I read the books this year because I wanted to feel pain, basically, and I wanted to be justified in disliking Harry Potter. I was not disappointed. However, I still don't understand how the fuck the end of the book worked. It was so harebrained and convoluted and sloppy as fuck that I don't know what actually happened. Am I stupid or was it a bad ending? And what the fuck happened? How did they actually kill Voldemort?
It's legit fantastic. It's an audiobook narrative retelling of the first movie, synced up to the first movie. Pokes a lot of fun at the monomyth, but also has some really poetic lines. The main one on Youtube is the first version, but I highly recommend looking for the second recording, it's got a lot more polish.
