Amazing book, though most of its strength comes from wrapping up the previous 6 books, though I guess this is the point of a series of books.
The book in itself felt a little dry to me in the middle when Harry and Hermione are wandering around and trying to figure out what they should do all by themselves. However, the last couple of chapters (especially the one about Snape in the Pensieve) are absolutely outstanding.
I like how this book handles the final confrontation between Harry and Lord Voldemort way better than the films and it saddens me that they changed it so much. Harry having ample time to explain to Voldemort that he was wrong on several occasions works way better in the books than in the films.
Finally, it is worth noting that this series was way better for me on the second readthrough.
