Drawing to a close ... This book is full of surprises. The sixth book of the series and J.K. Rowling still has readers spellbound. This book will not disappoint. Another 5 star read. You will not be able to put it down, but have some tissues handy.

this was an enormous step up from the fifth book, several revelations (ok several enormous revelations) are unveiled in this second last book of the famous harry potter series, and we see one of the main characters bid adieu to all fans (yes, prepare to be crying bucket fuls by the end of this)

Great book. Second to last book in the Harry Potter series, so basically the sixth book by J.K Rowling. Its a great book. Spellbidind. We continue in harry's adventures along with hermione and Ron. Dumbledore continues to show us more about Voldemort's past and what has made Voldemort essentially immortal. Horcruxes. We also see more of the Hermione and Ron relationship in the making and also FINALLY Harry and Ginny get together. BUT will the book end in tragedy? the end draws near.

This was a great book. It was full of adventure, action, love and sadness.
In this book Harry finally realises what he must do to defeat the Dark Lord. He and Dumbledore complete many journeys into the memory of others who have known Lord Volemort as a boy trying to uncover as much of Volemorts past as the could. Dumbledore and Harry create a close relationship throughout this book which will last to the end of Harry's life.
Out of all the rest of the books in the series I think this is the best one yet.
You don't know what you are missing out on if you dont read the Harry Potter series.

Very goos book, just like all the others. I recom eed that parents use these books as tools to get their kids interested in reading, as well as having a look at them themselves! This is a great book, fantastic story, riveting ending, and a really good lead on to the final chapter of the harry potter saga. I think that these books will be sadly missed when the story is fially finished, luckily we can all read them again and again. 5 Stars.

Not too be missed!!! Very exciting book, and ending to die for, really sets up the next book well....

This is a very epic book, although its page count is somewhat shorter than its predecessor. Harry has reached the ripe old age of 16 and is learning more than ever how to combat the evil that is embodied in Lord Voldemort, the man who murdered Harry's parents and then turned the wand on Harry. But he couldn't kill Harry and was defeated, for a time. Harry is the Chosen One, and a heavy weight rests upon his shoulders.

This book is shorter than Order of the Phoenix but i think that a lot more important information has been incorporated in it. It's a shame that Harry was dishonest enough to use cheats from the half blood princes textbook because even if he hadn't won the felix, Hermione would have and she would have let Harry use it I'm sure. But it made for an extremely good story~~ Learning more about Voldemort was worthwhile and interesting.

wow these books get better and better every time i dont mind that the books get bigger and bigger these books are amazing harry potter are one of the best series i have ever read i was not much of a reader back in the days but with these books i find it hard to put them down i have started to read them to my son. AMAZING 10/10
