\"Harry<\/a>Seven and a half hours. Although not seven and a half hours straight, since there was a very large break in the middle to have dinner with my family. Which was good, because I had to hand it off to Michael, so hopefully he’ll be able to finish before the weekend is over.<\/p>\n

The only thing I really want to say is that I am very pleased with the ending. Lots of people die, which isn’t necessarily a good thing, but is realistic thing. And the important things that I hoped would happen, did happen.<\/p>\n

I saw some things coming, but that was okay, because there were only so many ways certain situations could be resolved, and I thought she did a good job of dealing with the things I presumed would be expected.<\/p>\n

So yay for J.K. Rowling, I thought this was an excellent conclusion to the series, and–no offense–I hope that she refuses to write any more Harry Potter books. Because she did an excellent job here of concluding the story.
