Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a novel by J.K. Rowling

The heart of Book 7 is a hero's mission--not just in Harry's quest for the Horcruxes, but in his journey from boy to man--and Harry faces more danger than that found in all six books combined, from the direct threat of the Death Eaters and you-know-who, to the subtle perils of losing faith in himself. Attentive readers would do well to remember Dumbledore's warning about making the choice between "what is right and what is easy," and know that Rowling applies the same difficult principle to the conclusion of her series. While fans will find the answers to hotly speculated questions about Dumbledore, Snape, and you-know-who, it is a testament to Rowling's skill as a storyteller that even the most astute and careful reader will be taken by surprise.

It's hard to imagine a better ending than the one she's written for her saga after 10 years, more than 4,000 pages and close to 400 million copies in print. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows may be a miracle of marketing, but it's also a miraculous book that earns out, emotionally and artistically. …I cried at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's that rare thing, an instant classic that earns its catharsis honestly, not through hype or sentiment but through the author's vision and hard work. - The Washington Post - Elizabeth Hand

Hurray! Lord Voldemort is dead. At last. The best ending I can think of. JK. Rowling heard what I was saying: don’t kill Harry Potter. This book is the most complicated than others. I have to think and rethink, read and reread, open and watch the prequel to get what they meant. Phiuh! It need big efforts to understand all. When I’ve finished it, one word came out from my mind. AWESOME! I can’t say anymore. SUPER DUPER AWESOME! I can’t believe someone has ever written such a superb saga. My eyes won’t blink because of the charm, even once. Up til now, if I imagine Harry Potter and his friends. I really enjoyed the flow of the story. The magical world pulled me and made me look from the inside. As if I was one of the witch (of good side, of course, not Death Eater). I’m waiting another book of JK. Rowling.
