Never having read the books, i did not know what to expect. I was excited and nervous to read the ending of the last book, i could NOT put it down. The ending of the series had a lot of surprises along with many deaths. One of the things i did not like was all the deaths. I understand and get the fact that it is a war and people die but a lot of my favorite characters die, some like Fred, Tonks and Dobby to name a few. Even when Hedwig died, i was upset especially the way Hedwig died was upsetting. My overall feelings of the last book were ones of heart ache, shock, love and fear. Even though there was so much bad in the world at the time for them, they still had each other and all the love and understanding they had for one another was enough to keep them going. Snape, i always had mixed feelings about him. I never knew what to expect with him. I never thought he was particulary bad, but i didnt think he was all that good. After reading the last book though, when was thing was explained, it made so much more sense. He did everything for his childhood crush Lily. Even though it was her son, he was doing it all in her name. When he gave all the memories that he had about talks him and Dumbledor had, it made even more sense about he asked Snape to do. Dumbledore also did not tell Harry a lot, but if he did tell him, things wouldnt have ended like they did. Harry's fate i think may have changed. Also i think, the three best friends (harry, hermione and ron) went through so much during the last part of this book as well. They lost so many people, ron lost his brother. I also they they grew closer as friends and family. Overall i think this series is so strong and well written. Rowling pulls in many ideas from history and pulls it into the wizarding world. I wish there were more books, im so sad its over!
