Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I just finished the 7th and the last (or so it is said) of the Harry Potter book series. It is full of surprises, but I won't say too much in case you have not had a chance to read it yet.

The book does tie up the loose ends in the series, but this is not a book for young children. There is a lot of death and violence in it.

I have read books 3 to 7 and saw movies 1 to 5 - the last movie only yesterday. It appears that they became more slanted to adults as they went along. Maybe it made for a larger reader base, but it did get a bit intense for children, I think.

The Epilogue may be the basis for a new series of books. We'll see. I recommend it - for adults at least.
