Rating: 5 stars

With everything that has been said about his book, I have to say that I enjoyed it completely. A lot of people aren’t too pleased with the ending, but I accept that this is JK Rowling’s creation; only she knows how the books should and can end. No amount of fan pondering and analyzing can really make a fan know better than her. It’s her creation, her world. I thought the developing, finally realized relationship between Rom and Hermione was absolutely adorable. In between the tension of the serious, dark plot, their interactions were refreshing. It was also nice to see Neville get to be Hero again, and to see that Harry is not perfect in mind or in spirit. Yet, there’s an important underlying moral there that a person can still be imperfect but do the right thing for the right reasons, often times selflessly. The ‘final’ battle of Harry v. Voldemort felt sort of rushed, but I accept that. It certainly wasn’t anti-climactic. I went away from it feeling that all had been said and done; indeed, many holes were left, but I was content with the answers given. And though the battle was quick, battles aren’t often long drawn out dramatic affairs. They don’t need to stretch on for pages and pages to be meaningful.
