I really don't think the books were supposed to be about any big surprise; the bigger surprise would be if someone really thought that they would end without Harry defeating Voldemort in some grand manner. The story is all about the journey and the greater idea of goodness and friendship and perseverance versus its antithesis. I also wholeheartedly disagree that there is no lasting literary value in these books and don't understand why there always has to be a competition in that someone is not as good of a magician as X other character - why can't a book be good of its own merit?
I haven't seen the film yet due to work but I'm hoping to find a theatre that will do a back-to-back showing of part 1 and part 2 so I can see them all in one go. I cannot wait.
