The perfect way to wrap up this hold-onto-your-seats, impossible-to-stop-thinking-about, series. Without spoiling for any kids who haven't gotten this far yet, I will say I am pleased overall with the survivors, and as the series was very well done, sad for the losses but they were done, in the book (not so much in the movies) with grace and care and the respect they deserve.

The entire point of the series comes out in the final pages of this last installment - it was left out of the movie so if you're a fan DO read the books. I will not post spoilers here, as I said but it is important.

Ms. Rowling's imagination and creativity here are heroic and often - yes, I'll say it - true to life. Thank you, Jo for the insight and for helping me to open my mind. Your books mean so much to my family. The movies do make for great watching when we can calm ourselves down about the cuts and changes - like any book-to-movie needs in order to fit onto film.

Read the entire series, in order - you'll never be disappointed. In fact, you won't be able to put it down. & if you keep an open mind, you might even learn some valuable things...
