I was extremely unimpressed. Fortunately, I have almost nothing invested in the idea that the series is well-written.

TCW is not DH-compliant because I was sure DH was going to be full of fail. I was right.

Word. Parts of it? Not so bad. The overall idea of the Hallows? Introduced much too late in the series--book 7 of 7 ought to be a wrapping-up, not a complicating-times-seventeenhundred. That being said? Really liked the bit in the forest with Mum, Dad, Sirius, and Lupin. (But I guess when you start off with the idea that Bill/Fleur, Remus/Tonks, and Harry/Ginny are all superfluous, the book was going to suck at least a quarter of the way before it even got started.)

You ought to grab Trelawney's job, your predictions are much less sucky. lol

In all honesty, I'm sort of glad I got spoiled for it before I read it. It made the whole thing much less traumatic than it could have been.

To be fair, there were things that were quite good. The Ministry and Gringott's were easily the best parts of the book for me. Also, Neville rocked my world.

I was totally wtf with bringing the Hallows in that late. Bad author! Bad! You put so many other guns on the table early (and didn't resolve a lot of them). The Hallows felt like cheating.

I'm glad I read the carpet book early too.
