Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (by J. K. Rowling)

This book is AMAZING and J.K. Rowling is a very talented storyteller. I don't understand some of these reviews, like "iffy" for age seventeen. Your seventeen year old must have grown up under a rock. I read the Harry Potter series to my five year old sister and she enjoys it. Sure, there's tons of violence and death, but you know what? That's just a part of life. I like how J.K. Rowling doesn't try to sugercoat it, with the good side making it out with barely a scratch and the bad guys begging for mercy. She wrote it the way it should be. Because in a war, both sides lose a little. And people need to understand that.

Holy Poop! (sorry) This is the greatest of them all. Stunning, gripping, terrifying, beautiful, sad. I started this series this year. The first two were fun, and when the third came along, I didn't know what to expect. Friend's of mine, have told me that this series got slightly darker as the series progressed. Once the third was finished, I bought every Harry Potter in hard back. This year, I have made friends with many of people, and all of them from a book. Books, can give us something, that some times, it's too hard to see something in real life. This was my finale thought after I finished this. This novel was... life altering for me. And as the last thud of the finale book being closed, was like a punch, and I knew this time... no more Harry Potter. This novel helped me see the difference between friend and best friend. I think the all catorizing thing as he is a friend and he's a best is stupid. They are friends if there willing to take risk with you. Life is too short, and thats a problem to me. Okay, now for the review about the story, and violence, sex, language, messages, role models, and the fear factor. The story in this one is, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, now 17, set out to find the five remaining Horcruxes (is that how you spell it?) On the trip, they make new realizations about each other, about love, and many other things. The trip is full of twists, and turns, death, and fear, love, and worry, and just plain friends. The violence includes gory sequences, curses being shot at people. Hitting, and some truly creepy scenes. The sex includes, kissing jokes, and some questionable behavior. Language also includes d***, sh*t, s***, p***, used a couple of times, also git, bloody, and hell. And as the book progresses you know that Harry Potter's finale battle is looming ahead. Beautiful. Enjoy!

A VERY exciting end to the Harry Potter series. There are many twists and turns, and many questions are answered. I started the HP series when I was in the third grade, and I was in fifth (10 yrs.) when the final book was released/I finished reading the series. As the title "Deathly Hallows" would suggest, there is a lot of violence and death in this book, as well as some depressing moments. That is why I recommend that you are at least 10 years old before reading this, because some of the events are a bit mature.

I LOVE Harry Potter! I rated this iffy for 11 and up because a lot of charactors die, and ussually when charactors die, you well, cry. For me it was mostly when( SPOILER ALERT )Dobby died (SPOILER ALERT OVER). He was so cute! A free elf... Any way, when Hermione was being tourtured I was nervouse, as well as many times Harry's scar burned. The kissing parts were just plain akward, and there's some bad language. My highlights were that there are good messages and role modles. The messages have to do with that "blood purity" doesn't matter, and that whole thind with Harry being "master of death" because he wasn't afraid of dying anymore. Hermione is great with problem solving and equility, Harry's brave and (SPOILER ALERT!) Harry died himself (and came back alive) (SPOILER ALERT OVER) protected people he loved. Molly Weasly fought for her family, Luna Lovegood is unique, and the main trio stays together no matter what. I only have one thing to say : I want a book 8!

One word. Epic. SPOILER ALERT! This book is different then the other books, because Harry, Hermoine, and Ron don't go back to Hogwarts, instead they go on a hunt for horcruxes. This brings a whole new aspect of violence that is much different then the other Harry books. Young kids expecting to go back to Hogwarts will be dissapointed, and possibly disturbed. Harry sacrifices himself to save his friends, he does come back to life, but it is a mature theme. SPOILER OVER. Many sad deaths of beloved characters, and lots of other, unnamed deaths. A dead old woman turns into a snake, a locket tries to strangle Harry, and Hermoine is tortured. Ron walks out on Harry and Hermoine, but he comes back. A few profanities, (not much more then the other books, and one iffy joke. For 11 year olds and mature 10 year olds.

This is a really good book for most people that are 9+, but if you're not the kind of person that likes adventure with some violence and fantasy, just don't bother reading it until you are a little older. Overall, awesome book.

HP7 is totally awesome! It ends everything well, and Harry, Hermione and Ron are good because they never do anything bad, and the good vs. evil concept is built on in the series finale. However, there is a substantial amount of cursing. There is 1 use of b***h, 2 uses of b****rd, and 67 uses of hell. The amount of violence is intense. At least 100 people die, including a bunch of major characters. There are mentions to making out, and Harry is naked when he dives for the locket, and Ron makes a few comments on rape, but barely anyone will notice. Harry, Hermione and Ron drink beer even though they are underage, and they do not get caught. The bottom line is: the book is great, but the extreme violence and cursing make it appropriate only for people 13 and older.

What can I say? Harry Potter is my favorite series ever! This last book is amazing! The message is a great one: good vs. evil. All the characters have really matured over the years. To many readers it feels like they've grown up with Harry. Harry is always doing what is right, even if he has to sacrifice himself. To Voldemort it is a weakness, though we know that this is really Harry's biggest streangth! Though it is a darker book, Rowling lightens it up with some humor too. I've read it 4 times!

yeah i love harry potter no doubt around it i live for the thrill i cried when tonks died i really think she is awesome
