Leaving out the summary, so there are no spoilers.

Review: I loved it. Honestly loved it. After the disappointment that was OotP and the 'okay'-ness of HBP I was thrilled to see JKR get 'back to basics'. With fun jokes she keeps the book dark, but not too dark, and she doesn't pull any puches so we all know this is real, and this is WAR.

The only thing not up to her standards is the epilogue, and I doubt I'm the only fan to think Rowling sold herself short in including that. A huge waste of pages, but forgivable after the previous 600 pages of adrenalin-inducing action. I laughed, I gasped, I cried. Thank you for a worthy ending to a wonderful series.
