Read 12 times. Last read June 25, 2022 to June 29, 2022.
5 Golden Stars
End of an Epic journey,
7 books full of magic & fun & friendship.
7 books of constant thrills
7 precious gems
It's the last station.
We're in the Endgame now.
You can find whole HP series review in full detail Here
I loved the second half of this book wholeheartedly! it was thrilling & wonderful! how they were enlightened by the information. how they solved the mystery! how they reacted, planned & how it ended. it was EPIC!
the first half was mysterious too. I liked that.
but the newspaper articles about the backstory was boring. & the part before the main story begins, & the camping-no-clues part, without anything interesting (or useful) happens were slow.
This is the most emotional book in HP series; from the beginning. maybe the most crying book of my whole life:
I cried at first, 25%, in the middle, later in the middle, in 75% & many times toward the end:
(view spoiler) sobbing & curling in the corner. (I am even crying now as I'm just typing these.)
always crying; at all the readings.
also Stephen Fry narrating was amazing; made me cry even more & also at the last 40%.
All his emotions not just in quotes, but in Harry's thoughts, memories & feelings, all their tones, all parts their voices broke, shattered or trembled, now very very tangible & more realistic. (better than my imagination; also Harry's voice is exactly the voice I always heard in my head reading the books.)
I love this book!
I think in my 7th read, I cried even more over my most crying book.
(I mean, I cried all over the 'forest again' chapter & the last sentences made me completely burst into tears.)
don't worry, it has fun times too.
the ending was brilliant! mysteries solved! (& I'm mad about changing it in the movie!)
epic battle! (view spoiler)
Romione & then Harry's reaction was priceless!
and the Flaw in the Plan....
One of my favourite chapters in the whole HP! I love the last battle. I love the way Harry explained it. (confident! courageous! sassy! taunting!) the clues even I, as a reader, might have missed. (at least in the first read I did. that's the whole point of a story being a legend, you don't see the clues wrapping up in the story until it's explained & next times you re-read it, you'll see them.)
I can read those last 3 chapters over & over again.
so exciting! so epic! so brilliant! (& they CHANGED that in the movies! How DARE they!?)
I was at the edge of my seat for the last 30%. all of it. in most of my readings. so thrilling! never gets old!
Harry is smart & brave.
& I love the epilogue. fun & great.
2021 May: now I can say I read the whole HP series 10 times, yay! until next time!
& at my first read, I was afraid about how the story would be ended (because Harry is my favourite character) & this was my first series (no experience, no reader prediction ability, etc, etc.
(view spoiler)

“For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs.

James lifted an invisible sword.
“‘Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!� Like my dad.�
Snape made a small, disparaging noise. James turned on him.

“Where’re you hoping to go, seeing as you’re neither?� interjected Sirius.”

I had to look for all your HP reviews cause they are so great! I had a lot of fun reading them. I've been avoiding rereading HP because I'm disappointed with JK, but for the first time in quite a few years I felt this huge need to read it all again. Thanks :')
