As I’ve said before, it feels silly to attempt a synopsis of this widely read, much loved series (or this installment — Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling — the seventh and final book in the series for that matter); so I’m not going to try.
I wish a few details had been wrapped up that weren’t. Either that, or just leave the postscript ending off entirely, instead of wrapping up some things but leaving others shrouded in secrecy. But in general, I really liked this book. I was nigh unto tears, if not actually crying, a few times while reading this seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series. The Harry Potter books really are well-written. For the most part, as the series progresses, the stories and writing seem to improve.
My brief thoughts on previous books in the series.

I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed the series. I hope to eventually go back and re-read the books slowly, picking up details that I missed the first time as I tried to read each one before it could be spoiled.
I’m so glad you reviewed this !
