Harry Potter is preparing to leave the Dursleys and Privet Drive for the last time. But the future that awaits him is full of danger, not only for him, but for anyone close to him – and Harry has already lost so much. Only by destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes can Harry free himself and overcome the Dark Lord's forces of evil.
In this dramatic conclusion to the Harry Potter series, Harry must leave his most loyal friends behind, and in a final perilous journey find the strength and the will to face his terrifying destiny: a deadly confrontation that is his alone to fight.

I was delighted (or slightly irritated) again by some of the details I had forgotten since my 2007 reading. I have to admit to staying up well past bedtime last night to finish the book/series. No regrets!
Very good book with a surprising ending.
Maybe it's because I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it, and maybe it's because I listened to it on my long runs, but its suspense and the magic of the world the author describes so vividly was truly enjoyable. It could have been better if the villains and the good guys weren't so black and white, but there were quite a few surprises, and not all the good guys are saints, just as not all the bad guys are truly bad. Although I am much closer to the geezer age group than a teenager, I am glad to have read, or rather listened to, this book.
I stayed awake for a whole entire day and listened to jim Dale's narration of this book. The only thing I was disappointed by was the epilogue--that and the knowledge that there will be no more Harry Potter books.
