Synopsis
Ten years after Potter-mania first swept the globe, the epic series draws to a close with HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, the hotly anticipated seventh and final book of the internationally revered Harry Potter series. Prophecies will be fulfilled. Beloved characters will die. Questions will be answered. (Is Dumbledore really gone forever? Who is R.A.B.? Is Severus Snape truly a villain?) In this final volume, Harry's seemingly impossible quest is to discover the locations of the remaining horcruxes--items sacred to Lord Voldemort containing shreds of his soul, making him immortal--and destroy them, saving the world from becoming a Death Eaters' paradise where Muggles are prey and purebloods rule. Accompanied by Ron and Hermione, Harry embarks on a dangerous, confusing, and often frustrating journey to discover the horcruxes. The trio is repeatedly in dire straits, making their mission seem, at times, doomed.Throughout the series, author J. K. Rowling has been steadily escalating events towards the climactic battle between Harry and the Dark Lord, and numerous seemingly trivial details from the previous novels play important roles--proof of Rowling's masterly control of the sprawling and multi-layered "wizarding world" she has invented. By far the darkest of the novels, this impressive finale shows Harry bereft of his godfather, Sirius Black, the wise and secretive Dumbledore, and even his friends: he is forced to truly grow up and face a fight where he is the sole lynchpin in the battle between righteousness and a nearly omnipotent evil. With modern problems re-imagined in a magical setting, echoes of Christianity, and an unwavering faith in goodness, Rowling's epic saga will remain a children's classic for generations to come. A 2007 New York Times Notable Book and a nominee for the 2008 Nebula Prize.

Industry Reviews
"Rowling has woven together clues, hints and characters from previous books into a prodigiously rewarding, suspenseful conclusion in which all the important questions, including the true nature of Severus Snape, the fates of Crabbe and Goyle, and the presence of the dark wizard Grindelwald on a Chocolate Frog card in book one, are punctiliously resolved."
(07/28/2007)
"It is Ms. Rowling's achievement in this series that she manages to make Harry both a familiar adolescent--coping with the banal frustrations of school and dating--and an epic hero, kin to everyone from the young King Arthur to Spider-Man and Luke Skywalker."
(07/19/2007)
"Rowling fulfills the promise of earlier volumes, tying up loose threads, deepening character complexities to match Harry's evolving recognition of life's shades of gray, pulling out every emotional stop, and leading her hero into adulthood while still producing the most focused plot line and layered, heart-in-throat climax of the series."
(09/01/2007)
"Harry and Rowling rally their troops so successfully, it's almost painful to be stuck on the sidelines. As always, Rowling's greatest strength is the ability to whisk readers away to a fully imagined world...For one last time, fans will be longing to grab a wand, hop on their broom, and join the fray."
(07/23/2007)
"As with the previous books, infelicitous stylistic choices and overlong expository passages are forgiven in favor of meticulous plotting and flawless characterization; one need only picture McGonagall leading an army of animated school desks into battle to know that Rowling understands her characters deeply and perfectly."

