Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J. K. Rowling.#

I was hoping very much for a different ending... more sinister (particularly given the growing wickedness of our protagonist... pp 435, 508 and 531), but I was happy with what we got, although the epilogue was a bit cheese-ball, and worrisome about potential sequels in the Wizarding world.#

I thought there were some great innuendos in the book (pp. 52, 113), great cleverness (pp. 97, 125--126), humour (p. 140), sinisterness (p. 242), absurd deus ex machina (Chapter 19.)#

I hope I'm not the only one to realize that page 328 allows us to place the timing of all these events.#

I thought page 355 was a bit absurd given that is essentially a random part of the "book."#

A recurring thought was how great the movie will be given the enormous amount of action in this movie. Hopefully it will be like Kill Bill: two parts.#
