Finally Hallows came and as expected set yet another world record for selling maximum number of copies in a day. Potter mania is all around and even i plunged into the flowing river to wash my hands off the much awaited 7th book.
This blog is mainly about my views about the book so no offense made :) . I was little late to grab the book. Instead of many fans getting it at 6am in morning i got it at 8pm but the same day.
When i finished the book on Monday eve I was kind of satisfied but there wasn't the thing, which i had expected, would have occurred after finishing the book. Everything went as predicted and only thing i felt sorry was for Fred's death.
To be frank, overall, I didn't like the book much. The main reason for that was the description of Voldemort and other death eaters. It was such a one sided battle. Harry gets almost everything correct whereas Voldermort sucks at everything. I felt voldemorts description were really pathetic. After being described the same man in 6th book with such high regards and with such a precision, somehow i felt the same thing lacking in book 7.
Voldemort never felt anything when his horcruxes were destroyed by people. The horcruxes were more of stupid things which can be destroyed with some funky stuff. voldemort never felt the pain when horcruxes suppose to be attached to his soul because his strength depends upon the horcruxes. Malfoy and other death eaters seemed to be dumber than voldemort. It was so unfair for a writer like JKR to come up with something like this.
I maybe little harsh here, but after reading Harry Potter you really feel the closeness with the characters. I liked the ending but it could have been better, it was like some bollywood movie for me, where Hero doesn't even get a single bullet out of 1000 fired at him. And villain keeps on doing same mistake all again.
Hallows was just ok for me. Wish it could have been better.

Hahhaha! Bollywood movie! I agree with you on Voldemort and Horcrux part! BUt it also shows you that power makes you so blind that you can't even see what's happening to your soul! U can take that as a symbolism. "I am of the opinion that JKR can never be wrong."
As for the undermining of Voldemort act, I agree. I didnt even dare to take the name. But now after book 7, i dont mind Tom Riddle also.
Didnt u miss Ginny in the book?
hmm... well i dont agree with u on, that JKR can never be wrong. Maybe she was best for you in the last book but for me she was just any other writer.
Ginny's part was very small in this book, but whenever her reference came, it was all romantic. I could feel that somehow.. :))...even during the hogwarts fight, harry says her to keep safe and all. It was so touchy.
