Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

As all the smallest iota of enjoyment of Harry Potter I was looking forward to reading the last of the series (allegedly). In fact, I have Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at noon today and quickly sat down and read start to finish in one sitting. This 600-page fantasy reads rather well, it must be said, flowing together nicely at a good pace. It's dark and bloody, but again you wait with Voldemort kick around?
Alas, we can say that therein lies the problem. There is not really one of the twists and turns that one expects from Harry Potter books. In fact, one could argue it was more likely to be the limit. This does not mean it's not a pleasure rather skirt the story's final boy wizard. One thing that strikes throughout the book is that it is rather visual, almost film. The book is clearly written in a way that would not be terribly difficult to turn in a script.
