   For what it's worth, I too was very disappointed in the last two   
   books.  Book Six was downright dreadful except for the first chapter   
   and the last three.  Book Seven was a little better but still not   
   nearly as good as the first five.  And don't get me started on that   
   awful epilogue!   
      
   When I think of the series these days, which isn't very often, I think   
   of the first five books and forget the last two, imagining that the   
   series ended with Dumbledore and Harry combining to kill Lord   
   Voldemort at the end of the fight in the Ministry of Magic, Sirius   
   Black having died gallantly in the final battle.
