I couldn't wait to get this final book in the series and boy was the wait worth it. I had originally purchased the first book for my son who was 4 years of age at the time to read it to him. I wanted him to get excited about reading books and thought this book would be the one to do it. After reading the first book I became hooked and couldn't wait for the next installment. I waited patiently for each new book to arrive and got more and more into the series. I was both happy and sad last year when I received this book as I knew it was the last in the series and the adventures of Harry Potter and the gang. Well this book definitely made the entire series worthwhile. All my questions had been answered and there was even a very believeable happy ending. The book left you with a feeling of completion and fulfillment. This book summed up all the loose ends and answered questions that had you hanging by the end of each other books ending. J.K Rowling is a highly talented author that aged the books along appropriately. As the children in the series grew in age so did their storylines. The books were written in such a fashion that you could actually imagine yourself being a part of the story, you were given the opportunity to visually watch the characters mature and deal with issues that would actually affect a person of that age. Well written book and a delightful series for all ages.
