nope...da last is deathly hallows, which i hav yet to read da book

Way Of The Dragon: From a distance - 20 paddlers move in perfect rhythm to a muted drum beat, gracefully skimming the water's surface. Up close - determined grunts and strained sinews with oars in grip, dig vigorously into the water. The majestic head of the dragon fronts this contraption but the real heart lies just behind it, at the apex of the bow. Like a conductor of an orchestra, the drummer leads his crew with the calculated beat of his drum. Such is the realm of dragon boating.

The Deathly Hallows is the last book.

This book is about Voldemort's memory. Very interesting look into his story.

Just came back from watching the show

The story was draggy and a lot of mysteries left untold so the ending was kinda disappointing. Not very good if you ask me

I read the reviews on newspapers and similar reviews that the story was slow.

I liked it leh. The development of the characters' BGRs went better than I hoped. Not ALL that cheesy as it was in the book. If you find it slow then probably the Transformers "bang-a-minute" type of action thriller is more your cup of tea ba

A lot of the unexplained/undeveloped things... well, too much in the book, can never put everything in a 2.5-hr movie de lor. If this was bad, then Lord of the Rings is even worse... half the flavour of the book was lost in the making of the movie.

Ehhh... I found that the kids' acting have all imrpoved a lot. Draco and Harry were quite convincing. Dumbledore is still the weak link. Such a major role but not well acted IMHO. The part where he had to drink and drink... not as moving as the book made it out to be.

Overall, quite enjoyable lah
