I finally got around to reading this. I was a bit disappointed but, I liked the book. I had a little trouble getting into it in the beginning and I felt it was a bit slow going for a while there, but once Harry and crew left Sirius' place it picked up.

The ending wasn't perfect but it wrapped up well enough for me. I thought the final duel was kind weak though and dragged on with a little too much of Harry talking and explaining wandlore. It felt like she wanted to be sure the readers understood why what happened happened so she just had Harry give a play by play as it was happening; wasn't very subtle or exciting.

I thought she could have just had them duke it out in a quicker, more intense duel then have Harry explain to everyone else after the fact if she wanted. During the fight I just had this mental image of them walking in circles for five minutes with Harry lecturing Voldemort on wands and their behavior.

Other than that, no serious complaints.
