So… I think I stumbled upon your blog after you posted about Harry Potter book 7 on a Children’s Ministry Blog (and have been a faithful reader every since)… I wanted to come back and find this post because I just finished reading Deathly Hallows last night (I had chosen to read through the series for the first time this summer). I have LOVE, LOVE, LOVED reading these books this summer, it is a fantastic story and I am sad I am done, but I am satisfied as well! Love conquers death. Amen.
Looking forward to the movie this fall…although, I am SO glad to have read the books first!

this is a great review. i, too, felt immensely satisfied upon finishing it. i, also, did not want to get my hopes up, in fear of being disappointed but JKR did her series justice. absolute justice. and i just loved how harry and ginny have five fat little babies. the epilogue was really sweet. also very final.

I loved all the moments you mentioned too. I really loved both Kreacher and Dobby…they really proved that house-elves and wizards are equals.

I forgot to mention my favorite part in my review: when Harry and Hermione visit the graves of James and Lily. I love the way Hermione reassured Harry about the quote on their graves…Harry was worried that “The Last enemy that shall be destroyed is death” was a death-eater idea and he got a bit panicky. Hermione calmly says, “It means…you know…living beyond death. Living after death.” I think that was the first place I cried while reading.

I was trying not to get my hopes up about this book too much. I didn’t want to be disappointed. Really, though, I didn’t need to worry about it. It was all much better than I thought it would be.
