A review by fientasie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

5.0

just finished this one and now i’m sad. i haven’t read the last two books in so long i had forgotten about so many of the details. even some deaths shocked me again haha. it’s such a good last book in a series though! i think it could’ve been a bit more stretched out and even though it would kill me i do think the pain of certain deaths would hit and sting more if there was a bit more of a recovery story after the battle and they’re no longer there anymore. on the other hand, the ending of the storyline (not taking the flashforward into account) is very strong, i like that nobody really knows where the survivors go and what goes on in the aftermath. i am quite in disbelief of how many literal teenagers survived the battle though, but oh well, i’m happy to think about how they could’ve lived long and happy lives. 
anyways i wish i could read 37283 more of these books, i’ve fallen in love with the series all over again. this time specifically with the side characters and their lives and the relationships and bonds between the hogwarts students - like dean and luna’s friendship that developed in the last book, but also the kids in dumbledore’s army that we hear about throughout multiple books, like hannah abbott and susan bones, terry boot and ernie macmillan, etc etc
