A thrilling, emotionally-satisfying, totally absorbing conclusion to the epic and undeniably amazing Harry Potter series of books that takes the beloved characters into entirely uncharted territory as they race against time and other obstacles to defeat a great evil. With this novel, author J. K. Rowling lays everything on the line and reveals the breathtaking, and mostly unexpected, answers to the burning questions all fans have had throughout the preceeding 6 installments, while continuing to serve up brand-new concoctions of the highest degree. If you're a fan of fantasy, the situations, characters, and creatures presented in this book are a pure treat, but it would all be for naught if the human story within this incredibe environment wasn't written with the same deftness. Although witches and wizards with amazing powers, the characters of this series are instantly recognizable and undeniably human beings, and the dramatic story full of universal truths that Rowling has been able to tell is nothing short of overwhelming. A fantastic and exhausting end to an incredibe fantasty series that should be required reading for all!
