Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

So now I have finished the saga and I can now understand a number of inferences they were lost on me for awhile.

Once again characters carry the day, in my opinion. I like how Rowling depicts the way people respond to fear and bullies as well as biases—many of them blind to the characters who have them but clear to the reader.

Parts of the book felt drawn out to me. One nitpick: magicians don't know how to handle muggle technology or dress, but can swear like them rather well? Clearly the subject matter in the books grows in maturity as the readers surely did as they were published. The presence of certain words feel out of place to me and rob some of the emotion from the scene for me.

I'm glad to have read these books, but I'm not sure if I'll sign up for this marathon again.
