Finished Deathly Hallows at lunchtime.

OK, it may just be me reading it too quick, but I don't think I spotted too much that annoyed me about it. About all I could really think of, is that there could probably have done with a synopsis/review of what the horcruxes so far were.

The last horcrux was fairly predictable I felt, but no worse for that. As was how they dealt with it. Not quite sure what the actual point of the 'Deathly Hallows' actually was, but it was rather nice that it seemed to have a certain amount of foreshadowing to it, rather than dropping it in as a deus ex.

Also rather liked what was done with Snape. There was always enough ambiguity there, but I think that one worked pretty well.

Showdown, had a bit of 'now I am teh master' to it, but ... well, that fit fairly well.

's not a bad read, and despite being 600 pages, it's a fairly 'light' 600 pages.

Yeah, that'll do as a conclusion, and it wasn't as full of waffle as some of the previous instances have been.

I really enjoyed it, am actually rereading it now to see what i missed first time round. I too thought the bit with Snape was really good, especially since I'd already been bent on him being good (well goodish) anyway. Paul will testament to how much I cried like the big girl I am at the end though - those last three deaths felt terrible.

Guessed the final horcrux last book. My friend Kim guessed who took the locket and spotted it in Order of the Phoenix correctly. One all, Kim.

Nonetheless the plot wasn't totally predictable, a good book. Loved the stuff with Snape too.

But... Hedwig... No.....! :(
