Review (no spoilers)
There were some complaints that Book 6 — "Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince" — didn't have a lot of
action until the end, that its role seemed to be
filling in important bits of back story and setting
the stage for the final installment.

There will be no such complaints here. The pace picks
up from the start, with readers thrown into a world
that's much darker than any of the previous Potter
books. Harry and friends Ron and Hermione are on a
quest some weeks after the death of Headmaster Albus
Dumbledore, and it's time to put aside familiar faces
and places and get on their way.

Lord Voldemort, Harry's nemesis, seems to be
everywhere, his tentacles of power reaching into every
corner. It's a dangerous world they must travel, and
no place or happy occasion is safe. Their journey
takes them to some unexpected locations and makes them
interact with a whole host of characters, including
some who were merely references in other books and
some who are painfully familiar faces.

Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the search for
horcruxes, vessels that Voldemort created to hold
pieces of his soul, which make it impossible to kill
him as long as they exist. The search has them moving
over various parts of the United Kingdom as they try
to fit all the pieces together. Many secrets are
finally revealed, all leading up to the ultimate
confrontation between Harry and the wizard who tried
to kill him so long ago.

Harry has become a young man
Rowling captured many hearts with her first book, and
her last is guaranteed to keep them. She is amazingly
gifted, demonstrated not only by the incredibly
detailed world she has created, but by the depth of
feeling and complexity she writes into her characters.

It's all here: humor, courage, redemption, sadness,
terror, human frailty — sometimes all in the same
character. There are sections that will make readers
laugh out loud, as well as scenes of such sadness that
tears are inevitable.

From a boy of 11, Harry has become a young man,
determined to take on quite a burden. He suffers
because of his commitment, and he's not the only one.

Rowling said characters would die, and she meant it.
Pain and death are constant companions, and sometimes
who is taken is a shocker. The deaths aren't always
drawn-out, violent scenes; sometimes, you discover
that someone has died at the same time Harry does.

Characters you thought you knew surprise you. Some
grow in unexpected (and not always pleasant) ways,
while others have more complicated pasts than you
could ever imagine. No one's life is simple — with a
couple of Death Eater exceptions, many of the
characters prove that you can't make assumptions about
people's motivations.

Rowling rewards her faithful readers; there are
numerous allusions to people, places, spells and
objects that were mentioned in earlier books. It's a
pleasure to see how she closes the loop she opened so
many years ago with the story of a young boy who one
day discovered he was a wizard.

And, of course, she answers many questions: Why did
Snape kill Dumbledore? Is Snape Harry's enemy? Where
are the horcruxes? What are the deathly hallows?
