Just got done reading it!!!!Spoiler:
I agree that the middle section was a little lackluster, even though it did make the bond between Ron, Hermione, and Harry deeper to the readers.
BTW I've seen some pretty wild things about Dumbledore being the true villian of the book. Am I missing something? This book, if anything, showed that Dumbledore wasn't an Angel From Above like the first six represented him, but a real, true wizard who learned from past mistakes and showed that it's possible to make the best out of any life. Adding a human element to Dumbledore made him a more interesting character. Plus, arguing that what he made Harry go through was bastardly and that he was just using him is false also...the book clearly (well, I thought it was clear) explains that Dumbledore led him down this path to suicide because he knew it would destroy the soul link between the two. It did, hence Voldemort being mortal and Harry being free from the scar burning. Dumbledore knew this would happen and it did. I don't see how you could twist this into evil unless you read up to the point before Harry actually committed the act of suicide and then stopped.
I also thought that the chapter(s) containing the scene where Harry realized that he had to die and he actually marching solitarily to Voldemort were possibly the best written scenes of all the books.
