I have read the book now. Personally, I love the ending. I love the way it all just fits together. I love the way Dumbledore made a mistake, not thinking Harry would be able to want his own death so much for the security of others that it would give him another chance. I find it truly amazing that Harry faced him, not as Voldemort, but as Tom Riddle, and that he was able to scare him more than he was ever scared himself, simply by staying calm and explaining the truth. I believe that if he had not spoken, not told him the truth of everything, that he may just have been killed a second, final time. I think it's great that this proves the point that magic was only what the wizard made it to be. Harry used it for protection, while Tom used it for death, hoping for protection to come with it. the killing curse, once again, rebounded because of the difference between wanting to live, and killing others in the hopes of staying alive forever. I believe there to be a huge difference there, especially since Harry was actually prepared to die as long as others lived. Voldemort would have been prepared to live, as long as others died; he could not stand life if he couldn't decide who lived and who died. He had to be the one that decided.

This is a great book, and has beat the third one as my favourite.
