Here are my thoughts on the book.
Spoiler: I was pretty unimpressed with the book. You consider that they continue to use basically 5 spells (or so), against the death eaters. I am glad to see all those years in Hogwarts really taught them soo much! And also you have teens fighting against the evil folk, the Death Eaters and somehow on and off through the series (not only this book) holding their own (excluding final battle).
Now the whole wand theory I would think would not have been such a huge surprise or super secret about a wand choosing his master, or belonging to the victor. But all of a sudden it appears at the end of the series and bam one quick flick and Harry wins. While I knew he would survive I wish there was something more to it then such a simple twist. Of course Harry living and surviving death nothing was mentioned him surviving but perhaps still getting injured by the ‘death.’
That criticism being said, I do have to say I love to read fantasy and in my mind this series was ok at best. But the one thing I do love about it all is the fact that it got millions to read (especially the kids). Oh and the fact that I got to borrow Cynthetiq copy of the book and not pay for it (which I would not have anyways) also helped.
