The ending is a bit of a blur for me right now, but I remember that when I read it I didn't find the ending satisfying. Harry dying, but then he's not dead for some reason is one thing I didn't like. It was good though, but not as great as I had hoped (I was hyped up for the ending for years).

I thought it made sense. All that "death" did was remove the Horcrux from Harry. No one really died at all because of the twice-over bond between the two characters (Voldemort putting part of his soul in Harry during the initial attack and then taking some of Harry for his reformation in Goblet of Fire). Before one of them could actually die for realsie, those bonds had to be broken or the fallen would continue to live on in the other.

The end is not satisfying because Harry doesn't defeat Voldemort in any real way. It's more Voldemort stupidity which kills him. A bit of an anti-climax
