were you satisfied with books six and seven? what a let down! when I read book 6 after reading it I was sad. Why did dumbledore die? do they have to kill him. So, I restrained myself not to buy the last one but no, the day it was released here I went to the bookstore and bought one. But like the previous one I again was not satisfied with it. the last one lack some actions. I even used to brag harry potter series with a friend that it was good but he got me hooked with the sword of truth series. He told me that the level of the magic used by the cahracters are higher compared to HP and it has lots of actions and it will make you hang up for more of the story. well after reading the last book in HP I think he was right. sword of truth is ok.
I got so frustrated with it that I spent time in the fanfic.net and read some of the stories there. I think they did it better! Even if I have finals I spent my time reading it! hehe. I didnt even flunked a single test for cramming a few minutes before the test.

Book 6 was quite a dissapointment just like Book5... filled with so much irrelevant details that I started suffering from depression after reading it...
Dumbledore really had a reason to die. If you read Book-7 you will understand, don't restraint yourself from buying it. Buy it and read it, you will have a better understanding of the book! If Dumbledore didn't die, then I guess the Chosen One to kill Voldy would be Dumbledore and not HArry... so to keep the story on track... it was necessary... and don't be so sad, he did make a gust appearance at last...
I really cant understand why no one liked it.. All those fan-fics you read.. if you would read it again you would realise that there are loads of loopholes in it but JKR's thing is absolutely perfect... All the mess that she had created, she sorted out slowly and nicely... And I liked the warm ending...

Well i actually liked Half Blood prince because i think the twist where snape became the one to kill Dumbledore was really well executed and on the whole it was a pretty good book. But Harry Potter 7 absolutely sucked. The twist was completely ruined and the whole plot lost its charisma. The entire book was like 200 pages of nothing and then they break into Gringotts and then 200 pages of nothing and they break into some other place noone has broken into

I understand your dissatisfaction about Harry Potter book 6, Dumbledore need to die for a reason in book 6 and you will get to know that once you have read book 7.
To be honest I am not fully satisfied about book 7, I am looking for something more different but it turn out that the book is really for kids to begin with.
Harry Potter will not be able to defeat the Dark Lord if Dumbledore is still alive, the Dark Lord is searching for the wand that Dumbledore have from the day his wand was broken.
Harry Potter, I still consider to one of the best book written for all ages...

Aww... I liked HP the way JK wrote it! She gave us explanations to all the things we were questioning, and I expected the deaths. It was like she taught us a reality of life, something some readers weren't prepared for. I also liked what she gave the main characters: a future. I had a great time reading the books when they were released. I'm rereading Half-Blood Prince now, just because the movie's about to come out. :)

I liked book 6 but book 7 was a bit of a letdown. It didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was really slow until the end when the pace picked up but then seemed to move a little too fast.
