The Harry Potter series tends to divide people -- at least those that let themselves be divided -- into lovers and haters. I can vaguely remember the time when I was, while not a hater, skeptic in an uninterested way. There was much too much brouhaha about these books for my taste, as mentioned in a previous entry, but I was converted very easily.
Since then, I am not necessarily an ardent lover of the Harry Potter books, but I do really like them. This includes the last volume of the series. Of course, Rowling has to work hard to pick up all the loose threads dangling since, in some examples, the first volume. But she manages to do that without too much visible effort.
I found the book gripping and fun to read, as always. Even moving, in parts.
