Finally, I finished it. It was starting to get agonizing. I enjoyed this one but it isn't my favorite in the series and I wasn't really blown away by the ending. As with at least the previous two books I thought about 200 pages could be left out; the beginning was slow. Although I was aggravated with Harry, Ron and Hermione much of the time, I thought Rowling did a great job of portraying them as teenagers. I thought there were a few convuluted explanations--Dumbledore's past and Harry's near death come to mind. Also, I thought the epilogue was really lame. I wished that she had just talked about the next day or the following year...I really didn't care about 19 years later...it wasn't very original. Still, I'm bummed the series is done. At least we have a few more movies to keep the story current.
