JKR ends his series with a groan. The whole mythology and characterization of all who made the last six books a joy to read is thrown out the window to compensate for its hackneyed story. Inconsistencies in abundance grace the pages of this confusing mess. Characters we love, like Hermione, Ron, Lupine, and Dumbledore become losers shmucks total and absolute. Sex, violence, nudity and language garbage pages. Parents do not let your kids read this crap! If JKR Harry was sick, he should have left the series rather than just give your loyal followers of this poor excuse of an ending, but I guess now I know who has taken these past ten years to complete his series, the money.

I believe this book is good and bad for the world. It's good because at least they got children reading again and that's a good thing for the long term. The hope is that when these children grow, they will have more information and major works by authors who have something to say about reality, not necessarily fancy. The bad news is that this book is about witches and sorcerers. We all know that this stuff is not real, but I wonder to what extent the immature mind will realize that after plowing through seven training courses very well written about being a witch and uses magic and sorcery in the world. In my mind, since there is no such thing as witchcraft, and nobody in my life has shown that it is, then, is inadequate to teach children that witchcraft is the way to defeat the evils of this world? See, evil must be fought by a person in a moment to realize that evil is and where is the truth and join forces with other like-minded people. And then, once identified, the united strength has to take action, before the evil spreads and takes over the world, as is happening now. Indeed, witchcraft is not going to stop. That is the problem and I see no meeting of the forces there to stop him, not in the real world. I see children growing up waving magic wands to problems in their lives and that the attack in this country or our planet. There is much at stake, it is wise to spend so much of our collective will in witchcraft? Are there other ideas that would fare better in the fight for our freedom and liberty? And remember, children are our only hope. It's too late for this generation to do something important in this regard. And, I must admit I'm a little jealous of the success of JK Rowling. I'm writing that has been fighting all their lives to make a living at this game and so far has eluded me during my life, which is almost 60 years. However, this woman who is a great writer, do not misunderstand me, is sitting in a cafe in the welfare of his family, he scratches the Harry Potter book and immediately found a publisher and the largest number of readers history, even more than the Bible? Now, that's witchcraft. Author Michael Mathiesen (…) God bless you for everything READING, really. You are an endangered species.

A book in the series 7 is quite an achievement and Rowling obviously had carefully and thoughtfully with the conclusion of the story. Unfortunately, however, the evolution (both in the plot and, with one exception, the character) are disappointments for me. Harry's world is dark, with incessant killings of young and old, the characters we care and that only briefly knew. How will this be translated to the screen and still be suitable for children? I'm an adult, but was drawn through the years to the fantasy she created inventive and imaginative combination of characters, good and bad, always revolving around the young hero and his friends. The conflict with Voldemort was never the heart of the show for me. Unfortunately, continuing a trend that began in books 5 and 6, in Book 7, the conflict with Voldemort is not only the centerpiece, but becomes increasingly suffocating – the detriment of good story telling, in my opinion. Too. Much. Death. Too. Many. Losses (in death, but also in character development. Girls, in particular, appear suddenly decreases and cliches). With so much focus on the destruction of Voldemort, Rowling has also destroyed much that was pleasant in his series, for starters. So? Worst of all? If the termination is impossible to believe, it seems that in a world without Voldemort, magicians, simply be. . . Muggles.

In that pooping in front of your grandmother is great. I poop on this book, that's for sure. J. O K. Rowling 's chest. That would be a great ending. Potter's life! Viva la revolucion! Buy toilet paper and bedding more! We should all be reading the 9 / 11 instead of report. Contains over loopity Doo magic and this whole series.

. . . I must say that I know some satanic murderers who argue that evil once heard that Joanne Rowling, "I want to reap a harvest of death, when you least expect it." To plunge right into it, if you ever ask Joanne to do something, you can bet that your order is lost in the shuffle, unaddressed, ignored and rejected. The main point of disagreement between me and Joanne is whether or not I like about it as "poor quality". That's a reasonable term to use, I maintain, but now let's try to understand a little better. To begin, either Joanne has a real conception of the sweep of history, or it is not the intention of winning a debate trying to pin a hole in my logic with "facts" that are taken out of context . I'm not very familiar with his background. To be quite frank, I do not mind being. I know enough to say with confidence that Joanne teaches workshops on mysticism. Students who have gone through the program compare it to a new field of communist education. Let me give an important hint: When trying to understand what you are doing, see what you're doing and what he has done. Do not be distracted by the tapping and hand-waving, keep your eyes on the shell is the pea under it. And focus your mind on the fact that his desire to force to do things or take positions against our will is the main sign is a pseudo-intellectual foam. (The second sign is that Joanne feels compelled to legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged to the oppressed.) Given the intransigent political rhetoric of our time, Joanne is a faithful student of Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese strategist who advocated demoralize the enemy as the supreme art of war. On top of that out, all the bad things that are happening are a symptom of Joanne's illogical signs. They are not a cause, but are an effect. Ever feel that the lime of the question does not offer any real analysis of the situation that led to criticism of his rusty in the first place? Well, you should, because I'm tired of hearing or reading that she can walk on water. You know that's simply not true. Now that you've heard what I had to say, I think about it. And I want to join me and criticize the obvious incongruities Joanne Rowling and her friends.