I don't think I ever waited on Christmas like I did for this book and Rowling did not disappoint me.
Deathly Hollows picks up right where The Half Blood Prince left off and Rowling doesn't miss a beat.
Our three favorite heroes know what they have to do but only have a few obscure clues to work from. They must find their own solutions on how to accomplish their misson. While this is a theme common in the other 6 books, this time there is no safety net provided by the adults. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders alone.
As they go from one adventure to the next, gaining (at first) seemingly useless information and narrowly avoiding death, they slowly piece together how everything must fit together. Even then Rowling is not yet done: the solution itself is a test, and the hardest challenge Harry ever had to take.
The book is dark and bloody, more so than The Order of the Pheonix. In case the reader had any doubt about that, Voldermort sets it straight in the very first chapter. The body count continues to go up and Rowling gives no indication of playing favorites. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is safe until the last spell is cast, somewhere in the last 10 pages or so.
While it was sad seeing so many characters I had grown attached to die, I did not have the same sense of dispair that I did with Pheonix. I never doubted for one page that good would win in the end and I could take comfort in that their sacrafices would not be in vain.
While I sincerly hope that Ms. Rowling will continue to write, I believe it is time for a new series. Harry Potter was as close to perfection as I'm likely to see in this world. I don't want that delicate balance upset.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Get the British or American edition?
Created: 09/08/07
) If you want every First printing of Rowling's history-making series, there are four versions of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows you will want to acquire (not to mention one copy of the 1,700 UK copies she personally and truly signed in London on July 21 if you were connected well enough to get an admission ticket!).
Generally, I feel that the books and dustjackets from British publishers are made better and display a superior artistic design.
I have to say, though, that the American Deluxe edition in a slipcase with the exclusive dustjacket artwork by Mary GrandPre showing Harry, Hermione, and Ron perched atop the flying dragon is superior to the UK Deluxe edition (in my opinion). A Silver ribbon bookmark sewn into the spine is a nice feature [from Bloomsbury in London] but the quality and quanity of GrandPre's color and black and white drawings for the USA edition enhance the text to the point of being a storyboard for the future film based on Deathly Hallows. I have not read one HP book by J.K. Rowling! However, I do love it when words and images are brought together in a superb manner. (I spent my summers (during the 1960s) devouring comic books.)
So, everyone in the United Kingdom, you are now encouraged to acquire the American Deluxe edition!!!
As only 100,000 copies were produced for the Frist printing, this edition is, de facto, a Limited Edition too.
By the way, if you got a copy of the Deluxe edition, wrap it in unbleached muslin and store it in a drawer. Whatever you do, Don't read it! The spine will get cracked!
Cheers, Linda.

Deluxe Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Created: 09/07/10
) Admitting to the fact that I own paperback and hardback editions of all 7 Harry Potter novels, and all of the two-disc editions of the movies, plus the four-disc deluxe movie editions that have been released as yet, it is only logical that I was biding my time to make the deluxe book purchases. It only took me so long to acquire them because I wanted to buy them at a reasonable price, and $80-$100 or more didn't seem like the best use of my funds for something that I already had a copy of. So why buy the book for yet a third time? Completist obsession, maybe? Very likely. Too bad there are no deluxe book editions for the first four volumes. I'd be suckered into them too.
No, I bought it because of the artwork: different colored artwork by illustrator Mary GrandPre which wrapped all the way around the jacket, including the spine and the additional picture per chapter beyond the one at the title of each chapter. And that's it. Artwork is the sole reason I purchased these books yet again. And I like having things that most other people don't have (at least that are not too expensive - I am a poor student after all)...it's a particular quirk of mine. I hope this helps you make your decision easier.

Best Harry Potter Yet!!!!
Created: 02/10/08
) This was the best book yet. I love the Harry Potter sets. They leave you on the edge of your seat wondering how they will get out of the next pickle they get into. She does a fantastic writing job. It took me 3 days to read the book. (if I hadn't had a time frame to stick with I would have read all 796 pgs in one night) I cried (not as much as I did in Half blood prince that one was really sad), I laughed out loud (kids thought I was crazy) and I got worried with whether or not Harry would make it out of the last battle. I think this series is a must read for anyone of age. I don't recommend for littler kids, to much death to try and explain. However, when my kids turn of age, I will most surely pass them on to my boys. Even thou the movies will be out, theres so much more in the books. I hope she will write more books. I enjoyed them tremendously. I can't wait to see it in the movie theaters. Bloody hell it was a GREAT READ. Action, love, loss and victory all in one book.
No Book 7 Spoilers
Created: 14/06/07
Well, to those would-be spoilers, thanks for TRYING to ruin it for everyone. I doubt anyone will believe that you've actually READ the book everyone's waiting for.
Some people have no desire to hear theories or potential spoilers about book 7, and shame on you for trying to throw them out there where people might read them when they don't want to. There is a proper place for such discussion - like the ebook about Deathly Hallows that I am selling.
One thing is for certain, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is going to be amazing, action-packed, and heart-breaking all at the same time. I can't wait - mine's already pre-ordered, is yours?
