I have read all of the Harry Potter books, but I have only just read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. WOW. It was an amazing read, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Harry Potter... more

    5 Stars A Journey - Not A Destination.... Diamond review 23/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast paced, intelligent, twists and turns and revelations like you wouldn't believe...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None, actually. Not even that it;s the last book. Nothing. It was perfect!

    Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Not a Destination, but a Journey… The End of an Era. For some time now I have had the date of the 21st July circled in my diary. Not another midwife appointment, or a reminder to myself of how many weeks to go till my baby puts in an appearance. No. The golden day that the final instalment of Harry Potter was due to hit the bookshelves of bookshops and music shops and green grocers (yes…green grocers…) the world over. My plan was to get into town early, but having stayed up half the night reading a baby book (Stand and Deliver, review to follow!), I snored ... more

    5 Stars A Magical Journey from Platform 9 3/4 Review with images 14/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You may just become addicted!

    Harry Potter Deathly Hallows The hype of the messy black haired boy masked with unfashionable rounded glasses and cursed with a lightning shaped scar has long since hit the hearts and minds of not only those young enough to love the fun adventures of the trio, but also the hearts and minds of us slightly older people who were once perhaps too embarrassed to admit we loved the adventures that JK. Rowling brought to the wondrous pages of her books. After many years, the books have grown larger than life, some say battling the ranks with the great JRR. Tolkein and his Lord of the Rings, and now ... more

    5 Stars THE DREAM IS OVER...BUT WHAT A DREAM IT WAS 07/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A thumping final chapter in the greatest story of our time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Like the death of a close friend, there is no more

    It feels strange to be sitting down to write a review of the final Harry Potter book. This is for two reasons. One, this is the first review I have written on Ciao for nearly a year and a half, meaning that most of the people who used to read my reviews have now either left Ciao or forgotten who the hell I am. Secondly, my first ever Ciao review back in 2002 was on the first Harry Potter book, The Philosophers Stone. Therefore writing this review feels a little like closing the door on that part of my life and moving on to something new. This is true of the time I spend on Ciao but also has an ... more

    5 Stars The (Hor)crux of the Matter 11/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The usual rip-roaring magical adventure

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None - not even the fact that it is the end

    The book hit the shelves a few months back, but there were other things to be done…and somehow it felt right picking up the final Potter as the leaves turned and it was back-to-school time again. Only…our heroes are not returning to school. What? Dropping out of 6th form? Our model pupils? Ron Weasley, well yes, probably, given half a chance. Harry Potter, ok, possibly, given a good enough reason. But Hermione Grainger? Not returning to complete the final year. Is this the end of civilisation as we know it? Not exactly. It is merely the end of a seven year odyssey through the life and times of ... more

    5 Stars The End of a Wonderful Series 28/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent story, lots of plot twists, excellent characters,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some characters die, its the end of the series

    I have been a huge Harry Potter fan since I was about 11 years old. I have a huge Harry Potter collection and I have read all of the books, some of them a couple of times. I was really excited when I heard that the publication date for the final instalment was July 21st 2007. I ordered it from Amazon back in March and was very excited when it arrived last Saturday morning. As I work weekends and my nephew came to stay with me until Wednesday I only finished the book today. I wanted to read each page thoroughly though, to make sure I properly appreciated everything that was happening. When The ... more
