REVIEWS:
"Throughout, Rowling returns to and embellishes the hallmark themes of the series: the importance of parental influences, the redemptive power of sacrifice, and the strength found in love. These truths are the underpinnings of a finale that is worthy of fans' hopes and expectations."
Booklist, starred review
". . . there¿s no one like Rowling. Who else has sustained such an intricate, endlessly inventive plot over seven thick volumes and so constantly surprised her readers with twists, well-laid traps and Purloined Letter¿style tricks? Hallows continues the tradition, both with sly feats of legerdemain and with several altogether new, unexpected elements."
Publishers Weekly, starred review
". . . the final battle with Voldemort, involving a full range of friends and foes, is Rowling at her finest. . . . Fans of the series will devour this lengthy tome and will be left hoping for more tales from this fully-fleshed fantastic world."
School Library Journal
"Rowling fulfills the promise of earlier volumes, tying up loose threads, deepening character complexities to match Harry's evolving recognition of life's shades of gray, pulling out every emotional stop, and leading her hero into adulthood while still producing the most focused plot line and layered, heart-in-throat climax of the series."
Horn Book
"To create such an extraordinary world, fill it with complicated characters and convergent back stories is beyond the reach of most writers. To sustain that world and grow those characters over seven books filled with plot twists, folklore and even a magical curriculum and then bring it all to an articulate, emotionally wrenching conclusion - that is a truly epic quest."
