“Spoiler alert! Don't read this review unless you've already read the book. Hey, it's amazing. So many things explained and wrapped up, a break-neck thriller pace. Loved it. However, on reflection, I disagree with her ending. I understand it, but disagree. To me, the book ends when Harry accepts his fate, decides to sacrifice himself to save the world, and walks into his doom surrounded by the love of his family and friends. This is a true hero.
But I understand JK is writing for children, and this may be too harsh. So, OK, I accept the confusing wand logic, and contrived happy ending. Still hate the epilogue, but I see that others will find it comforting and completing.
Whatever. It's a heck of an ending for an amazing story. JK's the best!”
