Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Just finished. First thing I did was login here to read this thread, which I've been ignoring for the past two weeks!
As everyone else has posted, it's dark, dark, dark compared to the earlier books. Probably more wizard violence and blood spilled in this volume than in all the previous six combined. I liked how the tone "matures" as Harry and friends do. After all, they're (young) adults now. The climactic battle scene kind of reminded me of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones where our heroes actually go to war.
"Spoiler-iotum"!!
Overall, an enjoyable read and satisfying end to the series. As with anything with as many fans as it has, it can't be the be-all, end-all to everyone.
