Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

Warning: Spoilers

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, one of the most anticipated books of all times, is it worth the wait?
The answer would be yes.
But Harry Potter 7 is not a masterpiece by any stretch of imagination or even the best book in the series (for me atleast).

The book has a tepid beginning and a lame ending. However, the central part of the book is the part worth waiting for. The quest for the horcruxes, the story of the deathly hallows etc keep one hooked to the book.

However the book doesnt have as many twists & turns as Prisoner of Azkaban, nor is it as spell binding as Goblet of Fire (my favourite one by far) and lacks the humor of Chamber of Secrets. But its not supposed to be humorous. The darkest book in the series by far with loads of deaths, close shaves and thankfully no mush.

10 years & 7 books later, Harry Potter saga comes to an end. The ending is open & shut so I dont expect a book 8. However, I want more Harry Potter books on the first coming of Voldemort, the life of Albus Dumbledore.i.e. The prequels to Harry Potter. Hope Rowling is listening.

PS: Quite a few of the predictions made by Shradz & me were spot on. Maybe we should write a fantasy series ourselves
