Customer Reviews

J. K. Rowling still has that magical writing ability.

This is an ongoing story of a young wizard and his pals coming of age, and his adventures in learning how to deal with people and situations that become more of a challenge as he advances through each age in each book. This, the seventh book, is the further adventures of Harry, his friends, his enemies, and quite a few familiar and unfamiliar critters. Will all the speculations come true? This book (being way too short) is tightly written; there is no fluff, and anything that looks like an excursion from the point will come back to be the main story. No twist or turn does not have support from previous writing. So it does no good to try and bypass a single word. You will have to carve out some time to be able to complete this story. It may be strange, but the wording of the narrator in the book sounds suspiciously like the narrator of fractured fairytales. And I never read so many cliff-hangers in one book. -------------------------------------------- The audio edition has about 21 hours of listening on 17 CDs. In the future, maybe someone will stuff all this on one DVD. They stayed with the reader, Jim Dale, who has a way to bring a book to life. He used a different enough voice for each character that you can tell who the speaker is. The beginning and ending of music have changed a bit. Each CD stops abruptly and somehow forms 17 cliffhangers. It makes you want to have a 17-CD changer. The CDs are packaged in groups of three and four.

Bad condition

This book was stated to be in “very good” condition but when it showed up the book was with out a dust jacket and covered in black splotches and just looked overall dirty. 😡

Not what I ordered. Also damaged

I bought this book as a hardcover. I have a torn paperback.

Book without a cover

Didn’t disclose that it did not have a dust jacket in the description. Defeated the purpose for buying this book.

Excellent customer service

I had originally ordered this book and gave it 3 stars because it came dirty, without a dust jacket, and the pages were falling off the spine, barely hanging on. Someone from customer service immediately contacted me and sent me another copy that was a lot cleaner and actually attached to the spine. I had taken pictures to send them in case they needed proof and they didn’t ask for them. It still didn’t have the dust jacket, but the quality was a lot better and the price was great for a used book.

Book looks good

Just a few markings but still good.

Great book and fast delivery!

I order 4 books; 2 of the Harry Potter books for my 7 year old grandson & 2 of the National Geographic Kids books for my 5 year old grandson. I live in MA, 2 books shipped from MD & 2 from GA. All 4 arrived within 5 days. The books I ordered were classified as either "Good" or "Very Good" condition. All 4 of the books are in great used condition, they show a little wear from being previously read, but no writing, tears, etc. My grandsons will be delighted to receive this books!!

Todos los libros que compre están en excelentes condiciones.

Amazing!

I ordered this book (hardcover with dust jacket) from the “pretty good” option and it is AMAZING. Brand New!

Incredible Novel!!!

I bought this book for my daughter. She started reading the Harry Potter series in third grade and simply fell in love with the books. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is her favorite book in the entire series. It has so many twists and J.K. Rowling simply keeps getting better as Harry grows older. The characters become complex and the descriptive language is simply amazing. The novel has a huge build-up of suspense and at many times in this book, there is such a flood of emotion as you read it. Definitely worth reading!!!

One of my favorite series ever!

It's a magical adventure you can't miss... You'll feel emotions as you go through this book and the next ones....

One of my Favs

I truly love this books one of my favorites of all time.

Harry Potter y las reliquias de la muerte.

Puedo decir que el libro me tuvo en suspenso todo el tiempo de principio a fin. Demas esta decir que lo lei en 3 dias. Me gusto mucho la parte en donde el profesor Snape brinda informacion sobre su niñez y el por que de tratar de esa manera a Potter al igual que puedo entender mejor otras partes de los libros anteriores. Pero la parte de mas suspenso comienza cuando los cazadores encuentran a Ron, Hermione y Harry en la caseta de campaña de ahi en adelante fue cuando mas me llamo la atencion. La parte cuando le matan la reliquia que esta dentro de Harry y ahi Dumbledore explica tantas cosas ... En fin me encanto. Lo uncio que no me gusto es que nunca mencionaron como que fue lo que paso Umbridge. En fin hay que leerlo pero los 7 libros corridos como lo hice y creanme que vale la pena de esa manera.

Nice CD set!

This 17-disc audio version of the final Harry Potter book is a worthy way to experience the story without reading it. It features the rich baritone of narrator Jim Dale, who tells the tale with just the right understated touch, supplying all of the characters' voices. As for Dale's accent, it's appropriately British but not at all too thick. Each word is clear and easy to understand. If you've bought any of the earlier Potter audio CDs you know what to expect: Dale narrated all of those, too. By the way, note that this is an UNABRIDGED audio book. Listening to it all takes 21 hours! The story is dark, and too violent for younger kids, but overall one of the best in the Harry Potter series. Nothing seems forced or thrown together. Author J.K. Rowling wraps up her many plot points and reveals the fates of her characters in ways that almost always surprise you, but afterward seem inevitable. And how she does it is so inventive! Many throwaway moments and whispered remarks from earlier books foreshadow what happens here, and devices that had little importance before, such as Sirius's flying motorcycle, now play key roles. While creating yet another gripping tale, the author also ties her entire epic together with the skill of a true literary master. As a writer myself, I really admire her skill. (Last time I checked, Rowling was outselling me by about, oh, a billion to one.) In addition, the book treats its title character with the complexity he deserves. It portrays the (now) young man as disillusioned, full of doubt, overwhelmed -- a tortured soul who, though a responsible leader in an all-out war, often seems to yearn to do nothing more than sweet-talk Ginny Weasley. Parents should know, however, that this one is a real creepfest, with the most explicitly violent scenes of any book in the series. It's way too brutal for grade schoolers. Also, unlike the earlier Potter tales, the far-reaching vocabulary requires about a 6th-grade education.
