Just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I must say that the ending of the series was, in my opinion, brilliant. Quite an enjoyable read, and I wouldn't say that I'm a particularly fervent fan. Now that it's over I'm sad to see the story end (as I always am with such tales).
My favorite character, by far, was Severus Snape -- tragic, noble, brave, and desperately misunderstood.












Wow, I had no idea you were a Potterphile! I loved it, too... and it also made me a lot more introspective in church on Sunday morning, thinking about sacrificial death and resurrection and so forth.
I don't know if I'd consider myself a "Potterphile" really... I mostly bought the seventh book because I noticed I already had the first six and couldn't bear to leave the collection incomplete :) But yes, I thought the last half of the seventh book was quote good.
