It's OK, but I think if you haven't read the book I don't think certain things would make sense. Although I may be wrong about that. Even so, there was a lot explained in the book that wasn't featured in the film, but Rowling vets them so I doubt there could be anything crucial missed out.

Nuff excited about the last book. I've booked a day off work so I can read it all day.

Should have offered him a go with one of your plaid shirts Kendra, that would have got him.

Was quite funny how they revealed some unnanounced spoilers on the Friday Night Project today. Even if they turn out to be false, it'll be good to see people threatening ofcom about it

All my colleagues went straight to the bookstore across the road and bought a copy at 9am. Charlie, who is sat opposite me, has almost finished it already (it's been a very quiet day here). I'm not that interested myself, but it is quite funny how some people who have previously laughed at me for being geeky about Lost are far, far worse about this.

4 hours after the store closed I finished this eagerly anticipated “final?” Harry Potter book. So did it live up to my expectations? Did it answer all those unanswered questions? Did it grip me as much as I wanted, no, needed it to? Well…..

The boy wizard becomes a man, it was an interesting bridge for J.K Rowling to cross but I think she did it admirably. Harry, having left us at the end of the last book vowing to hunt for Voldemort’s horcruxes without help from anyone except his trusted friends Ron & Hermione, sets off determinedly to do just that. No longer cosseted by the safety of either Hogwarts or Dumbledore, Harry shows amazing skills and unimaginable strength of character surviving in the wizarding world, chased by Death Eaters & Voldemort with nothing but his wand, his wits and his 2 friends.

The Ministry of Magic is being infiltrated at every turn, there are murders and wizarding injuries galore but intermingled by a humour that belongs to J.K alone. The pace of this book astounded me, Harry is now obviously a man and in this story he needs to be just that to survive. The desperation and isolation Harry is feeling comes across in every word.

I was hooked from the first paragraph, gripped to the bitter end. I cried, laughed, sobbed and shouted in equal measure. Without a doubt in my mind this is J.K Rowling’s most exciting and amazing book, it gave me everything I was looking for and more. Does it leave you wanting more? Absolutely. Could Harry reappear in a new book? Now that question only you can answer once you’ve read the book yourself
