Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows SPOILER ALERT!!!

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm not in tears at the moment, but I definitely was when a certain sweet person/creature died. There were some surprises, but many things were foreshadowed in the previous books. I think it is a fitting ending to the series, although I was worried that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were wandering around aimlessly. The book was definitely very bleak in tone, especially in the middle!

Neville didn't kill who I thought he would, but he was very instrumental in the last battle. I am trying not to say too much for those who haven't yet read it. I'm glad it ended as it did, although I would have liked more detail there. I'm also glad Harry found out the truth about Snape. All I know is that there is no way I could have been as brave as Harry. He is very noble, and loving, and a true hero.

Even though I'm tired I think I might start rereading it. Somehow I can't go to bed just yet. Of course, now that it's over, it's a matter of what happens now. I wanted the book to finish because I wanted to find out what was going to happen, but now the magic is over. For good, and forever. Thanks J.K. Rowling, it's been incredible.

Mischief managed.
