Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows



The last chapter in Harry's long, epic adventure. Following Dumbledore's death, Voldemort has taken over the Ministry of Magic. This means he can take over Hogwarts, realizing the trouble has taken another step upon him, Harry, Ron and Hermione, each drops out of the school. They must finish what Dumbledore has left behind : destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes. They go alone, isolating themselves for their friends and family' safety. Across the adventure, they run into Xenophillius Lovegood, who tells them about the Deathly Hallows. The Hallows are revealed to by three mystical objects : the Elder Wand, the permanent Invisibillity Cloak and the Resurrection Stone. Harry figures that Voldemort are aftering the Elder Wand himself. Using the Resurrection Stone, Harry is able to see his parents again, sharing some dear moments with them, who tells Harry to be strong and go against Voldemort. He has to finish this once and for all. So who will live ? Who will die?
Throughout of the book, readers will experience Harry's struggles with his friendship with Ron and Hermione. You can watch Harry's fears over Ginny's fate, anxious of seeing her beloved face again for he doesn't know if he will her again or not, you will have to read the book to know Snape's real nature. Once again, Rowling's precise writing skills has impressed me, the characters' mood are well displayed and easy to pictured. I love how Harry's thoughts are portrayed in this book, they're very real and sometimes naive, sometimes mature. Also, I like how the scene where Harry and Dumbledore shares a moment with each other as teacher and pupil, I think it's the best moment in the series for its lovable nature and wise atmosphere. Too bad this is the last book in the series, but I'm still waiting for the prequel. I describe this book as "A decisive ending to the HP series".
