What Potter fans are saying

"It's very good, but it was surprising. It's different from a lot of others because it's got a lot of twists and turns," Kelly Kubik, 17, Hudson, Ohio.

"Harry loves me. He looks just like me," Nachy Saeng-Xuto, 4, Bangkok, Thailand.

"J.K. Rowling has been my best friend for years now. I feel very emotional about saying goodbye," Alice Elliott, 22, Rome.

"All of tonight I won't go to sleep. I definitely hope that Voldemort will die. I hope that Harry will live, although I'm sure he will be exhausted if he does," Emily-Jane Willmot, 19, Wellington, New Zealand.

"I grew up with Harry Potter so I think this is a fitting ending to my childhood," Adela Lim, 16, Singapore.

"I'm hoping for tears from this book. Two books brought tears," Kevin Mutsch, 16, Milwaukee.

"I need Harry Potter! I need that next book to go on in life!" Peter Adler Asch, 12, Silver Spring, Md.

"We haven't really had any other books click with us. The 'Lemony Snickets' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and the others, which are great books, they just weren't as interesting, especially to read out loud as a family. When we tried to do the same thing with those, it just hasn't worked out," John Jackson, 38, Louisville, Ky.
