I grew up with these books, and I grew up with Harry. And after reading the seventh book, my childhood is definitely over - too adult things and issues are covered in it. Perhaps that's why this closing chord is so satisfying to me.
I read it again recently. I don't like Voldemort's death scene in the movie. I loved that in the book, everyone was watching and there to see it, and in the end, Voldemort was just a regular corpse. All his attempts at immortality failed, and he was a regular human corpse like anyone else. In the movies, Harry is the only one who sees Voldemort die, and Voldemort turns into confetti so Harry doesn't even have his dead body to prove to everyone else that Voldemort's really dead this time.
