, realistic dialogue. With believable, relatable characters and enough detail to satiate the bewitched fans, Rowling draws her masterpiece to a close with no loose strings and the perfect, bittersweet ending.
Perfect book to be read during school days.
I remember reading the last part of the book hurriedly to know the climax.
But I must admit that of the Harry Potter series the first four are the best.
7 Mar 2015: It's been five years since I last read this?! WOW. I have forgotten a lot of the details. After I have now re-read the entire book series, I am still amazed by how different the last book is from the first. The final two books are in my opinion definitely the most powerful, fleshed-out books. Though, of course, the deus ex machinae are riduculously over-present. Everything just happens to happen at the most opportune moment?! Must be magic.
27 Nov 2010: Read for the third time to freshen up my memory - there seem to be a lot of deus ex machinae, but Rowling has a way of making them seem like the most logical thing in the world. Good conclusion to the series, which explains pretty much everything.
I still don't quite get probably never will understand the fervor that fans of this series has. However unlike all the books except maybe the last two, there were a few scenes that I genuinely liked. I'm not sure it's worth digging through the whole series to get to the good stuff, but there is some good stuff. I'd never recommend it to anyone over 12, but it isn't horrible. I won't spoil everything, but I did like how it was resolved. The whole series could still use the hand of a really good editor.
Best Harry Potter yet.
There were a few choices the author made that puzzled me in this one. Overall, it is good wrap up of the series, although I thought the very end was a bit too sugary.
Very satisfying closure to the great series, tied up lots of loose ends. I'd definitely recommend the whole series to anyone, it includes many more details than the movies.
Great read. A worthy end to the series.
Great read. A worthy end to the series.
There are shocks, upsets, funny moments and the most brilliant ending!
Le septième et dernier tome de la célébrissime saga Harry Potter, qu'on ne présente plus. Une conclusion puissante et émouvante de la série qui a marqué ma vie de jeune adulte.
