Default Deathly Hallows Released : Post Comments (Don't post Spoilers)


OK, Guys HP : TDH is released finally. What do you think aboput it after reading it.
My Opinion.
Its not good. I expected a better thing from JKR. The plotline is too simple.
It seems she wrote the book for a child not for a avid HP reader.

Like to know your opinion too.

Yeah read it and it was just about an okie okie sorta book. Not what we, the numerous fans of HP had expected of Jk. The book was too abrupt from starting and lost its plot in the middle but slowly it again recovered and gripped the readers back as end neared and i loved the ending (though not much) but snape part was really good and i liked Albus Severus (Those who have read can understand ) Anyways i still cant believe that the leaked versions we got were real as it had even so many grammatical errors !!
How come they couldnt be edited ?

I went and bought it at 5 am, then read it and finished it by 8 am, then ate breakfast and read it again...slowly this time.

And as for comments, I believe this was the best HP book there is. There was so much plot development, so much action...just SO MUCH STORY packed into this, I was very happy about it. Unlike Half Blood Prince and Order of the Phoenix where half the book was about Harry's feelings and other useless tripe.

Ahhh...it feels great to complete the series. Its like scratching an itch I've had since 1999, which I'd even forgotten I had...

I agree that there was much more story in this one than in any other. Despite that, I still feel extremely unsatisfied by the ending. I'm almost willing to concede that the fan fiction writers have a nicer turn to tie up loose ends.

hmm... well forget the book the thing what i want to know is why some harry fans ***** about someone posting spoilers about the book, i mean if someone posts spolier they say you ruined the whole book for me.. etc.. i mean even a person with 60 IQ can tell if another person has posted spoilers or not , also many people use spolier tags , but the thing its human nature to do bad things & blame another person , so they blame that person of their own wrong doing , i mean come on its just a book , the only thing is the book has been marketed very well, make no mistake i also like the books but there are some better writers in india who don't get famous due to no marketing in india.


Ok if guys manage to read all that , i thank you for it


now about the book well they are many deaths in it, i won't tell who dies in it. but the ending is kinda disapointing , i mean when you read the ending even if you like it or not but you must admit that Harry Potter is just a kids book after all. ( you will find out when you read the ending).

Be Afraid, be very very afraid of the Potter-maniacs

But anyway, all those "kids" who started reading Harry Potter in 1999 have grown up, so...obviously they are disappointed. Next gen kids won't be cos they will finish the whole book in less then 5 days continuesly.

Anyway, I enjoy the movie & have never read the book. Some of my friends tell me the story instead.

finshed it just now. ending was very satisfying. can't see any other way JKR could have ended it better. all loose ends get tied up. u aren't left with any questions dangling. simply superb!!!! i'm going to start reading it again tomorrow

changed my mind, i'm gonna start reading it again right now, and continue whole night

It was only okay. Not that bad as some say. But it could have been much better at least the ending could have been made proper.

I hate King's Cross Chapter cause of the way she's portrayed a great Wizard and yet again hidden things and get away from under our nose. It was stupid, even more stupid than the end of Voldemort.

Just finished it. Liked it a lot especially the last few chapters. There should have been better ending though instead of that epilogue .. that really was a downer.

couldn't agree with you more. I LUVED the book, but that chapter sucked, It makes some things seem just toooo convenient. Can't talk much here without spoiling. but where exacly were they and how cld [i]he[i] talk (u know whom I am talking about), and the hallows part remains kind of unanswered, what exactly did 'master of you-know-what' mean?

I couldn't care abt the epilogue, it was only written by JK so that ppl don't bother her for writing another book.

ya man....ths enuf..
THIS THREAD IS THEREBY CLOSED FOR PRE-ReAD OR STILL UNREAD COMMENTS...SPOILERS BEYOND THIS LIMIT..


the plot was really weak this time..i have heard peple say tht the this is the best book in the series...but m really dissapointed...the last three books were very emotionally appealing and evn made peaple like me cry ovr the deaths of sirius and dumbledore...the frst few chapters were well in shape to be a awesum novel with mad eye dying and harry already in a state of complete dilemma.....but the search fr the horcruxes the middle..and the introduction of the deathly hallows as utter crap..i mean do u uys have any idea y the deathly hallows was named the titrl of the novel..i mean jk wud hav dun much better without introducing these stupid things wch do nt have ne impoortance warsoevr.if u had to make them interesting.let harry have all the things and then let him fite..the search fr horcruxes cud have been a bit more interestin......the fite in the chapter war at hogwarts or watevr was just like th last buk....nuthin new...the plo was vry predictable..
and wer on earth did nevill gt the sword of griffindor?..it was in grigotts wasnt it??....griphook died with it....

****** SPOILER ALERT*************

Yeah this was the point that was pinching me also about the last

How did Voldy die, means how could his curse rebound on him while harry sent an Expelliarmus on him ???
If his curse rebounded then the same should have happened with Harry, instead he lands up with two wands !!!
