What Parents Need to Know
About Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Parents need to know that this is a grim, violent book. Deaths occur in nearly every chapter, and suspense, misery, and pain permeate much of the story. We know younger kids will want to (and probably will) read this wonderful end to the Potter series, but because of the heavy themes, we've rated it for age 12 and up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the publishing phenomenon that is Harry Potter. Why has it been so successful? What makes it different from other books and series for children? Is it just hype, or something more? Also, what do you think about the way author Rowling ends the series? Are you satisfied? How is it different from what you expected? Do you wish anything was different? Do you understand the complex reasoning that leads to the denouement?

pretty darn good book!
it was quiet good really. it had some (well........... maybe a lot!) of killing in it. it also has magic and sorcery which i know some families won't let their children read it. :/ but over all it is a pretty darn good book!
