Deathly Hallows

Way too much potential for spoilers, so I'll just say that this final installment does a comprehensive job of tying up all the loose ends, and it's hard to imagine a resumption of the series at any point in time, for which many fans held out hope. I can't really think of any major unanswered questions. The Sopranos this was not.

It was written that back when JK Rowling first started the series, she always knew what the final word of the final book would be. There were two endings, so I'm not sure to which she referred, but neither struck me as particularly memorable (the words, not the endings). Did she make a course change?

Now that I'm done, I feel like I did after watching Return of the King. I had so much anticipation for the concluding chapter, and it more than satisfied, but then it was over. Like, really over. The letdown's unavoidable.

Oh well, at least there are two more movies to look forward to. And I guess I won't be doing much reading of novels in the next three years anyway.
