Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Well, I finally finished the last Harry Potter book right before Thanksgiving. It took me a long time to get through it...I wasn't one of the people who can read it all overnight. The book was fine, it ended as I expected, with some unexpected information coming out about Snape and Dumbledore, but I thought Rowling could have wrapped it up in fewer pages. I found the first half of the book hard to get through, then found it more interesting in the final chapters. What did you think?
