Super sad.

I thought it was a great ending for the series. It's not like she really had a lot of options how she could end the series without pissing off tons of fans, so this was one of the best if not the only good way it could end. My only wish was that there would have been more elaboration on what happened to everyone directly after the final battle, and later in the epilogue, because I'm curious where everyone was at that point in their lives as well. All we really know from the final chapter and the epilogue is that certain major characters died and 3 couples that they pointed out in during the epilogue had children. Would have been nice to know a little more.

Ive still not finished part 7.. so sad right? I got it 5th of december, 2008. I just dont wanna read more! Though I wanted it to last forever, both books and movies.

Huh? If I'm not mistaken there's word on another book being released.

The newest release is more of a companion book like Tolkein's Simmarillion was. It's called "Tales of Beedle the Bard" and it's the book that Hermione received in Dumbeldore's Will, so that we can read it now. Originally it wasn't supposed to ever become a book but apparently after the short story auction where they sold a index card w/ a very basic form of the story on it for a ridiculous amount they decided companion books were the way to go. To the best of my knowledge it has no information whatsoever about Harry, Ron, or Hermione, it is simply a collection of stories, mostly centering one in particular, the tale of the Deathly Hallows, the items and how there were supposedly received from death, in its supposedly original form.

That's a bit disappointing.

[Kiaso]

Another book really??? where and when did you hear about another book!?

[Corwin]

When the bookstores sent me emails announcing it's upcoming release.

[soulten]

I did not like the ending it was to unserious, or should I say expected. I was hoping for a more serious ending.

[Mugen]

I thought the last one was The Half Blood Prince...

The Harry Potter series was my 1st bout with Literary CRACK!!! I could not get enough of the books...I have read each of the books at least 5 times each! I have them all on CD 4 crying out loud! The ending was very satisfying even though some major characters died...

[carolyn07]

...i dont want it to happen!,.♥

It really was literary crack, I have to admit that. I didn't even know about the series until about the time the 4th book came out in hardback I think, maybe it was the third, I just remember all of a sudden hearing about it and wondering how all the furor over a series could have occurred for so long w/o me noticing it. At first I looked and saw that it was a series intended for children and dismissed it as pointless to read and that all the furor over it was just someone just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. But of course I can't really bag on a series w/o checking it out myself, so I bought the first 2 books in paperback figuring that if they turned out to be crap I knew ppl would take them off my hands. Next thing I knew I was buying the third book later that night or the next day and I was hooked. I remember going to all the midnight releases for books 5-7, I might have gone to the release of 4, I don't remember, but I don't think so. I remember sitting outside Barnes & Nobles at 10p with a buddy of mine, someone that I was shocked to even find out read books(yes I judged him w/o asking, but for god's sake, he was an alcoholic pothead, who would have thought he'd like to read anything, much less Harry Potter) getting drunk while listening to Sublime and Slipknot at full blast on the car stereo w/ the doors open and the subs pumping, watching some kid ask her mom what a whore was as Sublime's "Wrong Way" played and having a great time waiting for the release. Then of course finishing most of the book that night and the rest at work(I sped through my paperwork so I could finish reading but they wouldn't let me leave early). And then getting the later ones, finishing book 6 before work, going in exhausted and excited about the next one while feeling like everyone else, dissappointed that Dumbledore died. And then finally Book 7 was on the way, I scrimped and saved, b/c money was getting tight at this point, and I managed to put together enough cash to preorder the book, waited in line at the midnight release and promptly biked home the 7.5 miles back to my house from the Border's book store, glad I hadn't heard that idiot from the news station reading passages from the last chapter of the book and wishing it wasn't going to take me so long to get home, where I put my bike away, grabbed my dog, a drink, and some food, and promptly sat myself down in the recliner outside and read it until I finished about 8hrs later. I have to say, despite the fact that the series was originally intended for children, I think it turned out to be a great literary work, even if it isn't in the same class as most of what is considered to be literary masterpieces. I particulary liked how the language and concepts in the series grew not only with the characters but the readers as well. I can't but hope that she will start another series that is as good and at least as long lasting as Harry Potter, or longer.
