Completely agree. To me (and my husband and our 13 yo an 8yo) DH is a 
magnificent conclusion to what is surely one of the best fantasy 
adventure series of the ages.  I am a verrrrrrrrrrrrrry long time 
lurker and it often seems that those on this list have been reading a 
completely different book.  The ultimate heroism of Harry, as well as 
Ron and Hermione is deeply moving and feels very real. All romances 
have lovely conclusions (long foreshadowed).  

The intricate plotting is amazing - just think of all the echos in DH 
of the first book - even Griphook and Gringotts dragon make an 
appearance, to say nothing of Serius' motorbike (on which Harry leaves 
Privet Drive just the way he arrived there) and Dumbeldore's broken 
nose (noted in the very first chapter of the first book)!

And anyone who doesn't cheer when Bellatrix got hers from Molly (of all 
people) or understand that Snape really could not have been turned into 
a nice guy (his redemption was just right, giving him a noble purpose 
and showing his courage and, yes, loyalty while not pretending he was 
ever anything other than a sadistic jerk we have always seen)... Well I 
think, as you say, many posters got derailed into some parallel HP 
series that was in their head but never on the page!
