i finished harry potter's last book within thirty hours, including sleeping, eating and lazing around. an accomplishment i would say. it was a good book, very well planned, twists and turns, and i suppose i learnt many new words. the english was a little confusing though at times, the phrasing or the sentence such that it had to be reread to grasp the meaning of the sentence rightly[either that or my brain just works slow].
spoilers ahead:

i was quite surprised of the way snape's character turned out, but it seems a little cliche that he actually liked lily and had that kind of friendship. but it was a nice twist, and answered a few questions to his behavior from previous books.
i always thought that harry potter would die in the end [sadist i know], but the end where he ALWAYS rises from the dead, or just can't seem to die is so cliche.again. like 'good always wins/prevails' and 'good will always triumph over evil' that kind of thing. but i guess this book was meant for children, thus 'happy ever after' always stays.
i was sad that all the loveable characters of the story are dead. sirius, albus, lupin, tonks, fred, etc, its just too sad. but i guess some people have to die, as a sacrifice, not everyone can live, and thus its essential in the story that these characters died anyway.
kids shouldn't start reading harry potter at too young an age, such that by the time they get to the fifth book onwards, they should be at least an understanding and mature enough teenager to handle the descriptions of torture, death, and war. and if too young, they may believe that magic actually exists in this world, and grow up deluded. it's probably everyone's wish that there was such thing as magic in the world anyway. i do. so basically, i think they should have an advisory age on the cover or something. the last book is well, heart wrenching at points.

well, good book anyway.
