My 10 year old read all 7 books (700-900 pages each) within months! You can't put a price on that!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2019

My ten year old daughter read the entire series within a few months. One of the books is almost 900 pages and she read it in 2 weeks! Finding 1 book that keeps your child intrigued and helps him or her develop a love for reading is amazing. J.K. Rowling gave my daughter 7! And now she's reading Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Now I've been reading the books she's finished and her younger siblings are eager to read them as well.

Pages missing!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018

I ordered this book for my daughter and she couldn’t put it down but at page 573, it jumped to 620. I’ve missed the return window. Just make sure to check the pages as soon as you receive the book.

The book started out good but discovered as I was reading it that it's missing almost 50 pages in the middle of the book. Disappointing and frusterating

Book was improperly printed, pages missing and in wrong order.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

The book has a printing error where pages are missing and in the wrong order. At page 620, the next page is number 573. I've included images of the book where the error is. If you turn pages ahead, the pages repeat pages 573-620 again and then rejoin the proper page chronology at page 669. Also, pages 621-668 are completely missing so I can't even read them in a different section and finish the story. :/

I love the series! However, the condition of the books were awful

I bought this book and The Half Blood Prince brand new. I received old, used, and very damaged books. I immediately contacted the seller and explained the books were very damaged, and I was sent two new books. The Half Blood Prince was fine, however the Deathly Hallows was very bent. I’m very disappointed because this is the first time I’m reading the series and I wanted aesthetically pleasing books for the collection. The story is absolutely amazing and I look forward to reading it, but still, the damage to the books make it look very unappealing.

Third reading

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020

I enjoyed this book very much. So much is revealed in the character's thinking and about how events over the whole story are related in subtle and intricate ways. An incredible story. And still, there was so much not in the movie(s).

You may know it took two films to tell the story within The Deathly Gallows. Even while reading what seemed like a whole story, I was surprised to look and see that there was still well over a third of the book remaining for me to read. As Henry Higgins said, "How delightful!"

I wonder how many readers will recognize the quote shown several times in The Deathly Hallows, “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death” as a verse from the Bible. (1 Corinthians 15:26) . I hope that many will because the start of that Bible chapter states the Gospel that saves us from death

As always the case, the book is so much better than the movie.

My nephew kept at me about my criticism of Harry Potter because I hadn't read the books, well, with all this pandemic mess, I had time to spare so I started with the first book, and read straight through to the seventh. I can say from my perspective as an avid reader, Ms. Rowling is no Agatha Christie, or J. R. R. Tolkien; however she does write compelling stories here that keep the reader's interest. Many things I found to be predictable which irritated my nephew to no end; but this didn't matter; she did have enough surprises to keep you guessing. I read for the joy of reading and can see the attraction of the books--however I also watched each movie after I finished a book and have to say--not that it surprised me at all--the books, including this one, are far better than the movie, even with all the CGI that makes "eye-candy" for the young folks who become Potterheads. The books, from 1 to 7 are all BETTER than the movies and I was amazed at how much Ms. Rowling allowed them to completely change whole sections and timelines of the story in the book, when transferred to the screen. In either case, I find this to be the darkest of the series and I personally wouldn't want a child of mine reading it until they were going on 16 because of language and the depth of rather dark imagery--I know kids today see and hear much worse, but I'm an old foggy and just think this should be reserved for upper teens as it definitely has the potential to create creepy imagery that could traumatize the younger children. Parents, you be the judge as to whether your kids can handle a lot of death, darkness, eerie scenes and sexual innuendo, (never direct) at whatever age is best suited for your kids. Now that's my view as a parent and uncle... As a reader, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the series and have my favorites despite having read all seven... they are 1, 2, 6 and 7. (I need closure and 7 provides that) . For all my criticisms--if you enjoy fantasy, (and I love it) with some mystery and intrigue-- you'll like these books, and this is one of the best in the entire series.

The perfect book to cap off an amazing series

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018

The progression of Harry’s story from an 11 year old just off to Hogwarts to a 17 year old off too take down Voldemort is truly remarkable. Harry has matured, and yet he’s still a teenager, with his mercurial teenaged emotions and concerns. All of Harry’s friends have likewise matured. Excellent character development is one of J. K. Rowling’s gifts to the world. If a young reader has made it this far, they deserve to keep going and finish the series. It’s a very serious book and deals with death and dying quite a bit, as well as loss, love, friendship, and redemption. You WILL cry.

So I've always loved this series, along with so many other books that involve magic and fantasy like this. (Some include KOTLC, Wings of Fire, and the manga Flying Witch). I looked at some of the other reviews, and found some, uh, "bad" parts of the book to. There are some love scenes in this (which might have made me miss somebody I love) which I find adorable. But the main thing that annoyed me were the characters deaths.

~·~·~·~WARNING ~·~ SPOILERS ~·~ AHEAD~·~·~·~

Ok so, let's start with the deaths in this.

Fred Weasley:

Fred and George are my favorite characters because they always bring the humor. But to kill off one of the twins? That's just cruel. I'm sure a lot of the HP fans love this series because of the humor and magic. I counted on the twins to be in this book a lot to make it less boring, but instead, it kills of a twin.

Mad eye Moody:

Moody was a great character and I loved him through the series. But killing him off is meaningless. If to want to kill a character make it worth it though.

Lupin, Tonks, and Colin:

Lupin. (Fun fact, the word "Lup" means wolf) He was a amazing professor and loved that he was one of James Potter's friends. He was so understanding to and was sad when he died. Tonks on the other hand. If she just gave birth she would be in absolutely NO condition to move around. She would also need to feed the baby milk from the beast for the first few months. So. And Colin, I have no words for him, but the fact that his death was pointless.

Snape:

Why would Voldemort kill his most faithful DE for a dang wand? That's absurd. His last words to Harry was also stupid. "Look at me"? That's all he has to say to Lily' s son? It's meaningless.

It's a good book without its flaws though. But nobody can be perfect.

~~ Happy Reading Everybody!~~
~~~ Good day, night out whatever time it is for you~~~

Sincerely,

and each time I enter the world of witches and wizards I am amazed at Rowling's wizardry in creating this rich

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2014

I am a veteran of several trips through the Harry Potter saga, and each time I enter the world of witches and wizards I am amazed at Rowling's wizardry in creating this rich, and exciting tale of a boy and his friends' adventures and maturing. If escapism is your goal, the Harry Potter series is a great choice. What I appreciated about the Deathly Hallows is the confident plotting. The story flows, and the sins and omissions of the characters are rewarded and punished. I like the series -- a lot. If there is anything annoying about Harry Potter is his sheer dumb luck. Very few literary characters have managed to squeeze out victory against overwhelming odds.

By all means, buy the series for your Kindle and have a wonderful world waiting for you whenever you need it.
